the first wolf to greet him was pema, and while things seemed normal from a distance, it became quite clear as she approached that things were indeed not normal. her gait was slower, more pronounced, and as his gaze drifted to her ever-so-slightly rounded belly, his golden eyes widened in surprised joy. he returned her embrace with the utmost warmth, drawing back to blink happily at her.

"it feels like it, now," adi responded, grinning. "vah! pema, congratulations. i'm so happy for you," he gushed, dipping his muzzle at her swelling abdomen. "who's the lucky guy?"

still, whoever the father was, it was his dear friend pema about to become a mother, and that was some of the greatest news they could have come home to. "how are things here?" he asked her, the smile still lingering on his face.
