daddy issues

His children were so small, it was a wonder to him that they would one day become big and strong like himself or his wife; that they would continue to wield the Sveijarn family name as they made their way in the world. They were sausages now, but one day... One day they would be warriors and hunters, explorers and caretakers. Njal was understandably mystified by these thoughts as they flitted through his mind. Maera called for attention, Jokull nibbled at her father's toes and tried to pull his paw closer, and all the new father could think was, you are amazing. They didn't need to be adults for Njal to recognize that. The man sighed softly and, giving in to Jokull's pulling, allowed his paw to be taken hostage.
