His amber eyes fell onto the hungry pup as Bazi served the almost-liquified puree at his feet. The boy devoured the meal as if he had never been fed before, poking his nose into the grass after he was finished. The male couldn't help but smile as the young Sveijarn yawned and waddled over to the white female, plopping at her side and falling into a deep sleep.
The girl, was mystified by the sight of the pup, which made Galileo smile even wider-- how long would it be until she decided to take the role of a mother too? There was no rush really, the pack was stable and she was young, but it would be sad if she allowed her biological clock to run out. She would make a good mother, if you asked the peppered male. She might not agree now, but in the future she would realize that the gift of a family was the most beautiful one.
He took a small step towards the girl and while looking at the babe coiled against her, he wagged his tail and sat down, the creek had a bright future in front of them --but not as bright as the beaming smile that was shared between the two adults.
As the day continued to roll by and Valtyr began to fall into a pool of dreams, Bazi and Galileo stayed with him, protecting his little soul that would one day be the future of the pack.
