Sun Mote Copse cannot help you now

mostly family. savaktuk understands that well enough. tartok is mostly family, too. branches and splintering of the same family tree built upon the vision of their first issumatar. despite how it might seem speaking to him — or perhaps looking upon him — he doesn't particularly mind 'peace'. though tartok wolves were known for their fighting skills he doesn't seek reckless war despite how harsh the environment he comes from. they are born from basalt, cold and sea; where only the hardy and strongest survive. he offers a grunt of understanding, punctuated by another firm nod. regardless, just because they lived a peaceful life didn't mean trouble would not eventually find them; and savaktuk was plenty good at being a stoic guardian. more than willing to chase off the unwanted and troublemakers.

did he like kids?

don't know. an honest answer. there were sanajis for that sort of thing — females and males who served as midwives and sitters; and even so savaktuk was not old enough during the heat of the women to sire any cubs himself before he left. would he have, he'd have stayed. he doesn't doubt 'we'll find out' was overly reassuring — but worse case scenario he'd leave as wide a berth as possible between the firebird young and himself ...if he were to be accepted.
