Hideaway Strath I tell myself you don't mean a thing

Arashi studied her face closely as she dove into thought. Did he have reason to be nervous for the upcoming words?

The answer came soon. Not at all.

Although his words were not hesitant, it did take a few moments before he'd collected them well enough to speak. I cannot say I have much experience with children. In fact, to be quite honest, I would see myself to be the last wolf suitable to tend their needs. As a child myself, I was never given the opportunity to be a child. It was straight to training and preparation for my coming years. It is not my desire to jump into the life of fatherhood without you first knowing my thoughts, as these are your children and not mine. 

He almost stopped there, but his tongue continued to move.

There are plenty of times when I am harsh and stern... I am not the most gifted when it comes to comforting or praising, nor spreeing with a playful nature. If these are not things you, as a mother, would accept, then I may not be the right man to play father in their lives.
