Moonsong Glacier mama cuts like a man-of-war

The man had already shown himself caring and sensitive to the blackbear's wellbeing — Dutch, truthfully, thought this would work out much better for her than her couplings with his own father. Aditya was a loving man to be sure, but the devotion that Sumac had displayed in this short amount of time already set him ahead. It made him just a little sad — he had no relationship with his half-siblings, and he worried that this trend might hold true even with the common denominator of Aditya removed from the equation.

And it was just a little weird, alright? Sumac seemed to be his own age, or perhaps younger, if he wasn't that.

"Sisters are vicious creatures," Dutch noted, glad to see that this was not something singular to his own family. Or perhaps it was, if Sumac was to be counted among that number.

Dutch wasn't about to call him Dad, though.

"I'm not the best, either, truthfully," he admitted to the other man. "I've been practicing, lately. There's a man on the coast who says he can teach me to hunt seal, but I need to be much more skilled in the water before that can come to pass."

He eyed Sumac once more as they came to the water.

"What are you good at?" he wondered aloud, unable to completely squash his protectiveness toward his mother.
