Swiftcurrent Creek [m] Welcome to the world, not-so-little ones

Arric's ears went to his skull. As snarls rent the air. He shifted and jumped as Pukei burst from the den and Arlette followed swiftly behind. She was all bristly fur and wild eyes and of course Arric thought she was gorgeous, but that was a completely different topic.

He stared as she raged at them both and he said nothing and he wasn't going too. Both he and Akavir had been worried, but now was not the time to talk about it. He was just glad Arlette was moving. He should have realized she'd be upset. But frankly at the time his only thought had been whether she was okay. And honestly the curse words that rolled off her tongue, amd the insults. Impressive. Next level. And no lie in sight.

He shook his head as she went back in and settled to his haunches. Let her be angry. Maybe they deserved it a little. And besides she was cute as hell like that. He would never tell her that, then she really might rip him up and he liked his limbs intact, but man.

He spoke softly. Here's to marriage and parenting. I guess. was his dry remark to Akavir.

He sighed. I'll apologize to Pukei later.
