Blacktail Deer Plateau Sugar Cane and Wind Song

Having been raised in a traditional family, where all pups were the product of a man and woman bound by mateship, Koda couldn't make heads or tails of their arrangement. "I'm sorry, I don't understand, why not be mates?" He questioned, entirely aware it was pretty nosy of him. It wasn't like him to dig for information like this, but he really wanted to understand why they were doing this. "I mean, you both must love each other very much to want kids together," he added. They were doing all the things mates do, why not make it official?
