*needs to catch up very badly but also:*

Still damp himself from the creekside he had prowled, he carried back a fish delicately in his jaws--certainly not his most fruitful of catches lately, but he was very much keying into the distractions life posed lately. Hydra's pups had come all well so far, which was a start, though warranted the increased sense of protectiveness across the slopes. That was just the half of it, or no, maybe not even that much. That lead him to the next monumental thought, for with each new day that dawned and set, he was left to chew his toenails about what awaited Kukutux, and by such an extension him. It felt well out of his control by now, far into another realm entirely.. but that did nothing to ease his nerves about it, despite his efforts to swallow them down or exhaust it elsewhere. He was sensing the looming date, though surely not as keenly as his pale mate--who he worried for in many ways with a nervous sort of excitement that he had never met.

Drawing on what he did think he knew from his father, and even their current alpha male, there would probably reach some point where he may be entirely unwelcome up close, forced to keep watch at a distance or else face the ire of a mother that he didn't want to rile. But.. hesitant to press it every time he came innocently wandering on back, he stepped into the clearing before the doorstep gently, ears down and eyes sharp before proceeding any further--fish still clutched, a light sway of his tail, and a second given to catch his breath.
