Stone Circle Homesick

If you have time <3

Skáld had begun to find his role in the pack, caring for his newest siblings who grew more and more each day. Their mobility astounded him as they went from crawling to tottering around to full-on bounding alongside him- simply a smaller version of a wolf but capable nonetheless. As they grew, so did his responsibility and he became so swept up in taking care of them that he'd begun to haunt the threshold of Tauris and Figment less and less. 

He had yet to see the children, and that reality weighed on him. He felt guilty having both avoided them, and having not made the time to check in and see how Tauris was doing. He feared meeting the man who had claimed the place at Tauris' side, but felt relieved to have only ever seen him in passing. So far as Skáld could tell, Figment was being a dutiful father- constantly out on errand. It made him easier to avoid. 

He waited until he saw the man leave, before he approached @Tauris' keep, uttering a low, soft whine as a plea for an audience.
