Moonspear the fire within

Vela vetoed the notion entirely, of course. She would, because he knew she liked all the attention for herself. He just gave her a quick side-eyed glance and tried not to roll his eyes too badly. Jarilo didn't find he agreed quite like that. Mostly he was overwhelmed at the whole thought of suddenly having new family. Little ones that needed a lot, or so they said, and already mama wasn't being very generous towards him most days so he feared this was about to get worse. Actually, there were other things he was worried about. He had a lot to find out.

"How soon?" he asked at his father, suddenly beginning there before this could move much beyond Vela's firm no—mostly since that was whatever to him and he had a bunch on his mind. "Will it be weird to meet them? Do you think there will be other brothers..??" he whispered in a rush. What a thought: other brothers! Maybe he was a little excited about that (even if less mama for him still hurt a bit). Not that more sisters were bad either. He had plenty.. and had lost a few lately.. His optimism about this hadn't quite wavered yet.
