Moonspear upon us all a little rain must fall

While he wanted to be hopeful, it was difficult right now--especially since she had a very valid point and such a thinking as that one his sister named seemed very in line for their father. As much as he hated to admit it, she probably wasn't wrong, and she had been closer to him than Jarilo anyway. His ears slicked back for the reluctant nod to follow. Probably true.. but you really think there's even any male out there he'd actually approve of? he tried to humor it a touch, but honestly, Jarilo always had the impression that Nikai and Dirge were just barely within what could be called Charon's good graces. Actual, entire approval was probably a stretch.

As for the rest, it was more of a relief than he had been prepared for to hear her agree on that much--though he didn't know what to say about two females trying to have puppies right now either. He was kind of rankled by the subject anyway, considering the nature of the tipping point that did his father in, and what had been such a point of contention for his dad even before. Er, maybe one day.. yeah, but I don't even know if I'd be any good at it, he scoffed lightly. Honestly yeah. I am in no rush. There's a lot of other steps to be done before that point anyway, and I barely know what I'm looking for anyway, He shook his head. It was even a lot to grasp having Hydra's litter here now, and that had only just happened. The thought of pups of his own at their age right now was enough to send panic down his neck--so obviously this Ostrega was in no position for it yet, despite his.. ability.

I think.. maybe that was a big part of why Dad's thing bothered me--the hurry, since he ended up with Mom being young himself? But she had waited.. so obviously I don't see the harm in it. Jarilo reasoned. They had both ended up in the same place in the end after all, as they had so gruesomely illustrated for the rest of the family.
