The children’s new freedom left little time for Sirius, outside of ensuring their safety. They were troublesome little creatures, and well he never moved to prohibit them from one act or another, he did ensure he was around to keep an eye on them. His favourite spot was the large flat stone just a short way down the ravine, and across the water from the dens. He could see the entrance to Deathbelles palace from here, and see when any pups decided to cause havoc. He yawned widely, elongated fangs stretched outwards, before shaking his head, feeling the sleepiness of short nights and concerns that weighed on him. He would have to be careful not to fall into slumber, and miss the rise of the kidlets when they started their days adventures. "Speech"

Pestilence yawned and stretched, worming her way out of the puppy bundle early in the day and taking careful quiet steps out of their room and into the main area of the den. She wanted to get a head start, to find something fun and exciting to do with her day that wasn't a sermon or working on her sigil. The young princess had begun to become accustomed to Sirius' post outside their door and heavily doubted that he would not be there again this morning. She'd caught the bodyguard playing with and teaching her siblings, but today she'd be first and claim him for the entirety of the day. Pesto wanted to sneak up on him, but that wasn't easy. She thought carefully on what to do. Sirius had gifted each of the pups blankets before they were born, and Pesto's was just big enough to cover her entire body with. The pup grabbed it off the floor and moved to drape it over her body so just her nose and eyes were sticking out. Then she huddled low to the floor, crawling out past the hide door and towards the boulder where Sirius lay. She was completely covered and therefore 100% invisible, this Pestilence was convinced of. She moved as close as she could to him, and once she'd gotten within range she'd fly out from beneath the blanket with a loud battle cry to try and bite upon his toes. "Speech" "Thinking" "You."
