Butterfly Kisses

The little girl was excited, so very excited that moment she woke up from her slumber. Her mother and siblings were still sleeping, little things that were curled up next to the rainbow wolfess. They were all so beautiful, so colorful, but she was dull. Katie didn't like how she didn't bear the colors of the sky on her coat like her mommy. Her mother had said that it was because her grandfather had a beautiful brown coat, just like hers. Her mommy had whispered that brown was her favorite color, though it was clear that Marina loved all of her children immensely. There was no true favoritism... she'd do anything for any of them in a heartbeat.

Katie would look at her family as they slept, wondering why it was her daddy didn't stay with them. Her ears would twitch as she got an idea. If daddy wasn't here then maybe she could go play with him at his den! The little girl would let a smile onto her face, and slowly she'd slip from the den.

Daddy's den wasn't too far away. Mommy said that she had been kept close so that he could see them whenever he wanted, which was good enough for the little girl. Sure it was farther for her little puppy legs, but a strong sense of smell and a good sense of direction already lead her to her father's den. Without any hesitation or word of warning, as was the way with most pups, she'd slip into the den and snuggle up to her father's face.

"Daddy, daddy~" The little one would whine softly, setting her paws up on Nako's muzzle. "Pwease pwease pwease!" Her tail would wag innocently behind her, her green gaze expectantly upon his face for when he opened his eyes.
