Anais was so happy as she accepted her mate's nuzzle and kiss, glad that he let both linger before finally drawing back to look at her again. There was clear amusement within his silver eyes as he spoke of the children - she half suspected he included Voltage in that description - and his presumption that they would be kept out of any severe trouble. The golden brown wolf chuckled too as she thought of it, able to picture the trio together getting into mischief. Of course, Voltage would likely choose only the safest sort of mischief for them to get into, but Anais had to suspect he would keep up some air of danger or secrecy just to keep the girls engaged. And it would work, she had every confidence in him.

Glacier turned his head away to admire the brilliant morning light, but the little hunter only continued to stare at him, her smile softening. I'm so lucky, she thought as he went on to mention what they could do with their newly acquired free time, only half listening. Going through all this trouble, just for me. A little airy sigh slipped from her muzzle as she stepped in closer to snuggle against his broad shoulder, leaning her body against his. "I'll take that walk now that I'm awake," she answered, her tone only slightly teasing his method of getting her up and here to join him. "I'd love to have my siblings there," she added, smiling brighter and wagging her tail as she considered what their reactions would be to the happy news. "I can't wait to tell them."
