Hey, buddy

Being confined to the den had been hard, but Alfred understood why his father had punished him. So he lay there dutifully, not wanting to stress his father further by disobeying him, and hardly moved from the den save to do well, necessary things such as the bathroom or get a drink. But other than that he’d been a good boy! Alfred watched the sky outside longingly, wanting to be out there with his brother and sisters and having fun once more. But that wasn’t an option right now; he was grounded.

Hearing his father’s voice Alfred would jump to his paws. He bolted out of the den, looking up at his dad with shining blue eyes. “R-really!?” The days had felt like an eternity. But he was glad he’d be able to at least wander around Fiori lands again. He looked down at the ground, ears lowering as he spoke in a quiet tone. “I’m sorry I couldn’t find mom...”
