Even so, come

He'd nearly forgotten how tiny she was, or perhaps it was that he himself had grown a bit taller? It was hard to tell, but the boy loved how easily he could embrace the small woman by resting his neck around her's and sharing his immense body heat. The boy always seemed to be radiating wamrth, his layers of fat and thick fur holding it all right in. Now it was all for Ama to share in the cold autumn air!

The fish that had been suddenly kicked toward his direction stole his attention, his vivid gaze opening up wide as he watched the dead fish skid through the thin layer of snow at his feet. He yipped happily and moved to nuzzle Ama in appreciation, "You brought this for me? Thank you!" Never one to turn down food, the youth was torn between gobbling it up right then or saving it for later and enjoying his time with his friend. For now, his thick neck bent downward in an attempt to give it a savory lick to at least appreciate the taste for now. Fish had a strong taste, but he found that he adored the stronger tasting meats in life.

His eyes shimmered as he looked back up to her, a grin spreading across his inky lips as she asked about his scars. He turned his body slightly to show her his completely healed elbow wound, nearly completely covered by the surrounding fur. "Thanks to you, the wounds are all healed up! You are a gifted healer, Amalia. I really am lucky that you found me. Not quite a battle wound yet, I don't think. But I'm sure I'll get into some trouble soon enough and become riddled with battle scars to scare my sister with." He chuckled, obviously teasing while he scooted the fish closer to him with a heavy forepaw. "A lot has changed since you came around, Ama. My family is somehow.. closer. Aside from my one brother, but I don't think there is anything in our capabilities that could make Greed want to become closer to his family. He furrowed his 'brows, inwardly scolding himself for talking about Greed so he almost immediately changed the subject. "My father has plans to form a family pack and I know that all of us running it together will only make us closer. I don't think this would have ever happened if you hadn't asked what I wanted to be when I grow up, Ama. I can't thank you enough for the impact you've had on the Armada and Walker family."
