When Autumn Falls
Castiel frowned as Fable said that his mother wasn’t around. He decided not to say anything about that yet, letting the little one keep talking. His innocence melted Cas’ heart. Such a sweet child he was… Castiel decided to humor him. “Snow… snow is one of the most beautiful and coldest things… it can be harsh, yet in it’s own way it can bring happiness. You’ll see it this winter… I promise.” Cas reached out, touching a little forepaw oh so gently. “Looks like you’ve got some snow in you too. See all that white?” His golden eyes were shining happily. It was working with children, and the younger wolves of Celestial, that Cas truly felt at peace. Perhaps that was his calling?
“But to answer your question yes, if my mother was snow then I too am snow.” He blew a bit of air towards the younger wolf. “…and don’t worry about your ma, alright? She’s an important lady. She’s trying to make sure my sister and her mate get better. She has an important journey right now, but she’ll be back. I’m sure of that. When she is she’ll shower you with so much love you won’t know what to do!” Cas’ tag had begun to wag, especially when the young one asked if they could do both.
“Of course! We don’t need to do it all today either. If you want I can help you get strong, sir Fable! You’ll become the best fighter and hunter in Celestial!” At the mention of Kalliope his gaze softened, chuckling softly. “Kalliope is a bit of snow, yes, but she is also honey… sweet to be around and so very, very warm. I’ll call her here so you can meet her, okay?” Castiel paused. “But there is something very important you need to know about her, okay? She can’t see like you and I can… to her it’s like her eyes are always closed, even when they’re not. She’ll be able to find us by our voices.” Castiel grinned. “Just wait until you meet her Fable. Maybe she’ll even be able to teach you about plants if you want.” With that Cas tilted his head back, calling for his friend. "Speak" |
