Flutter in the wind

He had suspected something was going on between his father and the woman. He'd not been exposed to his father's romantic adventures before but he remembered the stories his father had told him of his past relationships. He was not ashamed, but rather found a sense of relief that his father had found himself again and that it didn't end with Abelinda. A small smile creased his youthful muzzle as his father announced her, up until he placed her among the royal family. He raised a single 'brow dot and looked to the rainbow woman once again. She seemed inviting enough, though of course there was reason for him to be skeptical of welcoming her into the family open hearted. The words that came from Marina himself offered him further relief from being forced to do just that, so the small smile returned on the boy's features as his eyes met the colorful woman's own.

He took a seat before them, his hefty weight devouring his back limbs as it rolled to his haunches while he relaxed. "Well, she certainly is a sight for sore eyes, Father. I'm happy that you've moved on with your life, you seem in better spirits these days. I am excited for our new pack, though I agree with Marina. If to be a part of our family is to be a royal in our new pack, than I do not think she is a royal. At least, not yet. What does Ash say about all this?"

He furrowed his 'brows with a look of concern and guilt, he didn't want to hurt his father's feelings in any way, but he needed to speak for his own feelings as well. "I just met her, I can't accept her as family.. though, I would enjoy getting to know her and anyone else who finds themselves in our new kingdom, father. Of course, I will go with you.. I would love to be your heir, though what of our standing with Ivalice? Is Avalon upset?" He'd been meaning to meet with the woman, but with prey as scarce at his was and his appetite insatiable, he'd been busy hunting through-out the majority of the season thus far. "And where will we go? The North won't sustain any more packs, it barely holds enough resource to sustain what it has." He was nervous, it was to be expected for him to be, but there was a growing feeling of excitement coursing through his veins.
