I feel it coming

Leo didn't have too much time to wait for his daughter to appear. His ears twitched at the sound of paw steps and his glanced back with a smile to see her walking toward him. She always seemed to have a smile on her face, but part of him suspected that she had inherited his way of maintaining a smile despite his inner worries. That was something he had perfected over the years. He'd like to hope that his children would come to him if they had any serious concerns, but then again he still struggled with making himself go and talk things out with his own mother if something was wrong. He tried not to dwell on it though as Heather sat next to him and asked him what he needed from her.

He smiled and leaned over to lovingly press his nose to her cheek for a moment. "I was just doing some thinking and thought I might want to talk about some of it with you," he explained. He glanced back out over the falls for a moment as he gathered his thoughts, realizing that with all his thinking he still hadn't come to a final conclusion. "I was thinking about how I'm going to choose an heir," he explained after a moment, glancing toward her. "As much as I don't want to accept it, you and your siblings are practically adults now. And I'm no spring chicken. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't starting to feel my age." He chuckled softly and looked out over the falls thoughtfully. "Being an alpha and defending a pack is hard work. Especially when you're doing it alone. I haven't had any bettas for a long time, not since your grandmother stepped down to Scholar. Part of that is my own fault I suppose for having such high expectations and waiting for someone to come forward that was interested in the roles, but the sentiment still stands."

He sighed softly and gave Heather a small smile. "Don't get me wrong, I still have plenty of good years left in me, but I want to have time to properly train one of you too." He didn't want to worry her at all with his stresses and age, he just wanted to explain himself a bit and how these thoughts came about. "I know we had talked about you being interested in being the heir before... And I've seen you really trying to take part in the pack and help. If you'll accept it, I think I would like for you to be heir once spring rolls around." He paused for a moment, looking at her curiously to see her reaction.
