No Mistakes, Just Happy Accidents

Indeed it did hurt. Motif's teeth were tiny daggers that held her firmly to his abused ear. He didn't let her dangle for long (because omg ouch!) and was relieved that she didn't react to his subconscious actions. She squirmed and tore at his ear before finally letting go and pulling away to look up at him. He beamed down at his offspring as he tried to let himself be at peace in the moment.

Motif didn't make that task difficult. With her tail wagging a mile a minute she bound at him again. This time instead of flashing teeth she nuzzled up under his chin affectionately. He smiled as she asked to adventure, though he wondered what her time frame might be.

"Of course, but not tonight. Speaking of, shouldn't you be asleep young lady?" He asked playfully, pulling her closer in to his chest as he did. He thought he saw Shaye from the den, was she keeping an eye on them or cuddling with Poem? He nuzzled his nose into Motif's warm cheek fur.
