He frowned when she replied, but he wouldn't raise his voice nor yell at her. She was a pup, and despite her acting out and breakign the rules, she wasn't his child. But still, she was his niece. His brother's daughter. And he would do well to remember that, and so should she. "It all comes with living in a pack. There's rules, and there's boundaries. You share the lands with your packmates whether you like it or not." He watched her, preparing for a bad reaction from her, but it was true. Maybe she was just too young to understand or something. "Only rogues are the ones that don't have to listen to any rules and can go where they please. But you're not a rogue." He dropped down to her level, tucking his tail closer to him as he lied on his belly. The tag on his collar jingled slightly with the motion. Cloud's bi-colored gaze sought her own eyes as he tried to get her attention.
"Look, I know you miss your father. He misses you, too. You know? You just...have to be strong for him, alright? Going out of pack lands like this might get him into trouble..." He didn't know if that was true or not. If Leera or Shaye might use this as an excuse to keep them away longer. Hell, he wasn't even sure how long they would truly be staying away. The days felt like they were dragging on way too long, and despite his not having spent any time with his brother's kids, even he missed them. Hell, Abaven was stripping away his time and opportunity to get to know them, too...and it saddened him. If there was one thing that Cloud did right, it was being around family. He didn't have children of his own, and he didn't get the chance to spend time with Ty's first litter. But maybe he could do that now.
"Hey, how about we go do something, hm? You and me? I could teach you how to hunt, or whatever you want to do." He smiled and sought to nudge her cheek with his nose. "You just have to promise to be strong after I take you back. Both for yourself, and your father. Deal?" |
