Woop woop that's the sound of da police

Rhyme felt a bit like a failure as Odysseus spoke of his son and the route he would take to get him back on track. The slate alpha tried not to think about what they might be forced to do if none of this worked out. Their second seemed to have put much thought into his words, and for that Rhyme was thankful. He was still trying to come to grips with what Noir had done.

For too long now he’d known he didn’t spend enough time with any of the pups, but now Noir needed to become more of a priority. Of course it wouldn’t be fun and games either. The boy’s feet would likely feel like they were falling off by the time they finished with him. How long was a while though? The rest of the season, the next season? Until he was two? They could start with the rest of the season and see how he might be progressing. Then they could go from there. It was not as harsh as it could have been, and he was lucky he was young. Rhyme shook himself internally, they didn’t need another emergency on their hands.

”I agree, you should continue to mentor him. Especially after the advice you’ve given after I have faltered in a solution.” He tried not to place too much doubt upon himself. They could only change the future not the past. ”It’s probably the best option as punishment, if we rely on anything more hash he will start to resent us.” He didn’t let his mind wander too far towards the direction they might be forced to take if their efforts had little effect.

”Do you want to keep Theory and Verse with you for a few weeks?” He knew Shaye’s den was large, but with two more pups? Being alone with Noir at night might help as well though, being able to be close to the boy for many hours without any of his siblings present. His time with Poem would be cut down, but he could continue his lessons with her while Noir was paired with Shaye or Ody. ”Or would you like him to den with you, Odysseus?” Rhyme was afraid he might end up being too easy on his son. He’d already allowed his behavior to manifest so violently, could he be trusted so heavily with Noir’s rehabilitation?
