boy talk

Change was unavoidable, but maybe Oxide’s changes were for the better. Did he really want to turn into his uncle? Or was it better now that he… started a family, kind of. He never expected to be some kind of family man, but he adored Casper and Eris and would give anything to keep them healthy and happy. Even through Phantom’s loss he would try his hardest for the tiny Ademre and their son. Cas had a lot of wolves looking out for him, Ox had no doubt he’d grow into a strong boy. Sheltered from the horrible childhood his father went through.

Sota spoke about their differences and Oxide nodded. Along with their physical differences their cultures were practically from different planets. He’d never wish his upbringing on anyone. Ox was distracted from thoughts of the past as Sota mentioned the honor he would feel at being able to teach Casper his way of life. ”That would be very kind of you, Sota.” Ox offered with a lopsided smile and nudged the smaller wolf with his shoulder affectionately.

The Nightingale man sighed heavily and looked to his paws. ”Maybe we should be getting back. I’m sure Eris needs the support.” He didn’t like leaving her alone, especially now. ”Thank you for listening.” He offered abashedly, not used to being so humble.
