the golden rule

Azure raced after him, demanding an apology, and Sirius looked down at him in bewilderment and anger. Dammit, he didn't want to stay here well he was feeling such rage. He needed to walk it off, beat up some tigers or something. He didn't want to take it out on his kids for no reason other than they frustrated him. Teaching them a lesson was one thing, abusing them was a line he could never cross.

And yet, Azure barred him, and for that he would receive teeth, as Sirius bared his impressive fangs, just a touch. "No, Azure. Your sister broke the rules after I carefully explained them to her. She crossed the border when I told her that would put her at the mercy of others. I did not hurt her, but I showed her how easy it would be for others to. No. You, I hurt, for what you did, for it was so much worse, and you do not fear me. If Asla fears me for the punishments she might receive in life, if I must have her hate me for this, then that is a burden I will have no choice but to bear. I will keep you safe, for you are mine, and of my heart. Azure. I will not apologize for ensuring her safety." his voice was turning into a growl again, he needed to leave.

He moved to step around Aure, when Asla came running towards him, wrapping her tiny body about his paw. Something in Sirius broke, whatever kept his rage in place, as he felt it flood away more easily than he ever had before. He near-abouts melted with relief, as he wrapped a paw about her, and dragged her in close. “My little Star-flower” he murmured, kissing the top of her head. Azure, who he had almost stepped around, was in grabbing distance, and Sirius grabbed the boy, and dragged him into his embrace as well, kissing his head. “I love the both of you, I love you more than I can ever say.”
