Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!
08-25-2013, 01:28 PM
The morning sun rose in all it's hazy pink glory, shedding a meager portion of light upon the dark beaches and their stone cliffs. Only a stray ray or two made it into the den with Ocena and Gargoyle had claimed as their own. The massive male, though usually a light sleeper, had had a rough night. Usually he preferred to stay wrapped around his mate and their pups, but when he was uneasy he tried to give a little space to ensure that no one got squished in the night. Not that he had too worry too much - his children were quickly growing, all looking to be almost as large as he was himself. And they were such beautiful things. Galahad, with his mother's coat and his grandfather's eyes. Odette with the perfect Clash family markings and the rare eye colors of her mother. And then Oracle. Gargoyle had been stunned as he saw that her coat was refusing to change from it's dark shades. She was a throwback to the doberman blood than was 1/4 of Gargoyle's pedigree, and 1/8 of theirs. Fierce little things they would all be in time. Perfect additions whom the father knew their older siblings would love. The male drifted in and out of a fitful slumber, every so often straining a hind paw or giving a twitch of his tattered ear. At least he grew still. But it was not because of sleep. Gargoyle had heard the sounds of movement upon the earthen floor. He was awake. But the yellow, lizard-like eyes remained closed, still feigning slumber to the rest of the world. He was listening, and trying not to grin, as he heard the mumbling of his pups. His darling Odette was apparently up to something - encouraged as ever by her sister. Meanwhile Galahad was left somewhere in the dark. Gargoyle did not like them thinking they could rush off on their own, but neither did he want to curb their bonding time. He would remain perfectly alert.... but perfectly unnoticed. |
