walking a mile starts with the first step

He’d been napping, though he couldn’t say he ever slept too deeply, not being home and all. One charcoal black ear flicked at the murmurs and deep sapphire eyes slid open, sharpening quickly into alertness as he listened, ears perking as his head shifted, chin dragging the furs before his eyes spotted movement.

He studied the two pups, one tiny, the other very large. The boy stood out immediately. He was primarily a brilliant indigo purple with bright blue eyes. The beginnings of a mane seemed to be growing in, and the boy already had decent sized sabers growing… they were visible, at least. Both pups were very obviously Sirius’s kids.

Cairo’s trademark smile bloomed, tail gently tapping the furs as he shifted slightly to better welcome the visitors. The tiny girl looked grumpy; the boy anxious. Cai met the girl’s brilliant eyes, noting the teal that lay at the heart of her brown stripes. While not as eye-catching as her brother, the beauty was in the subtleties of her markings, and the brilliance of her eyes, even if they were currently cranky.

“Hello. How can I help you?” They weren’t young pups, and he doubted they needed any sort of pup-talk, so he greeted them as he might a grown wolf or one his age. He had no doubts they were as sharp as any adult, if more innocent than one.

His friendliness was genuine, ears perked as he waited to see what these two had in mind.
