Fort Ardent

Asmodeus tried to be strong at his uncle's words, even when he was told his father too would be participating in the fight. The gentle affection was relaxing and he leaned into Eligos' cheek before being sent on his way. Saren - a wolf he'd seen in passing but had not quite met yet - came along next, offering to play with him when he was done helping mom. "Okay." His sad reply came, though quickly the mood vanished and tail began to wag once more with anticipation. "I want to play... tag!" Deus decided after a minute, moving to rub up against his cousin. "You're gonna be 'it' first." The pup looked over at his sister, grinning. Hopefully she'd feel well enough to play, too!

Another thought crossed his mind and he moved to his mother, scratching at her leg with a paw for her attention. "Is dad gonna be okay?" He had spent most of Deus' young life in a sick bed, and the pup worried how Pyrrhic could possible do battle when some days he couldn't hardly play.
