I wanna be like you-u-u

After visiting with his boyfriend, Aureus was feeling much better. His injured paw was still sore, forcing him to walk with a limp but it was no longer bringing him to his knees when he stepped wrong. The day was lovely enough, clear and warm. He worked his way down into the ravine for some shade when frightened squeaks caught his attention. Hmmm… lunch? He stalked toward the cries when he saw one of his little nephews stalking a squirrel pinned beneath a branch. He grinned and nearly chuckled to himself at the sight. To think he was an uncle now. It had come as such a surprise to him when he learned his brother was having pups. He hadn't even been aware that Pyrrhic had found a woman of interest.

Well, it all worked out well for him. With a fresh generation no one could get on his case about adding to the Abraxas population. He figured he'd have a few good years yet before anyone started to wonder why he wasn't tending to his duties.
Aureus padded closer to the pup. "Nice find. Seems Abraxas is blessing you with an easy breakfast. I'm Aureus, one of your uncles. I don't think we've officially met."
