good morning world!

Rhyme moved closer to Samara, having quietly ignored the water comment himself. He tried not to dwell on the near disaster earlier. Hopefully moments like those would be further quelled by the addition of their raven friends. Each pup took their own place, and like magic it seemed the chicks were paired with their puppies. Some were more bold than others, Haiku and his bird had not touched at all where Ruin and Ru were quick to make their claim.

He felt a surge of pride when Sen encouraged his tiny sister into embracing the relationship. As the kids made their introductions Rhyme looked curiously to the boy as he offered up his name for his companion. Rhyme chuckled amusedly and shook his head before finding himself beaming down at Samara. She’d saved his life and turned him around completely. She’d given him a gift he hadn’t known he needed so desperately. Now he couldn’t imagine not having her beside him and their wonderful children in the world with them.

”Alright, who’s ready for breakfast?” He asked after placing a kiss on Samara’s cheek. Rhyme stood up and prepared to lead the family towards the common area where their meal was waiting on them. The puppies would enjoy their first meal with their new friends.
