get your mit, we're playing catch, dammit

His dad's affection made Deus' heart feel near to bursting, he nodded his very enthusiastic agreement directly up and down Pyrrhic's leg, his ears flapping madly with the motion. Having the schedule put into his little paws was a wild notion and opened up countless opportunities for a wicked day of fun, Deus knew already that he'd struggle to decide. Being as he was still thinking anyways, there was no rush to release Pyrrhic's leg and be the first out of the quiet den. Happy to hold onto his dad all day long, he gave a soft thoughtful hum so the Abraxas man would know he was carefully considering.

What sort of adventure was special enough for Deus to share with his father? Hunting or fighting lessons he could request from a half a dozen Aerie members, and chasing woodland creatures was something he could drag Danta along with surely. Any Abraxas could teach him more on their gods, and his mother fit in more than enough lessons on herbs and plants and the world around him - like why he shouldn't crush bees.

After a moment of thought, he had it. He arched his head up to meet his dad's ear, his tail beginning to thump once more as he whispered his request. "Can you help me pull a prank on mom?" Stealthily he took a glance over his shoulder, ensuring that Riva was in fact still asleep.
