Meet my mum

They had been on the edge of the Prairie, it wasn't far traveling to the Armada. Even as they left the prairie, the light snow layer had begun to melt and turn to sludge. His paws were muddy, and cold. He couldnt feel his nose, and yet the boy grinned. Delighted by the events of the day.

Even the Armada wasn't immune to the chill, but it felt somehow more warm and welcoming the the land outside it. It was like... coming home. Even if home wasn't always perfect, it was the only home he knew.

He stopped at the border, sticking close to his friend. He raised his head, opening his maw to call to his father and then... didn't. He paused, shuffling his feet for a moment, and blushed lightly. No, he didn't want to call dad. He might be the Warlord, but he wasnt his only parent, nor was he the only authority in the pack.
Boy wanted his mum.

"I'm going to call for my mum, the Queen"
He explained to Hikaru, and started again. Tilting his head back, wings ever so slightly loose at his back, as the dire wolf called for the Queen of the Armada.
