we are a family

Before long the children began to amble up, first a girl with tusks, and then.... another boy with tusks, and finally one without. Well, if he'd been doubting their lineage at all all of his worries were suddenly cast aside, replaced with a bright grin. He already had an idea who they were, given that he'd offered names for them to Justice. It was the least he could do as their dad, after all. The girl must be Kaija, the tusked boy Arne, and the silent one, Fidelias. Kai found his tail wagging rapidly behind him. He nodded enthusiastically at Kaija's question, but Arne looked more wary, and Fidelias.. well, even more so. They sure looked like both him and Justice; there was no mistaking that. But he wasn't quite sure how to convince them of who he was if they seemed uncertain. "Well... hey guys!" He spoke up after a moment, as friendly as possible. His experience with kids was painfully limited and just because they were his, well... it didn't make it magically less difficult. "I'm your dad. I figured I'd come introduce myself. I know I don't live in Valhalla with your mom and you, but I wanted you to all know I want to be part of your lives and..."

Was this too serious for kids? They were so young; maybe he needed to not get too deep with it. Kai shrugged, loosening his shoulders which were tenser than he'd realized. "You can come find me anytime. Call and I'll come. We can hang out, or go on adventures, or I can teach you to hunt or... anything at all!" Honestly, he'd been raised to be independent but family was always important. Some of his fondest memories were of exploring with his father as a youngster, and he wanted to get to know his kids as much as possible and extend the same opportunity to them, even if it took them all awhile to warm up to him, he'd just keep trying.
