we are a family

If Kaija noticed that their dad seemed uncertain, she made no sign of it. She twisted around to gauge Arne and Fidelias's reactions, who both seemed more cautious than her, especially Fidelias - which wasn't much of a surprise. He was always quieter and kept back a bit more than his siblings, so Kaija wasn't surprised, even if she wanted him to be excited too. This was great! They had a dad, and he was already telling them he could take them on adventures and teach them how to hunt and stuff. Now that sounded exciting! "Yeah, me too! I want to be a strong hunter!" Maybe if they could learn to hunt they could help feed their mom and the rest of the pack. That sounded super awesome to her. Her little tusked head bobbed up and down, clearly thrilled at the prospect. Now definitely sounded good, as Arne suggested. Their mom hadn't shown up to yell at them for leaving so Kaija could only assume they'd be okay to go spend some time with him. Somewhat uncertain, she glanced to Fidelias expectantly, hoping for some sign of approval.
