dragon pups

The tiny princess had not yet been out of the den for very long, she didn’t know any faces yet, but when the ivory pelted man introduced himself her grin brightened and she leaned on him a little heavier. She didn’t forget Plague’s name, her mother taught them the names of their relatives but Ike hadn’t met many of them yet. The tiny child sat up proudly as he asked her for her name, like her father and mother taught her. ”Princess Kiyohime Shuriken Oritsu Abraxas.” She stumbled only slightly, her pride became evident in her huge grin. Ike hadn’t said her full name without tripping over syllables, and this time had been the best one yet.

”Don’t tell Otou-san, but I like just being called Ike.” She told her uncle sneakily as she relaxed again against him and back into the plush furs. Already the puppy enjoyed Plague’s presence, he was attentive and sweet. She liked his green eyes a lot too. His attention was obviously on her as he questioned her good naturedly, asking about her likes and offering up some examples.

”Hmm…” She started thoughtfully, ”I like all of that,” Ike went with generically. ”But mostly wrestling with Oki, or! or! having princess lessons with Baba and Ikigai.” Her little silver and white marked tail wagged at her rear end. Now that she thought about it her markings were similar to Plague, but opposite. She was mostly dark with white, while he was while with some darkness.
