There had been several things Naiche had thought up as possibilities for what Sirius had to tell him. Babysitting was indeed not on the list. Weren’t the kids a good year of age by now? Couldn’t they take care of themselves? There was a hint of surprise on his features but Naiche was in his formal mode which helped hide the fullness of his shock. Naiche reminded himself that his parents had been overprotective also and it wasn’t till alone that he had learned the need to take care of himself and harden his heart on loss. Maybe if he had stayed naïve a yearling would still seem puppyish in his eyes also. Not that any of this mattered. What Sirius wanted is what Sirius got in regards to Naiche's duties. “Of course.” Not that the kids all kept close together and certainly Sirius wasn’t hovering over them every moment of the day. Naiche would just have to let all the kids know to call on him if they needed anything whether comfort or protection. Comforting? That was going to be awkward. Naiche imagined he’d be a horrible father if he ever had pups. At least these kids were a year old so more mature than when first exploring. Wait until he told Asla his assignment for a day was going to be pup sitting and to offer comfort where needed. That idea was the richest and if she laughed he wouldn’t blame her. “I’ll make sure to stay where I can get to any of them fast if they call.” Not like Sirius expected Naiche to be multiple places at once. “and if they need to talk I can listen.” That much at least he could do. Really Naiche was fine at listening, it just meant staying quiet and letting the other wolf talk. “Or hugs, whatever they need.” Hell hath no fury like an angry father if something happened to his kids? Not when the daddy was Sirius. |
