It's dangerous to go alone! Take this

He had been quietly working on gifts for each of his kids for months and months, sneaking bits of time here and there between his pack duties and still spending time with his children as well. Over the last several of weeks he had been forced to withdraw from him more than he'd like because of the additional responsibilities he took on as Aegis, but also because he was running out of time to finish their gifts and had to work over time to get them done. Ezra's had possibly taken the longest just because he had no idea what to get the boy, but with a bit of help from Artorias he finally had them all.

He carefully placed all the gifts into a pile in the atrium outside of the hallway that led to the rooms that he and his children called home and sat on his haunches beside them before lifting his muzzle to let out a quiet howl, calling his children to him. He knew that this first year had not been kind to them, but he hoped that perhaps this could be the beginning of a brighter second year of life for them and perhaps an encouragement from him to make use of his gifts in continuing to sharpen their skills. He waited eagerly for them to arrive, a small smile lingering on his muzzle. Secretly, he had a fifth gift stowed away in his room just incase Everlyse ever returned to him, but he wouldn't tell them that. It wasn't time to linger on the past. They had all done that more than enough. This would be his way to send them on into the future.
