He was sleeping in a makeshift den just far enough from the main family home that his nightmares wouldn’t wake anybody. He was lounging in the entrance, taking a break from patrols when a voice called out for him. It was a short distance away, but recognising the voice he got his paws. “Over here Asla” he called out to his oldest daughter.

He stretched, feeling the slight twinges of his healing body, before stepping out to meet her. It was a short walk to Asla, and as he approached he saw a hint of trepidation on her face. With… the amount of blows the Fatalis family seemed to be receiving lately, it wouldn’t surprise him if she had bad news.

In preparation for such a thing, he stopped right into her personal space and drew her into a hug. Breathing in the scent of her as he wrapped his chin around her shoulder. Mine. He thought softly.
