Who's the dad?
Asla

Things felt right for this moment. Naiche and Asla sharing the den with their kids. Technicalities of one being his weren’t important at the moment. Things were less alright as Asla started sharing her story. Naiche ears flicked back and he inwardly cursed himself for having not been there. The fact he didn’t know she had been out at the time or that she was going to have birth at the time weren’t important matters. The part that mattered to Naiche was she had been in a bad spot and Naiche hadn’t been there to help. Naiche bit back any comments he might have made in response to her misadventure for the moment as none of his first replies would have probably been well received. He didn’t want to fight with her, not right now. She was hungry? Naiche nodded quickly at the request. It was finally a thing he could do for her. Naiche hadn’t been able to offer her comfort from any emotional troubles which seemed to occasionally crop up on her. He hadn’t been able to take on the royal of guarding over her while she was pregnant. So finally he could do something. Naiche gave a small firm nod, “Sure.” Now that they weren’t in an eternal winter it wouldn’t be too hard to find a meal. Naiche got up to his feet with the intent to leave but stopped to look again at Asla and the pups. Lowering his head Naiche gingerly licked the top of the boy's head. Who would have thought he’d be a dad? Looking at a pup wouldn’t bring Asla dinner. “I’ll be back in just a bit,” Naiche promised turning to go then glanced back, “May the moon and stars help us if the kids are as talented at finding trouble as you are,” a mild hint of amusement. "Naiche"
