The beginning after the end

Áskell cocked his head to the side at the other boy's curious answer to his question. Firstly, the boy named two women he was sure weren't starting a family together and secondly he didn't seem confident in his answer, adding a tentative 'maybe' to his answer. "Hmm, not sure about Recluse, but Deathbelle makes sense." She had had a number of litters, often with males that seemed to disappear right after. It was likely this was litter number… what, three? "Guess that makes us cousins!"

Veigar didn't seem to sure on activities but soon mentioned chasing bugs or rats in the field. "Sounds good to me, rats would be great." He started to head toward the field, glancing back to see if the other boy was following.
