i like to keep my issues drawn; its always darkest before the dawn
Looks like Crusade didn't have to wait long. Seemed she already had someone intending on paying her a visit. She coiled up her neck, turning about to see the black form of Kairos came heading in at a high run. He was one of Keki's litter, making him Crusade's grandson. No ifs, ands, or buts. It didn't matter that Keki wasn't blood related. It didn't matter that Kairo's conception had been a wronging. Not to Crusade anyway. She was the wolf who'd once thought herself cursed to have no mate and no children, but now she had the worlds most handsome Arctic soldier for a husband and more pups than she could shake a stick at. As she, Ocena and Keki had all had their litters around the same time, they'd looked out for one another, and babysat whenever it was needed. Crusade was basically another momma to all of them, or at least that was how she felt. Sure, some of them were growing up and going out, but they were all still special to her.
Of course that didn't stop her from intending to spank Kairos's rear end for that 'silver alert' jibe. It was funny how different they all were. Orica was little miss perfect, Galileo was his father in miniature, Crusade's boys were all the quiet, wanderering type, and then Kairos here couldn't contain himself. His questions all came out in a rush, and at the end of them the old she-wolf could only chuckle. "My mistake, come 'ere then darlin'." She rolled onto her right side a little, inviting the boy in for a grandma hug.
Sure enough, tail wagging, the bow leaned in for a nuzzle. But no sooner had he gotten within range than Crusade's muzzle was snapping at his scruff and her good leg was attempting to wrap around his shoulders. "Silver Alert my eye, yah vill-yun! I raised you better than that!-" She wasn't really intending on hurting him of course - she was too injured herself to do so even if she wanted to, but unless the boy was quick on his feet, he'd get brought down and have his head thrashed around- maybe a little sand even kicked up in those lovely purple eyes. Crusade had a naughty side just like any other wolf, but she only showed it to the ones she loved. Family trait perhaps.
