Don't grow up too fast

Ulric smiled and gave her a pleased nod when she agreed to be careful. He didn't like that she felt like she had to be limited by her physical condition like this, but it was incredibly realistic of her and he was proud of her for acknowledging it. "Good," he agreed, leaning down to gently tap the top of her head with his nose. "You're going to make a great mother one day... but you have so much life ahead of you, there's no need to rush into it now." He knew there was still quite a while to go before she would even be fully grown and able to have her first heat, but... he'd rather be safe than sorry. Crazier things had happened and the last thing he wanted was her becoming a young mother before she was ready or putting her body through strain that it wouldn't be able to handle. She had grown by leaps and bounds over the last couple of seasons, but he still wasn't sure how well her recovering body would handle something as intense as a pregnancy.

His expression grew a little more serious as he added, "If Romulus ever makes you uncomfortable or pushing you into something you don't want, promise you'll tell me, okay? Its one thing if its something you really want, but let it be on your terms. You will always have my support and protection, no matter what." He gave her another smile as he looked down at her lovingly. He was beginning to accept that she was growing up and that she was nearly an adult in her own right, but in his heart she was still his little girl and he was convinced she always would be. "I'm really proud of you, Lil," he mentioned, his tail wagging gently and brushing through the grass. "You've been through so much and you're doing so well... It just makes me really happy to see you like this."
