Father son discussion?

The Warlord guffed and thwacked his son’s around the head gently. “You’ll be struggling to keep up with me and begging for mercy” he bantered lightly back. He settled back on his hunches as his son began to get into the meat of it. “Good, go on” he prompted.

He was more than the reckless, but brave kid the Warlord had loved to tickle. That was still in there, inside of him, of course. But it had grown, and evolved. He was becoming a productive member of the pack.

“You’ve made your point” he laughed softly. “I’ll take you on a hunt” he promised. “Sounds like you’ve been making good use of yourself. I’m proud”
