Gargoyle had pulled himself together, and, other than a minor concussion, and probably a couple of bone bruises to his skull, he was just fine. Didn't really matter. Not like anything could have kept him from getting to his destination today. He moved back into a run, this one a little more mechanical and stilted as he ignored the ringing in his tattered ears. Thank the heavens that his brother and Awaken hadn't been around to see that. Either of them would've used it as amo for the rest of his natural born years. Of course, even as he thought that he felt bad for it. Rogue and Mahniyah had both left to seek new homes after the news of the volcano. In his mind, Gargoyle knew it had nothing to do with his role - or lack there of - of a leader, but it had been hard at first to block out the voices that had told him he was a failure. That wasn't weighing on his mind though, today. This was a new chapter starting. New lives. New chances. New children to play with and raise and teach and watch turn into adults. There was no way he was keeping himself from that a second longer than was needed. Gargoyle steadily picked up speed as he willed his head to clear, and before long he had reached the den. The scents of birth and milk and puppy fur were quite strong - over powering - and for a moment, the male found he hesitated. Too excited and too filled with wonder to even poke his head in the doorway. Eventually though, as Mercianne's voiceings of congratulations and a healthy birth came, the male took a deep breath, swallowed, and stepped in to the large den that he had helped excavate. What greeted his eyes were three of the most adorable things he had ever seen. He stepped forward, having to bend his head low and forward. It seemed to take an hour just to cross the little earthen room, but in a moment he was beside his mate, staring down at the three little bundles of fur that suckled at her belly. Familiar feelings warmed up inside of him. He felt he could just melt into a fur rug and snuggle them all up - but at the same time he was ready to take on a polar boar to protect them. His family had just gotten a little bit larger. Finally he managed to pull his eyes away from the little miracles, and look over to his mate. There was nothing cold or stoney or withdrawn from his face. Even a wolf like him couldn't help but be expressive at such a moment. Pure love raditated from his yellow eyes as he stepped more parallel with his beautiful wife and began to gently paint her white muzzle with his kisses. It was an intimate gesture they usually would've reserved for their time alone, but Gargoyle didn't seem to care then that two other grown packmates were around - or even that one of them was his daughter. He just cared about Ocena, and what a wonder she was. Eventually thought he pulled back and laid down so that he was more perpendicular, and he see the pups there before him. "Thank you," he said quietly to the healer and the healer in training. Other than that, he could find no words to describe the moment. (ooc: ocena and i both decided we'd just be going with the three pups) |
