Meeting the children

He had been nearby when the call from his mother rang out into the sky. As of late, he had been seeing less and less of Recluse which secretly bothered the pup. They all knew he held a special attachment to her, but he also knew his boundaries. If she wasn't within the den shared with him and his littermates, he attempted to give her space. Being the head lady in charge meant being busy all the time. Hopefully, the reason for her call would explain the lack of time they'd been able to spend with her.

Looking up from the rat he had been dangling over his new pets, his ruby eyes flitted over to where her personal den was. Curious, the mottled ivory and pink pup flung the poor rodent toward his dwarf caimans before standing up with a shake of his fur. Walking away from the reptilians that watched him with matching ruby eyes, the burly pup made his way over to where Recluse stood waiting. "Mother," Ghoul's voice held an endearing and curious note as he approached with a childish smile on his lips. Quickly brushing his nose against her cheek in greeting, he moved away to lay near her left side and wait for the rest to show up.
