Always there when you call

After Tamsyn and Kane made it back to the castle after their battle with the murderous dire wolf and they had gotten Kane patched up and treated by Gwynevere, the night had been spent laying in the infirmary just like the day they met. They talked well into the night about the future, their children to be, and the lives they wanted for them. It was things they had talked about casually here and there like a far flung dream that they hadn't known if it would ever come to pass or not, but now all those dreams and 'what ifs' had become reality. The excited whispers back and forth made her look forward to this future with Kane and for this family that they would build together. It was still too early to tell how many pups they would have or anything of that sort, but they could at least start talking about how they wanted them to be raised.

What they decided on would be a pretty big change of pace, but it was one she was excited for. Kane had reignited this love for exploring and of nature for her so when he brought up wanting their children to be raised how he was with traveling and living in nature it was something that she could easily agree to. It did mean that she was going to have to clear these desires of hers with her son and find a middle ground between the two halves of her life. She had this new lease on life with Kane, a new chance at love and a second litter of children she never imagined she would get to have, but her home had been here in the castle for so long. She and Resin had built a life here and all of her older children were here. She could never abandon this. She needed a way to have both.

The next morning she left Kane still asleep in the infirmary, wanting him to get plenty of rest. He had taken the worst of the fight with his nemesis and would have a good bit of recovery to do. Luckily Gwynevere was a wonderful doctor and was taking good care of him so she had no doubt that he was in good paws. She walked through the corridors of the castle looking for Artorias, deciding it was better to talk to him about it sooner rather than later. She knew her son and his routine pretty well and just as she suspected she found him coming down the stairs to do his morning patrol. "Good morning," she told him as she reached up to give his cheek an affectionate kiss. "Do you have a minute to talk?"
