remind me to find my own [ASHEN MEETING]

As much as Plague wanted to spend every moment of every day with his young children, after he received the news of their former Shogun’s abandonment he had thrown himself back into looking after the pack. He wanted Venom to feel as if things here were taken care of so that she could have the space to grieve and breathe for at least a moment. It was hard balancing being the father he wanted to be and still supporting his sister and their pack, but he was lucky to have Void and Rava beside him to more than fill in the gaps for their pups when he couldn’t be there.

He was just on his way back from a patrol when he heard Venom calling them for a meeting so he hurried forward to find her—with a bit of caution to make sure he didn’t trip himself. As the surprising crystal talons started to make their appearance he suddenly had a greater appreciation for his sweet Ike and how often she was tripped up on her own. It had certainly taken some adjustment and he still found himself tripped up on them from time to time.

He slowed as he neared the clearing, seeing that only Ike and Panic had arrived before him. He walked over to press his nose to each of their cheeks affectionately before he moved a short distance away to sit down as well. He briefly considered sitting on the opposite side of Venom, but he didn’t want to be presumptuous and also knew he’d have his own partners and children gathered around him shortly so he wanted to leave space for them when they arrived.
