Meeting the children

Ghoul's fond expression would quickly dissipate at the arrival of his siblings and the man Ghoul knew was stealing their mother's heart. Meeting the man's quick gaze, Ghoul offered nothing in return at first. He would glance over at Mac with a brotherly smile and felt comfort knowing his favorite brother sat near him. When the other three arrived, his ruby eyes flitted over them a moment. It wasn't that he disliked his other siblings, he just hadn't spent as much time with them as he did with their mother or Mac. Vis was alright in his books, fun even, as they had had fun sparring and hunting together.

Before his thoughts could linger longer on his siblings, Recluse addressed them. Turning his attention to her, he waited with bated breath for the news she would share. At first, his fur bristled along his spine. Being his mother's shadow, he had already had an inkling of what was going on between them. But the information still didn't settle well with him. Who was this man to think he could just sweep her away from them and nestle into the family? His lips pursed into a thin line as he mulled over the information. What was he to think of the blue-coated man who had won their mother's heart?

Resolving to a feeling of indifference, his attention turned toward Eraithus. Leaning around Recluse to give the man a stern stare that clearly meant if you hurt her, you answer to me, he waited a few seconds before speaking. "I would like to go on a hunt with him before I decide if I like him or not," his words were for Recluse but his gaze never left Eraithus. In Ghoul's mind, if the male wasn't strong enough to take down prey, he surely wasn't strong enough for her.
