Another Day

Kotori give a slight shake of his head, “we were all kids, barely out of our dens.  Hardly a thing expected to be remembered.” The horned wolf hadn’t even been sure if she was the pup from way back then, nor did he remember much of her versus any other of the siblings from back then.  

Her explanation of a lot having happened suggested a less-than-normal life growing up and Kotori imagined he could guess at least some of it.  The last few years had some crazy times for everyone.  It was possible that was it or that matters besides the magical disasters that had swept the land.  She didn’t cite examples and so Kotori wasn’t going to poke at it.  Sometimes things that happened were bad enough that talking was the last thing one would want to do after all.

“yes, I imagine being a parent can keep one hopping.”  Kotori could only imagine how much he’d kept dad on his toes as a boy.  Along with that, he imagined little Aia in Valta.  The tiny pup had Indy and Asla but Kotori had enjoyed spending time with her on occasion.  She wasn’t a handful in any way but she was a reminder of how much there was for children to learn.  “I bet Artorias and Briar would enjoy you taking their kids off on some grand ventures occasionally so they can rest in fact,” the mention said with a slight chuckle.  Some wolves were meant to deal with kids and some weren’t of course.  Heck, a year ago Kotori would have been horrible as a pup sitter.  Heck, he had been awful in regard to kids.

Kotori grinned, a few teeth showing by the size of the smile, “as you said, no to kids but yes, I do have my own pack, Valta.  I just recently claimed the rapids in boreas along with the sunset falls. It’s a pretty bit of land.  You’re welcome to come to see it if you ever like, family always is.” The young alpha was still quite proud of having started his own pack and happy to show it off.
