hello it is i, the bestest of big bros and most annoying of sons

The young starry prince hadn’t expected for the big brute to tell them he was actually their brother. He didn’t have near the decorum for all of that. Maybe it was why he didn’t stay in Ashen anymore though. He wasn’t royal enough to stay and be a prince here. Ren would have to remember that and keep to his best behavior lest he wanted to be kicked out like ‘bestest’ brother Oki. By process of elimination that was who this was. If he wasn’t lying of course.

Ren was already lifting his lip again to snarl when Oki began to make his threat. He was going to throw them into the lake. The young boy was spry and swift on his paws as the big lug started to move he sprang away with Rebel as she called out to him. Renegade was tempted to give Oki one more parting blow but he couldn’t risk being caught and thrown into the water. What would mother think? He’d be in big trouble for going into the lake.

He didn’t even take a moment to think about sprinting off with Rebel into the underbrush. They had spent their entire (short) lives learning the landscape here and the puppies knew exactly where to hide and how to get away. He followed his nimble sister into the hollow of an ancient tree. He stuffed himself inside behind Rebel, careful to stifle his giggles that threatened to pop out.
