Back to Back Party

"Talk" Walk

He couldn't believe his pups weren't...pups anymore. They were yearlings now, and he hadn't realized just how fast time had pased until today. They were attending their yearling party, and he wasn't sure how to feel about it. Let them drink and have fun, sure. But he hated the idea that they were getting older. Getting older only meant trouble. Loss of innocence. He wouldn't be able to protect them the older they got. When they started going their own ways in the world. But dammit, he'd still be there for them for as long as they wanted him to. He sat to watch as others gathered, drinking his own choice beverage as he felt it start to hit. Gaze roamed the handful that were here, spotting Aressen off in the shadows, Jack over the other way, other kids streaming in. He could see Diablo making his way slowly toward the party. His midnight and ruby child wasn't much for social gatherings, but he seemed to want to be a part of this just as much as the others.

Sitting back, he threw back his head and had another drink. For one night, he wanted to forget that his pups weren't pups anymore.
