"I will not play with sharp objects"

Rudyard had to pick up his pace to be sure he made it to the great hall in time.  The motley wolf had found an easy kill in a lost fawn earlier and wasn’t about to let the opportunity slip by.  A successful kill, and cleaning up his coat quickly he made his way into the grand hall.  His eyes searched out his family and these days there was a large number of family to look for.  Art and little Dusk were the most obvious to see but he swiftly spotted Fern near Mercury and three of his children.  Another scan about the room and he spotted Callie as well.  

Tika was also with the small group and Rudy made his way to them, a paw tap to each of his children affectionately and swiftly, a passing lick and playful tap of his nose at Fern's cheek before moving to sit next to his sister Tika.  His gaze was turned towards the front of the room but he bumped Tika’s shoulder gently with his own.  “How you doing Tika?  We don’t see each other nearly enough these days.” They’d spent plenty of time together as kids but both had grown up and had their own jobs and relationships to steal most of their attention and of course, Rudy now had a bunch of kids that took his time.  That didn’t mean he loved his sister any less.
