All I Wanted

As someone who'd come from a small family, he'd always been grateful for his siblings being around - he hoped his children felt the same. Even more family around to love and support seemed like a good thing in his eyes, and he hoped his pups all grew up to think the same thing, rather than feel crowded and overwhelmed. Of course worrying about his children came naturally to him, even more so now that they were old enough to begin exploring the world. Keeping a close eye on all six would only grow increasingly more difficult as they got older, but for now he'd savor how closely they seemed to cling to he and Twig.
Her giggle earned a soft chuckle of his own. He'd bask in their innocence and naivety as long as he could. Somehow they made his world seem so much brighter - brighter than he ever thought the world could be. It was a beautiful summer day too, the perfect sort of day to go hunting, as Rye suggested. The sun was bright overhead, beating down hard on their coats, but there was a light breeze that made the day feel refreshing rather than too hot. "Hunting sounds like a good idea," he agreed. Rye wasn't quite old enough to go hunting anything much bigger than her head yet but something small would be a good start.
Corvus mused over it as they walked together, moving slow so Rye's little legs could keep up with him without too much effort. He remembered sniffing out quite a few rodent nests in the Orchard and figured that might be a good learning experience for his daughter. "I bet if we look around these bushes we'll be able to find something that smells yummy," he explained, slowly as they neared a small patch of bushes nearby. He lowered his head as they drew closer, sniffing out the area carefully.
