On love, on life
for his kids!

Corvus had always been happy for what he'd been given in life; he knew things could always be worse and as he got older he found himself especially thankfully for what he had. But having children had somehow made his world even brighter, in ways he couldn't even fathom until it'd happened. In his older age he often found himself wanting to sleep in and enjoy his relaxation, but now? He had trouble doing nothing when there was so much to do with his children. He ignored the typical morning aches and pains and started to stir, happy when little Magpie roused from sleep... or pretend sleep, it seemed, judging by how quickly she jumped up.
He was grinning nearly ear to ear as she spoke, glad to spend some time with her before the rest of the pups woke up. "C'mon, let's go then!" He whispered back. No need to wake up the rest of the family, not that he wouldn't be thrilled with a whole family outing all the same. Carefully untangling himself from a pup who had rolled over into him as he tried to move, seeking his warmth, he snuck away from the den with Magpie presumably following.
Once they were out of the den and out of earshot of the rest of the family he'd speak again. "Where do you want to go? We can go anywhere," he stressed, gently nuzzling the top of her head. Of course there were some places - quite a lot of places, really - that were off-limits but Magpie's world was small. Even leaving the packlands at this point would be a great adventure to her, so he wasn't worried about disappointing her at all, though he was interested in what she would find most exciting to do.
