Grow New Roots

Sometimes you just had to walk.

With so many new pups added to the family, the former King of Fenmyre had been a very busy man. Chimera loved his children. He doted on them. So of course he was a very paws-on father, taking up as much of the responsibility as he could. With such a large litter, it had taken it's toll on Aliana, and so he had been caring for her as well, nitpicking and making sure that she was resting while he cleaned and entertained their children. Very housewifey of him, but his pride allowed it for the love of his wife and their brood.

Dalila had agreed to stay with Aliana while Chimera took a much needed breather. The man wasn't used to staying in one place and he couldn't exactly take a giant pile of puppies with him everywhere. With his queens babysitting together, the dual-toned man set off out of Ashen territory to stretch his legs and just walk.

It hadn't been raining when he left pack lands, but it surely was raining now. Spring though it was, the rain was cold and bit into the man's flesh. Soon he was waterlogged and slightly grumpy. Thankfully he knew where he was and so he made his way towards the cave system that would offer shelter until the rain passed.

As he moved, Chimera caught sight of a small, miserable looking man. The smaller brute was eyeing the cave that Chi was making his way towards as though wondering if he should enter. Age and children had made the shark-toothed giant kinder and so, as he moved past the wolf, he spoke. "Best get out of the rain." Chimera continued on, head lowered against the downpour as he passed into the mouth of the cavern. Whether the other man joined him or not was yet to be seen.

Once inside, Chimera shook the water from his black and white coat, the fur sticking out in all directions like spikes. He really had been soaked through. With a grumble, the man began moving about the open space, inspecting for predator scents or anything else that might be interesting information. There were tunnels that broke off in different directions, but he decided that the entry cavern should be safe enough for the time being. With his inspection done, Chi moved back towards the entrance and the muted light that it provided before settling down on a dry patch of stone. Not that it would be dry for very long with a massive, wet wolf on top of it.
