'Cause my love is mine, all mine

Revenant hadn't exactly been expecting to be stepping back into a brotherly role when he had come back to Ashen to visit his mother and father, but after discovering the new surprises they had for him and his mother's pleading look for him to stay around for a while, the young brute relented. And so he had become a brother again—not just a brother, but a big brother. Responsibilities and all and such... ugh, what a wonderful surprise... Still, as the litter of nine was still very little, there wasn't much trouble they could get into just yet. They mostly toddled about, sometimes tumbling over each other, sometimes trying to scrap in the way babies could attempt to be violent, but mostly just existing. Gods, was this what he and his brothers were like when they were little?

While trying to do the whole bonding thing with the little chubby nuggets, Revenant noticed one of the pups wandering out of the den on her own. This wasn't a problem exactly, not since they were old enough to explore Ashen on their own now at least, but knowing how overprotective Aliana was of them, Rev decided that he'd rather not have anything bad happening to the kid on his conscience—at least not if he could be responsible for it. Following behind the girl—which one was this one again? There were so damn many...—Revenant watched as she wandered south from their rocky home towards the massive lake at the heart of Ashen. Spring had brought about the thaw of the snow and ice, revealing fresh buds of flowers poking out to greet the sun. He watched as Estie went to sniff a few, sneezed, and then smashed them down with a grumpy pout on her lips. Her temper tantrum earned her a hearty laugh from her big brother, shooting a toothy grin at the violent little munchkin. "Better watch out, we've got a badass over here!" he teased her. Gods, they were such ridiculous little things, weren't they?
