Only a matter of time

Kotori had just finished turning the latest bear skin into a new pelt.  The horned wolf was thinking it would be time to get a bigger den in a new location soon.  More pelts would be useful for whenever Ochi and he grew out their family after all.  He heard Crux howl and nodded in acknowledgment of the call.  Kotori took the pelt, passing by his den and setting it inside.  That done he made his way to where he found Crux waiting.

There was no disguising the family line, it was written clearly in the scar-like lines about the eyes.  Kotori hadn’t got that one particular feature but at least he had his pride and some Fatalis had missed out on that from what he’d seen.  Uh, it had been a long time since he’d seen the guy and he’d been a lot smaller then.  He really didn’t know anything about how he’d turn out.

Kotori offered a small nod to his younger brother, wondering how he had turned out. “Welcome brother, what brings you to Valta?” The tone was relaxed, sibling to sibling instead of the alpha to a wolf requesting his attention.
