Family addition

Despite what Kotori had accomplished since leaving the armada Dad was still dad.  Maybe that was what made it ok to have teased his dad a bit.  The pleased look crossed his dad’s face and then Sirius responded to Ochi.  Hey, were they going to get away without Dad hugging them?  None of those bear hugs?  

Kotori was also right on expecting his dad to grab him.  He hadn’t planned his dad using his claws to rake the fur on his head but couldn’t say he was surprised either.  Kotori waited a second, letting dad congratulate him before whacking a paw out at his father’s shoulder, dipping his head out of the grip.  

“Thanks, dad,” Kotori thumped his head against his father affectionately before going back to conversing.  “and it's true.  I was starting to wonder if I’d find a mate,” a small smile given to Ochi, “I am a bit stubborn only wanting the best.  It was well worth the wait.”
