"Speech!"
Iki was less than happy to be dragged around by the scruff by a dog who was just as big as him. SO he had kept his face turned away the entire time. Dad had also took his antler chew bone away, And boy would mom be upset when she learned dad was being so mean. But the boy stayed quiet instead of whining. Unusually so.

He laid there when the dog released him though because even when he tried to slink off his dad fixed him with a glare that told him he would be in so much trouble and he might not get the chew bone back. So he laid his head down and waited after his dad called. He stayed quiet until Gav appeared. His own tail beginning to wag as his siblings started to show up. Gav wanted him to see something and he turned his head and immediately he loved what he saw.

His green eyes lit up and became large like saucers as he looked at the kitten his brother introduced him to. "I LOVE HER!!!!" His little screech possibly startling others and he heard his father's dog clear his throat to get the boy to settle down but now it was too late. The cat was seconds from being cuddled if she didn't move. He, from his laying position went to pull her to his chest so he could snuggle and love her the best way possible.

Then Jer showed up and Iki was happy to see both his brothers, but if he had the cat he didn't want to let her go yet. She was so cuteeeee!!!! As Jer Nuzzles Iki he gives a happy giggle and leans into it closing one eye. Fight training wasn't his thing everyone who knew him knew that so he was more into the moral support of his siblings for this. And then came Tani. She wasn't a fighter either, but still she was here. Shocking dad even let her come with him being as protective of them all as he was. She came and sat down to Gav's other side, but not before bumping into something. He looked at his brothers, concerned for their sister. Was she ever going to navigate without jack or ink? Would she be okay if they disappeared one day? "You okay Tani?" He kept his question to her hushed, aware she was usually embaressed by her lack of being able to navigate properly. Though it seemed like Baecette and mom tried to keep her mind off it. And dad refused half the time to let her go anywhere she didn't know well.
