The Dead Switch Graves

Knowing Delphi was safe with family, he thought it only right that he stick to Onyx like glue. All things considered, it was his duty at this point;he was and wasn't many things, but Oki had always tried to be a good Dad. Didn't always succeed, but at least he tried his best, it was better than most, surely. He hadn't strayed too far from the makeshift little den they'd claimed for now, he knew Onyx was more comfortable in the north so he offered no complaints. Whatever she wanted, he did his best to provide.

Still, the scent of blood had him near sprinting back through the snow. He wasn't much of a worry wart, but even he jumped to the worst assumption possible, saw the cougar there and- Kuroki descended upon it with a show of violence he hadn't thought he was capable of. Ripped out its throat, the blood soaking through his white neck bib as he hurried to Onyx's side.

"I'm here. Right here. What'd'ya need?"
