the future is bright

His mother would arrive several moments after the young boy had arrived, taking her spot beside his father. Paw steps beside him would catch the boy's attention, skull craning around to glance back towards the familiar figure of his older sister Arian. She would come to brush up against him and Caeto would gently bump her shoulder with his muzzle, returning the affection quietly as he allowed his attention to return his parents. A curt nod would be given to his look-alike father at his compliment, his features still remaining as serious as ever. Maybe one day I'll be as handsome as you pops. He would allow his facade of seriousness to crack for a moment as his affectionate name for his father slipped past his russet lips, plume wagging ever so gently behind him before his facade was reinstated. His mother would lean towards him, nuzzling him gently and he would lean forward to kiss her muzzle, his tail wagging again in response to her affection. But the affections would be put aside as his father began to speak.

MY FAMILY, I COME BEFORE YOU TODAY WITH WORDS OF CHANGE. I UNDERSTAND THESE WORDS MAY FRIGHTEN YOU, AND MAY MAKE YOU FEEL UNCERTAIN - BUT IT IS NECESSARY TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU. YOUR MOTHER AND I HAVE DECIDED TO LEAVE SERACIA AND SEEK OUT A PATH OF OUR OWN. WE HAVE INTEREST IN A FLEDGELING PACK CALLED EBONY, WHOSE VALUES ARE MUCH LIKE SERACIA'S. WE UNDERSTAND THAT MANY OF YOU MAY BE ATTACHED TO SERACIA, AND SO WE WILL NOT DRAG YOU AWAY IF YOU TRULY WISH TO STAY. YOU ALL ARE OLD ENOUGH TO MAKE YOUR OWN WAY IN LIFE, AND SO THE OPTION TO STAY OR GO WILL BE ENTIRELY YOURS. I ASK THAT YOU THINK ON THIS FOR A MOMENT, AND LET US KNOW OF YOUR DECISION. WE WILL NOT FROWN UPON YOUR DECISION, NO MATTER WHICH CHOICE YOU MAKE. Caeto would absorb his father's words, letting them sink in as he slowly processed them, unreadable azure gaze dancing back and forth between his parents, trying to make sense of what they were offering. Freedom. The freedom that he had been desiring since the moment that Zaira had appeared to him at the border. And now he could have it. Without protest. There had to be a catch, didn't there?

Is there a condition if we choose to take our own path? The young man would be straight forward with his question, wanting a straight forward answer in return. How long had his parents been deliberating to leave Seracia? It was a shock, but perhaps it was the perfect chance that the young man needed. He would wait patiently, wondering what exactly his parents would come up with. If there was a condition...then perhaps it would be wise to stay within the confines of Seracia until he was a year old, but if there wasn't, there was absolutely nothing stopping Caeto from leaving. He would seek Zaira out the moment he was gone and see where he would go from there.
