Even though it was only a sliver it still cast a bright enough light for him to move through the hot springs with ease. Massive paws made squelching noises as they pressed against the wet stones but as he drew closer to the den he would pause, already seeing from a distance that Vi was home and she was curled up protectively in front of the den but away from his children.

He hadn't slept well since Jupiter had left and he had followed her. Hips flopped lazily to the side and skull would lower to his paws gently. For a moment eyes would focus on the moon but it was not long before they slipped closed and sleep drifted over him. For a long time it was blank but as he drifted further and further into sleep things became far too familiar. He was sitting, right in front of her grave?
