They had been young with their first litter and made many mistakes. Though so knowledgeable, Dutiron had quickly become aware of the fact that he knew absolutely nothing about raising children and Novel had quickly become intent on training their eldest daughter to take the leadership role in years to come. Whilst it truly would be nice to keep the pack in the Destruction family, the man had certainly feared the ferocity that Novel had made that decision, what on earth had she expected to happen to them to need Song to train so early?
Fortunately nothing it seemed but to drive their daughter away. How the man wished he could have found his confidence, seen the error of their ways early enough to prevent such things from happening. He prayed that the time apart had done both good, the loss had certainly weighed heavily upon the family and perhaps now Song would welcome them back. As much as he wished to see them all again, there was a part of him that feared now they were so close what might happen if she didn't.
"I can't wait to see them, but still I feel such a nervousness within my heart." From her words it seemed that Novel suffered similar worries. "Butterflies." He smiled warmly, pushing his own nerves aside for the sake of his mate. She was the one that had the most reason to worry after all. "They've brought us plenty of joy in our lives so far. Try not to be too worried."
"That sounds marvellous." He wasn't sure if the break would only make the anticipation and worry of seeing the children worse but it was welcomed all the same. If things went well who knew when they would have such time alone again. Leading a pack had left such moments occurring far less often than he cared for. With a content sigh he would allow his legs to rest and lie down.
