Helloooo world (Lokimar puppy thread)

There was an immediate reaction to his words, as pups boiled out of the den excitedly. Acadia and Everest both paused just outside the den, apparently in awe, but Hel nearly collided with him, and Loki reached out a forepaw to try to roll her playfully. "There's my girls! Now come here so I can eat you up," he mock-growled, but an unfamiliar voice and scent reached him almost simultaneously, and Loki stiffened. His whole demeanor changed in a moment, from childishly playful to coldly protective as he pivoted to put himself between the stranger and the den. A rogue, but a young one. His scent was of a wolf not yet sexually mature and, judging by the puppy ungainliness of his body, still growing. Probably not a threat, but any of those assumptions could be completely off the mark. Loki would not risk danger to his pups. "Who are you?" he snapped coldly, though he tried to keep it toned down to avoid scaring the girls.

But before he could come up from his crouch in a more aggressive manner, his face was suddenly being attacked with licks. Acadia had apparently gotten over her awe enough to come up on him while he was distracted. Loki softened again, momentarily forgetting the rogue pup as his eyes half closed in happiness. He licked her in return, his much-larger tongue swiping her from her forehead down her gray scruff. She scrabbled at his shoulder, and he lowered himself obligingly for her to climb him like a rock until she was sprawled over him squeaking triumphantly. Everest, he noticed, had seated herself haughtily some distance from them - well that would simply not do! Loki eeled forward, taking care not to jostle his rider, until one hooked paw darted out in an attempt to scoop Everest up and towards his face so he could stick his muzzle into her fur and make "nom nom nom" sounds like he was eating her.

The sudden sharp poke of puppy teeth in his ear made Loki yip in surprise and he collapsed in the grass dramatically. "Raaaaaargh," he roared, one paw at his brow as though he were swooning. "The monster has been vanquished. The world... going dark. Ah, ergh, blaghargh." With those final gurgling noises, the big black wolf collapsed in the grass, acid-green eyes nearly shut and tongue hanging out as though dead.
