Safe Boundaries

Walk | Talk | Think His girls were the first ones out of the den and watching them wake up to greet him was more than enough to get him smiling widely and proudly. It amazed him just how quickly they had grown, how they were growing. A whole season had passed since their birth and now they were on into their second, and it showed. They were no longer the cute, round little balls of energy and fluff that they once had been after their birth, trying out their new mobility and then testing their speech. They were getting taller, thinner, just beginning to take on that lankiness of youth, and they were starting to sound and act more mature. As much as he loved them this way he knew they would only continue to mature and grow, continue on even until they were his age and he much older. Had his own father been intimidated by how quickly he and his siblings had aged? It would have been nice to ask. The beautifully-colored Warja was quick to place a kiss against his cheek, and lowering his head enough to more readily accept the gesture Rune returned the sentiments with a soft and careful nuzzle behind her ear. They might have been bigger than they had been, but it was still hard for Rune to let go completely of the tenderness he had picked up when they had been much smaller. The gesture was repeated to Keiki as his drowsy, blue-eyed miniature wandered over to nose at his shoulder before offering her own silent greeting to her sister. That made both girls up and about. Frosty blue eyes shifting back to the den, Rune called out sternly to their lazy brother, "Eirik! Let's go." He really needed to get over his habit of sleeping in. An ear turned and the rest of the burly grey wolf's head followed as he heard his smallest daughter speak to him. Daddy. It still surprised him sometimes how quickly he had gotten used to his new name, and how quickly he answered to it. He had been expecting some sort of question to relate to their expedition today, maybe a question as to what they would see or how far they would go. Instead, his petite little girl surprised him. Fight? Of all of them he would have figured Eirik would be the one to jump on that first. Warja beat him to it. "Do you think you're old enough to start learning?" he queried, turning the question back around on her slightly. Was she ready to begin that sort of training? She must have been, Rune supposed, since she had brought it up. In fact, it probably would do them all some good to learn a little of it. "We can start today, if you want?" Being skewed toward fighting himself, he was impressed his daughter wanted to learn about it and was more than willing to share what knowledge he could. He only hoped that her mother would be okay with it. |
