At Long Long Last

~*~ And it was then that Gargoyle strode on in. He had two more pups ? both held by their scruffs in his massive jaws. He was becoming quite the fatherly type of Chief. So many litters to look after! ?Crusade! No freaking out!? he commanded around the mouthful of fur. Rogue might?ve been brave enough to insult and run, but Gargoyle was the only living creature who could give the she wolf an order and expect her to follow it. Only in emergencies of course. He trotted through the growing crowd to his sister and laid the babes down at her side. The nest of pine and fern was far more warm than the bare cave floor, and a little milk after the journey would do them good. Gargoyle doubted either of the mothers would mind for the moment. Besides, he needed his mother free to talk. Crusade had turned her full attention on him, silently demanding an explanation. Before she could loose pacience, he spoke: ?I?ll explain everything later, Crusade. For now, let it be enough that you have been made a mother and a grandmother on this day.-? His address changed from being towards one wolf to being towards all that had gathered: ?-Keki has had her first litter this season ? giving us three sets of cubs to nurture and protect. And back to Crusade ?Isn?t that wonderful?? He was pushing her towards the correct reaction, and for what it was worth, it seemed to be working just fine. Crusade was smiling again ? all the more bemused and surprised, but smiling. And Gargoyle smiled too ? just a touch of it at the corner of his mouth. Then, remembering his own duties, he turned back over his shoulder and called into the main chamber of the cave: ?Ocena dear! Come see meet the new relations!? He caught Rogue?s gaze with the corner of his eye. ?You make one move towards my wife and I?ll rip off your tail to replace my own.? Garogyle showed his affection in lots of different ways. ~*~ ~Don't want to let you down, but I am H.e.l.l.b.o.u.n.d.~ |
