take me to church

Cador blinked, watching as Ash drew closer to him, sleepy amethyst gaze never wandering from her frame. Though he recognized her approach, he remained still, waiting until she leaped to even react. She easily smacked into him, paws pressing against his head so that she could stretch upwards towards their mother. The brown pup let out a good natured laugh, tail wagging contentedly against the earth as she nipped at his ears, "Maybe soon," Cador nodded, though he was reluctant to commit just yet. How could he keep an eye on them if he was playing too? But his parents were watching - and they could do a better job helping if either of his sisters were hurt.

It was then that the white female appeared as if from nowhere. Cador blinked wide eyes as he tilted his head back to stare at her. "Hello!" He chirped out a greeting, but the white female wasn't as high on his list of priorities as the sudden shyness in Vaishya. Suddenly, Cador detached himself from his mothers paws and padded around to her side, settling down mere inches from Vaishya. The pup leaned casually closer to her, nudging the gray pup's shoulder lightly with his own, hoping to offer her a small degree of comfort. He would protect her if this stranger turned out to be scary, of course. But since his parents seemed friendly towards her, Cador wasn't too worried about it.
