He was utterly devoted to his family, so much so that he almost could not bear parting their sides just to hunt for their foods. He was utterly in love with Twig and their children until he thought his heart might burst with the force of it.

Spring was on the air, the taste of new life and warmth to come and he could not wait to show his children the joys of it. ?You and these lives are the most beautiful things in the world? he would agree rubbing his cheek gently against hers. He would chuckle with her next words, knowing she had been cooped up in this den for a while now. ?I can play mother for a while? he offered, already imagining them curled up in his warmth as Twig went out and played in the warming air. |
