The rain and thunder were enough to keep anyone sane inside their den. Safety would be their first instinct and survival would be wound around it, no questions asked. However, Dhiren was going to be the oddball and continue to scout through the horrible weather. The flooding had died down and his quarters hadn't been damaged by the excess water. That didn't mean he was going to stay in his home like a coward.
As he walked through the rain, his fur stuck to his body like a wetsuit. Silver and gold eyes tried to look past the closest curtain of rain, but he failed miserably. Instead of slowing down, he changed his walk to a brisk trot. Rain water bounced off his muscled frame as he went, barely touching him as he went through the curtains of water in front of him. When he had covered about a mile's worth of land, he heard the howl. Dhiren immediately stopped, but his body didn't. He lost his footing and slid across the ground, despite digging his claws into the muddy dirt beneath him. His back hit the mushy land and a soft "Oomph" sounded with the rain. He quickly pulled himself up, covered with mud and gunk, and turned it hightail towards the howl's source.
Dhiren's brisk trot turned into a flat out run and he made it to the area of the howl. It had been urgent and he wasn't sure if he was the first one to answer or not. Black and white paws were covered with mud as he slowed to the front of the den. Novel's den...Dhiren's heart raced and he took the few quick steps needed to approach the entrance. Once his head peeked in, his nose caught the smells of blood, fresh milk, and fear. Silver and gold eyes looked through the darkness and fell upon Novel's frail form. "Novel..." he gasped, heart still pounding in his ears. Ara was beside her, tenderly cleaning up the fresh, newborns against Novel's belly. "Ara..." he softly said, voice probably lost in the rushing winds outside. He took a few steps in, wet frame dripping from the storm outside of the den. His sister, littermate, and best friend was now a mother. A smile appeared on his face as he looked down to the babies beside her. "I'm an uncle..." he said, tones warm and happy. For the first time in months, he felt a ball of sunshine rise in his chest. "Congratulations," was all he could say before reaching over to lick Novel's cheeks. He knew she was exhausted, so he tenderly nuzzled her neck before looking at Ara. "You are both amazing...thank you for being here when I couldn't."
