A Long Talk Coming

He sat there along the shore, ears pivoting about as the sounds and smells painted the world around him. Nose filtering and sorting the scents around their new home. Lior gave a cough behind him and the father turned around to look at direction she approached from behind. The pelt of his daughter pressed against his side, Bane giving a kiss between her ears as a hum surfaced from his chest.?"I feel all right. The den nice Lior?" Bane shuffled his forelegs and turned to an arriving Anais. "Go stand by your sister, and the both of you get comfortable." Lior was waited on, Bane laying down with his chin resting on his forepaws as she did so, and he began with a sigh.

"Now. It's just us Lior and Anais. Your mother is off for a bit and I've decided that now would be a good time in light of recent events to inform you about a certain aspect of living as females. To put it simply Anais, you're in heat. Right now And so a male, and you, could get together and have young. As for how those specifics work I would let you ask your mother, but she is away."?There was a pause as he let those words sink in, unseeing gaze staring at his daughters with a hard expression.

"Now you girls can giggle all you want but I want you to understand that what I tell you is a serious matter."?Bane was going to be rather tame with his wording, but it never hurt to be to careful as he spoke. It was awkward, of course. Both for him and certainly his daughters. But he powered through it, trying to cover everything so there wouldn't be any questions. As he let Lior and Anais soak in the information Bane adjusted where he lay with an amused huff.

"You are going to have to be your own women as I was my own man growing up. Learning things the hard way and without a dedicated mentor. Stand up for yourself and know that no male has claim over your mind should you find yourself being forced upon. I only want you two to be safe out there wandering around."
