Hide It Away

Lel was taking what time he could to sneak off and see his children. The other woman was asleep, and no doubt he'd have to return soon but he had told himself he'd not abandon his children, not as his own father had. Large snowy paws carried him towards the den his small family had claimed, a quick sniff telling him that Jian and Lian were off somewhere else, though no doubt close by. His daughter Zola though, he could tell she was nearby and as he peered curiously into the den he could just make out the form of his daughter.
There was a definite fear rolling off of her and Lel frowned, brilliant violets seeking out Zola's matching orbs. "Zola?" That special brand of concern working its way into his voice, though his face remained one of confusion.
