Dangling Feet From Windowframe

Atreides was the first up and the boy wasted no time launching himself at the older male in an attempt to chew on his paw.  Drashiel chuckled and allowed the boy to play, occasionally reaching out to try and bop his son on his forehead.  The King chuckled.  "We have time this morning to play, so let's make the best of it.  Everyone come on out."  Drashiel tugged his paw out of the boys reach to move away from the entrance so the puppies could file out into the sunlight.

The still serenity of dawn broke into a flurry of fur and high-pitched voices.  Drashiel couldn't help but smile.  "You're a long way from bear fighting, Bellona, but maybe we could teach you some of the basics."  Like defenses.  Drashiel believed the pups were never too young to begin learning the basics of self-defense.  Musedly his peridot gaze drifted to Sirius who was already practicing her fighting arts.  Goodness, how did they have this much energy?

As Roman emerged from the den, Drashiel reached out to return her nuzzle as he gazed at the heirs to their kingdom.  Integra was the last out, the little sleepyhead quickly attempting to instigate a game of tag and he sighed heavily.  Sometimes it was like herding cats.  "Maybe we should let them burn off some of this energy before lessons, hm?"

"Burn Baby Burn"
