As Ash's mom said something to his dad, the pup's ears perked. He couldn't hear them though. When they faced each other, his dad offered to watch him while his mom recovered from the fight. This offer kicked Ash's tail into motion, wagging, hitting the ground with loud, hard thumps, "Really Dad?! Would you?!" The pup moved to run up to his dad to confirm the exciting news. He just barely got his rump off the ground when his mom sent him a hard look that put his rear back on the ground in an instant. Why was she being so MEAN?! He just wanted to ask his dad if he was serious about watching him!
Ash heard his brother call him and with a few glances to his mom, Ash darted towards his brother, his body kept low. He sprung up beside Angelus, his tail making circles, "I KNOW! I wanna fight a lion! I bet my mom's gonna win- no, maybe dad! I think they are both big and can be scary, so maybe they'll both win! Where's the lion! His butt's gonna get whooped! Dad is big and scary and could probably eat a lion!" Ash had clearly never seen a lion, "Where is he anyway, I need to tell him he's gonna lose!" He turned off, skirting around until he saw it. The large white cat sat, having too little fur on its body and too much around its face. Ash was scared for a split second, his heart jumping. He swallowed, then padded up to the lion all cool like, "Hey! Aren'cha cold without your fur? Did you pull it all out, or did it just all grow on your head? Can I have fur long like that? Oh, but i don't want short fur, because I'd get cold! And you're snow colored! Maybe you tricked the snow into not making you cold? I'm storm colored, so sometimes I feel like it storms more around me because the clouds need a friend! And Daddy is storm colored too, so they come to see him too. That's what Momma said, that I'm like a storm and that Daddy is like a storm! She said if a storm cloud got snow on it, that would be me, but even though I have snow color on me, I still get cold! Did you know my Dad's a good fighter and he's going to beat you up? Especially because you don't have fluffy fur! I think Cascade said that fur protects your skin from bites, but maybe that was Vana or Gelus. I'm gonna be a fighter like my Dad, so you can come back and fight me after you get beaten up by dad today! I want it to be fair, so I'll let you heal first, but then come and see me, okay? My name is Ashmedai! Ashz-Meh-DIE! I'm their son! Ash finally took a break from talking to motion to the two fighters, suddenly realizing that they were actually fighting. Lion forgotten, Ash ran back to Angelus to watch, "Did you see that, Gelus? Dad BIT Mom!" The pup's maw formed a small "o" as he watched. This was gonna be a good fight!
