Little Prince
Kat
His time with Aryn having been spent he sought out another of his children, cautiously aware of Lachlan's need to explore and wanting to keep him safe on the island until they could return to pack lands. He'd be a year soon and as such he'd be free to explore beyond the protection Torin could offer. He silently prayed the boy would choose to stay within the pack, and idly wondered if he ought to include a rank for him. Something they could talk about whtn the time comes. For now he'd simply seek out the boy. He was worried about all of them really, he knew the erruption had been scary and wanted to assure his children they were more than safe, especially as the volcano had started to clam some. |

The pup had bounced back from the eruption quickly, more curious than scared about the after effects. Deep down he wanted to go explore, to see the volcano and its wrath up close. Of course he knew if he even mentioned that pipe dream his father would likely have a heart attack. The thought made his lips pull back into an amused grin. Maybe someday when he was granted his freedom, he knew his dad wouldn’t keep him here forever. Bright blue eyes caught sight of Torin’s form on the beach and with no hesitation Lachlan made his way towards his father’s huge form. As time went on it was being assumed that Lachlan would not find much more in the way of height.
Silently, as was usual, Lachlan made his way to Torin’s side, with just the hint of a smile he matched his dad’s gait and walked along the beach with him.
The sand was cool on Torin's pads, shifting beneath his toes as he wandered the beach. He spotted his son on the horizon and it seemed that Lachlan had in turn noticed him. The boy approached and fell into step with him and Torin leaned over to nose at his son's head. Only one of his children seemed to be reaching close to his own height, the rest were trending shorter than himself and despite himself he couldn't help being a bit happy about that, they'd always stay his little children. Even as they neared a full year old. Torin didn't feel the need to say anything for a moment, he was more than happy to feel comfortable in silence with his son. Especially with his daughters being more rambuctous than he'd expected. Finally though he broke the silence, wondering what it was his son had gotten up to since they'd evacutated. "Found any exciting places on the island?" He'd leave it up to Lachlan to decide what contituded exciting, but with his son's proclivity for exploration he'd not be surprised if he'd already seen every inch of the island already. |
