Casso trotted through the Sparse Pines with one particular goal in mind. It wasn't often these days that he left Yurei's side, but today was a special occasion. For once he worse a soft smile on his muzzle as he went through the pack's territory and there was a new lightness to his step that he didn't try to hide. He wasn't sure how long this giddy happiness would linger, but he hoped that it would continue for many days to come. True happiness was something he wasn't entirely familiar with feeling, but the strange feeling was still certainly welcome as far as he was concerned. There was a part of him - the more cynical side of him - that wondered if his happiness was blinding him in some way and that nagging thought was the thing that finally pushed him to go seek out his uncle. Not only did he need to share the news with him, he also needed a more objective perspective on his concerns. He did eventually pick up on Acere's scent and he followed it until his mismatched eyes landed on the pale figure of his uncle. He gave the older man a grin as he trotted up to him. "Uncle," he greeted simply as he slowed to a stop beside him and leaned in to bump Acere's shoulder with his head. "Is now a good time to talk? I have some news to share with you." His tail wagged gently behind him, clearly showing that it was good news this time - something that felt few and far between in his life. He hoped that his good news would still actually be good news once he explained what was on his mind, but he was still very hopeful. |
