Home's around the corner - Nikolai - Jul 26, 2018
He leaped over the massive log, landing with a barely audible thump. A soft growl rumbled in the pup’s throat as he corned his piece of prey. It was huge! The massive multicolored carapace of the beetle seemed to quiver in fear before the hunter just before he smashed it!
That's how he had seen it when in reality, the cub had been scampering erratically to and fro through the nearby rye stalks when he had stumbled across the beetle. A sharp frighted squeal of terror had briefly emitted from the boy as he came across the new and strange creature. It had turned and scuttled off, with him giggling in pursuit, having tried to leap over a small fallen branch. He had missed of course and misjudged his jump. The impressive landing had been nothing more than him scrambling to right himself, his left hind leg got caught on the bare branch. His impressive killing had been nothing more him squashing it as he poked it curiously with a paw.
A small grimace formed on his muzzle as he quickly rubbed away the remains onto a nearby tuft of browned grass. Sniffing the air, the pup looked around, the area seemed unfamiliar, but he had to still be close to home. Nikolai had explored a bit further then he had originally planned and had managed to get himself lost in the stalks. He had to get back quickly, he didn’t want to worry his parents or his sister. Unaware that the den and his home was just around the metaphorical bend, he opened his mouth, a short and quick howl escaped as the pup took a tentative step forward. “No,” He said quietly to himself, the word itself was a bit of a comfort, having heard @Adelayde and @Laike use it many times when the two siblings had tried to peek out of the den at night or stay out later than they were supposed to.

[/dohtml]Perhaps -- just perhaps -- Deacon had neglected being social with the arrival of his own child and the aftercare of Lekalta's birth. He tended to his own small family and balanced his pack duties. Which had left him with little social time. It wasn't as though he didn't want to be social he was just exhausted with new responsibilities. Although today he was hoping to find someone to lift his thoughts a bit.
What he hadn't expected was a childish howl to reach his ears. It was not the voice of his own child and so he could only assume it was one of the other children that Wild Rye Fields had had this season.
A little bit of poking through the rye had led him to the boy. By scent and changing looks alone, it was easy to know who the boy belonged to. Deacon glanced around to try and see if a parent was showing up but it seemed it was just them for now.
"Hey there kiddo." He called softly. "You alright?" The swarthy male asked with obvious concern.

“You alright?
The voice was new and unfamiliar to the young wolf. He stiffened up fearfully, looking around slowly. It didn’t take long for the pup to find the source of the voice. The figure stood nearby, mere feet away. Dark colored fur stretched over a large frame. Niko gulped, his nostrils flared as he took in the man’s scent. His mother and father smell clung to the man, that had to mean he was ok right?
Nikolai didn’t respond at first, positive now that the man belongs with his family he scooted closer. Pressing his small frame against Deacon’s forelegs he looked upward “Now am.” he said, his grasp of language growing by the day. {b} “You with home?” he asked, even though in his small mind he was sure of it. It never did hurt to be sure, though what he’d do if Deacon had been a loner didn’t cross his mind.

Deacon leaned down as the kid found safety against his foreleg. Softly he nosed at the kid's crown. Definitely one of Laike and Adelayde's kid. Their scent was all over the boy and the markings that seemed to be growing in looked very much like the mated pair's. "I am." He informed the boy with an easy smile as his tail swayed slowly. "Have you met Kisetra?" The swarthy beta asked as he kept his amber gaze fixed on the boy. Perhaps it would be easiest to explain that he was the girl's father rather than giving some big introduction.
Speech.
