It had been some time now since the little lost pup had showed up on Crimson Dreams' doorstep and Savina had fed him and let him come and sleep with her family. She had sincerely hoped that against all odds, his parents would show up and either decided to join the pack as well or take the little boy back into their care. It had not happened though, and she had grown increasingly attached to the playful Denali. He slept with them every night, had become a part of the routine, and she knew that she had started to look at him as one of her own. To the mother, he was her's in everything but blood and name. If his parents were still alive, surely they would have found him by now. So she had talked to Kansas about offering to formally adopt the pup into their family. He hadn't spent much time with Denali, but agreed to her proposal, also wanting to offer the boy a new family.
The Commander had gotten up early and went to sit by the lake for a bit before she met up with Kansas to go seek Denali out to make their offer to him. He seemed happy with them, but she wasn't sure how the boy would react. She hoped that he wouldn't feel they were trying to replace his birth parents, and that they were only doing it out of affection and care of him. The sleek dark fey got up to head back to the manor and ran into none other but the mottled boy himself. Smiling, she had asked him to come with her back to the mansion, for she had something that she wanted to ask him along with her mate. The boy agreed to come and walked with her back to the large house that the pack all shared.
As the large structure quickly came into view she could make out the form of her lover on the porch, standing ghostly pale and handsome as always. Her tail wagged happily at the sight of him, as it always did. Savina teased Denali into a race to the porch and increased her pace. Of course she didn't run straight out, or she would have left the pup far behind, but kept herself so she was just about nose and nose with him the whole way until the end, where she let him beat her. "Ah, you beat me Denali! You're very fast, did you know that?" she asked, smiling brightly. Then she turned her bright gaze to her mate, padding up to join him on the porch. She licked his cheek and nuzzled briefly against his neck before looking back towards the boy. Suddenly she realized she wasn't sure how to approach this, and asked innocently, "Do you like it here Denali? Have you been happy?" She thought he had been, but it was best to be sure before continuing towards the main question. This was a delicate situation and they needed to proceed carefully.
