He knew for a fact his story had made a big impact on his little brother. The kid was hilarious, his face changing from curiosity to wickedness, and then to more curiosity. Finally he seemed to be amused, a laugh escaping his goofy wolfish mouth.
Just the looks on his face was enough to make Liam grin back, knowing he was making his brother happy. Of course, Liam knew that it was undoubtedly at his own expense. How long before this story was spreading like wildfire? On the bright side, most of the pack was old enough not to be too entertained by such stories. Robin would probably laugh and tease him for a while, Lottie and Hati would join Skoll in making his life a living hell, dragging out the story for months until they grew bored of it... But why should Liam be worried, anyway? They were kids and they thrived on fun and games. His muddy escapade, as embarrassing as it had been to him back then, wasn't really that big of a deal now.
He was consumed with Skoll's giggles when it happened. He called him mudface. Now that was just the flame he needed to start a fire. Liam barked back and started chasing his baby brother, stopping long enough to grab a handful of mud from the ground and fling it at the creamy male. “I'm mudface? We'll see who's muddier when I'm done with you, kid!” he said, laughing. He continued running. It was during these times that Liam was the most happy he had little siblings. They were fun and care-free, bringing Liam back to the days where he'd been like that too.
He often missed being a little kid – he missed when his only worry was that he didn't get the butterfly he'd been chasing, or that his mother would punish him for making a big mess of the house. Times had changed and Liam had changed. He was older now and he couldn't act like a kid anymore. At least not all the time. But times like these were the exceptions.
