The young Duke of Cour des Miracles was spending so much time at Chien Hotel lately, working towards his co-rank of Apothecary, that he hardly saw the time fly by before him. It was only a few short days ago when he'd gone home to the Haskel-Catori residence for the first time in a week that he was truly conscious of time. His little siblings were at that age where they grew so fast! Just two weeks ago he'd taken his little siblings hunting – along with Ayita of course – for the first time and now? Now it was as though they were almost double the size they had been back then. They were learning to speak more coherently too, learning more words that would be etched in their memory and added to their vocabulary. Liam was so excited to see them grow! He was just as excited to have an impact on their young lives – to be their big brother, the man who could teach them things and show them right from wrong. He was their big brother.

Today though they were at the back of his mind as he cleaned his little corner of Chien Hotel, having spent a couple hours practicing his stitch work by stitching the wounds he had inflicted on the inedible limbs of dead animals. He was getting better and better with every passing day – soon he would be as good with his stitches as he was with his bandaging. Funny how he too was still growing... he couldn't see it a lot of the time, but he was. Just like Skoll, Lottie and Hati.

And just like the furry balls of fun he called siblings, even now that he was approaching his first birthday and essentially adulthood, Liam did still have a soft spot for games and fun. It was just a part of his life that was seldom seen now that he had a higher rank within the pack and more demanding responsibilities to take care of. Sighing at the mere thought of responsibility, Liam wiped his blood-stained hands on the bear skin towel that had been lying next to his work station. He had done enough work for the day to give himself a little reward. A reward that involved as little of Chien Hotel as possible. Because quite frankly, while the place had been big and exciting months ago, it was very quickly losing its interesting aspect. Now it was just the place Liam went to so that he could work. Nothing truly fun about that – aside from the prospect that one day he would be able to cure all sorts of bugs and fix all sorts of injuries... It was the 'getting there' that was the tough part.

Liam walked for a while, the padded soles of his feet feeling the cool grass below him. He could almost sense the earth as it was freezing over – winter was setting upon the Court. It was actually quite interesting to the large, brown-pelted male to think that they hadn't gotten any snow yet.

He was still thinking about the snow when he caught something pale in the grass nearby. It had a specific form and seemed furry so Liam instantly pushed aside the idea of it being a single patch of snow. Slowly he approached, only stopping when the young Skoll began running away from him. It was only then that he saw the rabbit feeling away and realized Skoll had been chasing it. “You should try being more quiet, Skoll.” Liam suggested as he came closer to the boy and crouched down so that he was closer to the green-eyed pup's level. “Like you're hiding a big secret and you don't want the rabbit to know.” he added for clarification's sake.
