/ 406!Niernan embraced his grey cousin happily, patting the mans back gently. Hey Saul, it's great to see you again! He could hardly keep the huge grin off of his face. His relief at seeing Saul again was somewhat obvious to all but he didn't vare who noticed at that point.
His mad grin only got wider as the high voice of his young 'nephew' announced the bundle of energy before Teme impacted Niernans leg. The black and tan man hoisted Temeraire up onto his shoulders where the pup stole Ciarans favorite place. The cat was now winding himself around Sauls ankles, vying for the mans attention. Oof! Teme, you've gotten so big and heavy after last time we met! Must be all your muscle coming in. he gave the little boy a sly grin which promised fun and games later.
The atmosphere changed abruptly and the fur on the back of Niernans neck stood up, he whipped his head around to look directly into the pure azure eyes of a strange two-toned female. Reflexively his hand paw tightened a little around Teme's leg, not so much to hurt the boy, but enough to keep him in place. His eyes flicked away from hers quickly and they sought out Ciaran, then Bran before resting on Sauls right ear. In typical wolf fashion he never stared anyone down, preferring to focus on a body part close to the eyes to seem polite.
He relaxed his hand as Saul introduced the tense female as their distant cousin, more family to get to know. He now smiled easily and bowed his head to Lilin, showing his respect. He wasn't sure if he should offer his paw for her to shake, he knew that was acceptable among males, but only having ever met females who were closely related to him he ddin't know the protocol. He flicked his ears backwards and then forwards again, gaining a giggle from Teme whose nose was tickled in the process, before allowing his soft Irish tones to emerge with A pleasure to meet you cousin Lilin, I am Niernan, if you were wondering.
Niernan had noticed Sauls obvious excitement and the step that the grey male had made towards him. He glanced over and met Sauls bright verdant eyes, his infectious grin creeping onto Niernans own face. He chuckled nervously, hoping that Bran would be polite and that Lilin wouldn't take offence to anything he had said or done.
