Word Count :: 363 Think we might change the date to closer to today so Helotes can have his behbeh with him? Big Grin

Today, he was going to take his son outside. It was the first time Zana had allowed him to do so, and also to separate the pups. Azucena stayed behind with her mother, napping, but little Chico was coming with him today. So, he had bundled the tiny puppy up in a makeshift cloth papoose, and strapped him to his chest, tight enough that he couldn’t wriggle away but comfortable enough that he could see the world around him and sleep if he wanted. Currently, he was doing the ladder, and was silent as a babe could be as Helotes exited the mansion to fetch Yegua.

He then set off in no particular direction, in fact, he let his horse decide, and she headed towards the part of Inferni that was closest to the Dampwoods. It would make sense the mare would head this way, for there were patches of sweet grass in that area that she could just not get enough of. As they road, Helotes let a single claw glide back and forth across the fuzzy scalp of his two week old son. He had yet to be named, both Helotes and Zana were having difficulty deciding what the pygmy child should bear as a name. It would have to be something strong, for he was a strong boy despite his size, managing to push around his much larger sister when it came to feeding time. But for now, the Lykoi man just lovingly called him Chico, until a proper title could be found.

It seemed as if Yegua had forgotten about the grass and was now on the trail of something difficult, and Helotes became aware that they were moving upwards, and soon, the trees and fog thinned. The view from here was lovely, and he took a moment to look across Inferni, before noticing the shapes of horses and Luperci nearby. It was Myrika, and Yegua was heading straight towards them, most likely smelling the stallion. As they neared, Helotes raised a hand in greeting, Hello, Consul. He said courteously as Yegua came to a halt beside a very pregnant mare, and suddenly became very interested in the grass.
