Puppieeeees 300+
Everything seemed to be happening so fast. The few that had gathered inside the quaint cabin were rushing about, looking either frantic or excited, and in some cases, a mixture of both. Naniko’s words betrayed the identity of the other ivory female as her sister. Ehno’s gaze drifted to her for a moment as he wondered how he had never known of her existence before. But his thoughts could not focus on one subject for long, and not a moment later Geneva stole up to him, grasping his arms and leading him to the crowd with words of congratulations. He was grateful for not only her kind words, but also the kindness she had shown Naniko and the home she had offered to her here. “Thank you,” he managed to utter, before his attention was swept back to the D’Angelo woman beneath the bed.
Before he knew it, four beautiful little bodies lay squirming beside Naniko. The biggest and perhaps most sincere smile he had had in weeks quickly graced his features. His tail began to wag happily as his amber gaze took in the sight of their children, making his excitement even more apparent. The mother announced the names of the four squirming children and Ehno nodded quickly in approval. "Bei nomi per i bei bambini," he said, looking back up to Nani. The musical sounds of his native tongue matched his uplifted mood. The only thing that could make this moment even better for the Italian was if his family had been there. It gave this moment a bittersweet feel, and he pushed the thought away as quickly as he could. He knew that thought would be haunting him plenty enough later on.
The black-furred stranger—the pack’s healer, he had to assume—spoke of the puppies and moved closer to them. Ehno’s amber gaze flew to her quickly and he stiffened slightly. Instinctually and involuntarily his fur stood on end, but he remained silent, gaze studying the stranger. He knew she was only trying to help, but his innermost protective instincts could not be stopped. The chocolate hued male kept still, gaze drifting toward Naniko to see what her response would be. If she approved of this woman being so close to the pups, he would relax.
