(312) ;~; This thread is cuuuuute.
The silver-furred werewolf exhaled a sigh of relief over the corpse of the deer, wiping over his brow with a big paw. That could wait, he knew—instead, the man remained focused on Silas, excited to see him—though of course they visited, Rurik would always miss his children while they were away. Maybe he was a little too attached to them thanks to his poor relationship with his elder children. In any case, he was certain they didn't mind—better a loving, doting father than a distant or even non-existant one. He watched as Silas and Anatoliy and then Silas and Liliy hugged, his brilliant eyes beaming. “Так рада, что мы снова вместе,” he mumbled, still grinning—he could hardly even express how happy this made him, but of course, his canine tail did the talking for him, wagging hard at his backside.
“Война?” Liliy asked, her own sky-colored eyes widening. “Вы боретесь на самом деле, Silas?” the girl asked, sounding a little too excited for her own good. Rurik gave her an odd look, and then turned his gaze back to Silas, looking concerned. “Пожалуйста, будьте осторожны, Silas. Не получить себе больно. Я только что получил один из моих сыновей обратно, мне не нужно терять еще.” he said, concern sounding in his voice. During the last statement he looked pointedly at Anatoliy, grinning again to show just how happy this had made him, even with the dark news from his brother. Silas was far too old for Rurik to command him to come home, but the thought of his boy fighting a war... well, he just hoped Gabriel would take good care of Silas. “Встречались ли вы с Gabriel?” he asked, even as he almost obediently turned to the deer carcass at his son's request. Hungry children needed feeding, and even though his kids were adults, Rurik's paternal instinct where they were concerned was strong. “Сидеть мальчиков. Мы будем заботиться о вас,” Liliy chirped, turning toward the grill pit. Though she worked at getting the fire started, her ears were still pointed toward Silas, obviously interested in what he had to say about the war.
