put your hands into the fire.

Weee.


The night had begun like any other. Geneva and Jefferson inside the ranch and Pripyat sprawled out before the hearth, waiting for his father to start the fire. It was a slowly becoming ritual that Pripyat relished in, for normally it was just they three gathered in the common room and it reaffirmed his standing with his parents. No matter how far he wandered during the day, he came home at night and warmth and kinship were assured. It had taken them a while to get into this flow, but now it seemed that the separation between them had never been. At least to Pripyat. Mother seemed happy, and Jefferson, he seemed content at least. Happy was perhaps a too powerful word to place on the grizzled gimp that Pripyat had come to love in his own way. Rarely were their night times disrupted, and it was stranger still, that night, it was his father doing the disrupting. As Jefferson rushed about, and eventually out of the house, Pripyat turned his wondering gaze to Geneva, who seemingly had no answers either. Sighing, he wrote his father’s strange behavior off and turned his gaze back to the unlit fire place.


When his father’s call came he laid back his ears and rolled over, to find that at some point his mother had slipped from the room. Sighing heavily he heaved himself up, nose twitching and he turned towards the door. "Mother, I’m going to see Jeffer— err Dad." His voice called out to the empty hallways, knowing that she would get the message as it echoed from room to room. Exiting the ranch he made his way towards the call, and it was not long before the flickering fire caught up in his ocean eyes. Arriving he saw and recognized Xeris’s mate and Addison, although the third wolf who had answered his father’s request was a complete stranger to the boy. Although timidity was not a trait of Pripyat Soul, he never the less maneuvered his way over to Jefferson, taking a seat in the man’s shadow without so much as a word.
