Kiara could feel the excited pups weight as she jumped on top of her caretaker. The arctic wolf allowed her prize to be taken and turned her attention to Sarian's cheerful welcome. Sarian had rushed over to Kiara and licked her jaw passionately. Although the pup knew Kiara was not her mother, still Kiara seemed to hold a place in the young wolf's heart. Kiara happily allowed the show of affection before grabbing the young pup in her jaws. Sarian squirmed a little in an attempt to get away, but the alabaster women would have none of that. Carefully she flipped the little puppy over to inspect her stomach. Although Kiara was not a healer, she still felt this desire to check the puppy's health on a regular basis. Sarain tried to push Kiara's probing nose away, but the puppy was far to small to have any effect. Seeing that her paws were having no effect, Sarian tried to flip over and run to her mother crying, "Mom!"
Kiara grabbed the young pup before she could escape. "Bath time now kiddo. You can eat and rest when we are done. After all, proper grooming is important too. And if you would just stay still, then we will be done in a minute." Sarian was clearly unhappy with the turn of events, but was forced to allow the grooming. Kiara worked on the young pup, pausing briefly to answer Shiloh's question. The cold air woke me up and the raccoon was asleep when I found it. Though...a nap would be nice.
As soon as Sarian's bath was done she ran to the safety of her mother. Kiara chuckled a little before laying down with her back turned deliberately to the pair. Sarian's little ears perked at seeing her caretaker's back turned. Without a moment's hesitation the young wolf exacted her revenge for the bath. Sarain was by no means quiet in her approach and went straight for the arctic wolf's exposed ear. Playtime was at hand and Kiara's ears would definitely be sore by the end of the day.
