OoC: Indeed. Though not what I had in mind. 
IC:
Though Phoenix had not been happy with the situation, he knew he could not prevent their demented half-brother from his childrens' lives. It was a shame he had to feel that way. He would have loved to have a stepson he could trust, but DaVinci was such a shifty character with a vendetta against his mother. It worried Phoenix that his children could be caught up in the crossfire--or worse yet, becoming direct victims of DaVinci's hatred in an attempt to hurt Iskata through them. If it had been up to Phoenix the hybrid spawn wouldn't have had a minute alone with the pups. But Iskata had insisted, and he'd had no course but to respect his mate's wishes in this manner.
There was a chill in the air, and it was not just the weather. He was psychically attuned to his mate's emotions, something that was not always pleasant. He could tell she was irritated and worried. Truth be told he had assumed Firefly had gone to sleep with her big sister Deirdre. The pup was her mother's daughter, and just as fiercely independent as her. The normally overprotective father had slipped, and it would come to haunt him in the future.
Coming up on his mate he leaned in to kiss her on the side of her muzzle, as he usually did when greeting her. he didn't like to see her stressed out like this but with four pups to look after it was becoming a normal site. he was running rather ragged himself. "Is something' wrong?" he asked.
