you mean a rabid cougar, right? *points at Anutitle* ;D 300+

He had always wanted to make her proud. Anu even more so than Naniko. Even before the truth of his parentage came to light, he had gravitated more towards the tawny mother than the ghostly hued one. As far as Haven was concerned, he might as well have been born from her womb. Even when he had found out that she held no actual genetic ties to him, it didn't matter. She had raised him. She had played with him and dried his tears. Above all else, she had always loved him. No matter what, he knew she always would. And he would always love her. If only Princess had had someone in her life that could have filled the void left by her mother. Maybe in time, she could adopt Anu at least partially into that role.


He could see the various and subtle transformations in his mother's face as he first said he had news to share, and then the brief pause, and then when his voice gave life to the truth that was between himself and Princess. He saw the tears blossom in her perfectly blue eyes, but he didn't have to wait for her speak to know that they were happy tears. The boy knew that she had always wanted this for him. To find someone he loved and who loved him back. The tears didn't fall to wet her cheeks, but as he approval rang forth he couldn't help but to press his nose against her cheek. He nuzzled against her soft fur, taking in her scent, as she often had in his life. Haven had expected it to be an emotional announcement for her, but not quite so strong as it was.


After a few moments he pulled away, smiling strongly back at her. Silence lingered for a moment longer before previous words tickled at his mind. Those, combined with his mother's different appearance were enough for him to break from this moment and ask, "You said you had something to say too?" The Aatte hoped it was good news, that nothing was wrong with her. Haven wouldn't be able to bear it if something was the matter with her.
