yayyyyyyyyy!

He hadn’t noticed anything different in the new Fall day when he woke. Amber eyes had looked at his sleeping mate for a few prolonged moments before rising and getting read to start the day. The air was brisk, cooler then the one before and the coy-wolf walked slowly to the stables. All his horses had remained there for the night, and he thought casually about the problems Soucis would cause as he moved everyone to the pastures for the day. The day before it had been rearing and bucking nipping at his hands. Would today be the same? Or would he be kicking and yelling so that they other would become fearful and just as crazed? Heath tried not to dread, and he stood in front of Lumière to calm his nerves. He leaned his nose against hers, breathing in her scent and finding that sleep was still touching the outskirts of his mind.

Then a call.

Heath’s ears shot back, his body moving before his mind could even truly understand what was happening. The mare stood beneath him, but then they were riding in the next heartbeat. His thoughts cleared, and he held her mane and kicked his legs with the realization of what drove them both forward. The cabin wasn’t far, he could have run himself but bringing his companion was just instinct. Heath dismounted before she had even stopped completely, paws falling hard and running. The door didn’t stand much of a chance against his two large hands, and he would have to repair one of the hinges later.

Ruri? He called with question, there were scents in the air that he had never known before. The tinge of blood’s metallic hung around him as well, faint but still present. He could hear her, and ran around the couch and knelt to the ground. Is it time? He spoke, trying to hide and fear and franticness in his tone. Blankets, towels, water, they would need them but all the father could do was look at her face. She needed to tell him what to do, for he had no idea.
