Charles Stone had beaten a lot out of his children in the near-year that he had with them. He had wanted mindless killing machines and he had almost achieved his goal. But there was no way to completely beat a personality out of the two boys and there was certainly enough mischief in the brothers that they remained sane at least. Whilst Teddy was cheeky and flirty with the females Lochlan was a silent planner, his mischievous plans coming about in catastrophic bangs. They never played pranks on their father but there were plenty of cousins and pack mates to test them on. And since the bitter old warrior they called 'Father' was so feared for his temper, the young Stone boys never seemed to get into trouble for their endeavors. Still, there were things that Teddy missed about his childhood- the naive gullability he had listened to his father with and the blind faith that in the end, everything would be okay. While most puppies were desperate to grow up, it wasn't until they actually did that they wished they had remained ignorant of the real world. Still, Teddy had never had faith in the stars.
Blue eyes gave a soft flash in the dark as the welp's indignant voice came through. Although absent of any emotion that would have marked the words as chastising, the words themselves were certainly a rebuke. For a moment Theodore was certainly shocked by the words that came from the pup. They surely had more respect than that. A soft growl threatened to escape as the male's dominant attitude came forward. He wanted to teach the pup a lesson about questioning one's elders, but he couldnt. What the pale boy had said was making some sense to him. He had no evidence that there was nothing out there, just the blind faith that his father had been right. Or perhaps the blind fear that had kept him from questioning. Still, it was not a pups place to point out his error.
"You want to watch that tongue boy... It might get you in trouble some day. And yes, I chose to tell you without evidence."
It was not the pups place to question him and for a moment Teddy could understand a few of the premises his father had worked with. Pups needed to know that what adults told them was the truth, even if it actually wasnt. Theodore would never had dreamed of speaking back to his father. Though sicne he had left his family's choking hold he had grown in confidence he still understood that his father was a terrifying creature. Black ears perked forward to catch the other boys words. As with his other words there was very little emotion in his words and Theodore wondered for a moment what had made this pup seem so... old. Blue eyes caught red as he lowered his gaze as he should have done in the first place.
"Yes. There will come a time when you learn that everything you thought you knew was wrong... Perhaps I felt it prudent to tell you one now instead of letting you find it out yourself."
Came the low thrum of his voice. Though it was certainly not his responsibility to tell him about these things- that privalege was his fathers due. But it appeared he was on his own in this pack, a pup who had chosen to leave the skirt string of his home and leave everything he knew. Teddy wondered what would have made him do that but decided not to voice it. Whatever his reasons he was here now.
