Derp! Okay XD And no worries, he digs her too, in some strange, undefinable sorta way XD

The effects of the drug took hold quickly; he was sure to pass over the cigarette after a second puff. Can't herd a hurricane, much less three of 'em, he consoled her. They'll find ya or call for help if they really need it, he clarified, realising a vague metaphor wouldn't convey his message very well. Point was Maserati would've been a wreck if she insisted on staying on top of him constantly. Her second litter proved better behaved, making regular surveillance and guidance more feasible. But for kids who just didn't want it? No sense trying. If he ever found himself in a jam, he would holler for attention; undoubtedly, their kids had enough sense to do the same. Survival was instinctual. In the face of true danger, those instincts trumped fear of retribution over being disobedient or reckless in the first place.

Now that he was older, he understood his mother fretted over him regardless (even to this day). No problemo, he sounded softly. I'll try 'n swing by within a day or two of each full and new moon, he suggested. He was usually too scatterbrained to keep a consistent schedule, but he supposed a particularly dark or bright night might jog his memory. Luckily for her, that same absent-mindedness rendered him oblivious to her conflicted inner feelings. It wasn't a surprise given he could scarcely sort out his own: that whatever sexual attraction from their first meeting remained was a no-brainer, but now there was a deeper element to it, too. In all likelihood, it would be impossible for him not to feel something for the woman who birthed and raised his first litter. This was also instinct, even if he didn't realise it consciously.

Her hesitation confused him, and his brows furrowed as he peered away from the moonlit oceanscape to her face. Shoot, he prompted her to continue, tone casual and inviting as ever. He didn't know where she was going with that segue, but he would always be willing to hear her out, try addressing any concerns, and offer whatever words of wisdom he'd gathered over the course of his short lifetime.
