Ah yes, but you forget it is sosu now. So, I'ma dustbust this thread and conjure EPIC POST OF DOOM!


The sound of the voice coming from the out of eyeline youngster was helpful as it prattled, revealing to Caspa where her new acquaintance was scampering. She couldn't see much past the stack of sticks in her arms. It would have surprised anyone looking on how big a pile she was carrying. Caspa was stronger than she looked, all lean muscle. She didn't have any weight advantage, though, so even now she was swaying and staggering quite a lot. Finally reaching the smokehouse, she sent the pile of wood crashing to the ground in a twiggy cascade next to the girl's stick. "Two wrongs don't make a right, Lottie," she admonished almost automatically. "You shouldn't hurt anybody unless you have to, to save yourself or somebody else. Even if it is your brother being a meanie." She supposed an argument could be made that to retaliate was necessary in order to teach the out-of-line other that all actions had consequences, and thus prevent them growing up a real bully or savage. But that was really his parent's job, wasn't it? Not a fellow puppy. And there was no chance of the King's child growing up a barbarian, surely. Then, she swiped a hand across her face, chasing away a few pieces of bark as she gave a muffled laugh, even though only in the presence of a pup she was still wary of relenting her dignified exterior. She was mocking herself - how seriously did she seem to take everything? It was only a childish game, between siblings who certainly loved one another deep down and knew it didn't mean a thing what they did to each other in play. She could hardly apologise to Lottie now, the girl would have no idea what she was talking about and had probably already forgotten the stern speech. Caspa was sure she had not endeared herself to the child, though, and rested hands on hips, wondering what to do now. She settled for a little praise. "Thank you for helping me, it was a good job we did there," she said very seriously. "Now we can make the smoke-house fire come back to life and your kindling is the most important part of that. Bravo." Perhaps she was laying it on a bit thick, but she did mean it. The girl was like her older brother Liam - eager and willing, although she was still so young. They were good young blood to have around - the prospects of the pack looked brighter every day.
