Saul Lupus is by Alaine!

A feeling was beginning to settle itself over Saul's shoulders, a comforting and warm weight. At first, he couldn't put his paw on what this feeling way. Being here, with his family surrounding him, looking at the houses that could soon be their houses was an awe-inspiring feeling. He remembered being in Ichika, having no control over any situation and he'd hated it. The change had been too much and he'd left. It had been the best decision of his life, and it had led to this new creation. The respect that the others had for him settled the mantle of responsibility over his shoulders, which was also a comfort. While his birth was unfortunate and events had made the Stormbringer brood semi-orphans, Saul had always felt a responsibility for his siblings and he'd taken this mantle with pride. That was certainly what he was feeling right now, a sense of pride in those around him, in his self, in what they would create. He would perhaps come to feel the weight on his shoulders as a sense of rightness, responsibility, an utter conviction that this was where he fit.

His internal thoughts were halted as Niernan sauntered over, cat curled around him and his brother following- the typical image of the Brothers Grimm. He flashed Niernan an encouraging smile. It seemed he'd heard his introduction and had come over to introduce himself properly. Saul snickered softly at Niernan's description of the two before he'd moved towards the houses. His ears remained attuned to the rest of them, his family, his pack, although he hadn't missed the panic in Lilin's eyes when he'd mentioned about Temeraire's conception. Mentally, he noted this and reminded himself that he was going to have to talk to Lilin about that- he recognised that they were both insecure beings and it was something he hadn't really spoken about with anyone. It was especially important to be honest with her, and he would speak to her soon about that issue.

He turned, automatically seeking her out and watching as she slapped a hand on one of the houses, laying claim. He grinned, automatically looking to the houses around Lilin's claimed home to see which one might suit him and Teme. His son and Ezra's son could be heard not far away, rooting through one of the houses. And the atmosphere relaxed into comfort, a sense of home settling over all of them. He knew Colibri might be a little nervous, but he'd hoped they had made her feel welcome. Niernan and Bran had certainly greeted her with their usual foolishness, which was a good thing. She may as well know what they were like now, while she still had a chance to run. He hoped she didn't however, he sincerely hoped she took it in her stride and joined them. Because Saul had found his niche.

The afternoon waned into evening as the group explored the houses, trying to take in just how many there were and perhaps laying claim to them as Lilin had done. Saul made no choices yet, keeping a careful watch over the wolves who placed themselves in his care. His eyes more often than not found Lilin, a sparkle in his eyes. This was their vision, and soon they would be living here, a permanent place where they could raise their family, grow old and die here. They remained in the houses that night, camping out and sharing hot hunks of meat that Niernan had managed to catch when Saul had asked him to find some dinner. He knew Niernan enjoyed hunting and his cousin had returned with three pheasants and two rabbits. Their family was happy, healthy and whole- there was nothing else that needed to be said.
