Teme Lupus is by Alaine!
The young Stormbringer was surprisingly pensive- more accurately known as sulking. A usually happy and upbeat male, Temeraire had been brooding for a few days now. Since he'd gone and found Lena again, he'd admitted his insecurities about his fathers new mate and children. He knew Saul tried his best to spend as much time as he could with him, teaching him how to write now that he had the thumbs to do so. His father had taught him to read from a young age and Temeraire was an accomplished reader. He was more than happy however that his father still recognised that his son needed lessons. During their writing lessons, which usually only occurred once a week and had happened three or four times now, the pair caught up on what was going on with each other. Temeraire revealed his friendship with Lena, embarrassed to have to tell his father about the almost confrontation with Cody. He'd tried to explain how he was feeling and Saul seemed to understand what was going on.
Still, the boy couldn't help but feel that once the pups arrived, Saul would have even less time for him. It was this thought that kept his usually sunny demeanour under a dark cloud. He'd spent a lot of time with Helexia since his meeting with Lena, reinforcing their bond as well as taking her on walks around Jordheim. She was getting bigger, having turned three months old just today. He'd gone over to the stables early, for him at least, and had given the filly an apple he'd found. It was small and tart, but the horse had enjoyed it none the less. He'd attached a makeshift rope headcollar to her led her out of the stables with a smile.
He found himself heading north towards the lakes, as he'd done a few weeks ago and found Liam fishing. He was aware that the dark male, and his little ward Caroline, had left Vinátta now. But the thought of the lake was refreshing to him. He would be over this insecurity soon he thought, but for now he was content to lead his horse to the water, laughing when the filly jumped and splashed him with the water.
