Ooc: Sorry for the delay. Both my computer and I have been under the weather.

It pleased him that she liked the gift as well as knew what it was. That it fit her was a large relief also. The entire time he had been making it, aside from stabbing his fingers and cursing a lot, he had wondered if he was making it too large so that it would drag and be in the way or too small so that it would not fit at all. It appeared his guess-timate of her size turned out to be dead on and he was glad of it. Now he knew she would be able to use it. Plus she said she liked it. Noah offered the tiniest of smiles in return. Knowing that there was no one else to see him with his guard down, when she nudged his shoulder, he reached down and nibbled lightly at her own shoulders much like he would do with his sisters. There were not many left in the lands that he remembered, or at least remembered and got along with. It was a comfort to have her still around.
Noah swiftly stood tall and proud, trying to pretend that he didn’t have a clue what she was talking about. But the longer he tried to hide it, the more he knew it was hopeless. How did they always know? How did they always bloody well know? Defeated and, only because he considered her family and there was no one else around to see it, he relaxed and hung his head sheepishly. There was the slightest hint of puppy impishness in his eyes and his tail twitched quietly. Okay. So maybe he did want to see the cubs.
The gentle grey giant softly trailed behind Iskata to the nest. When he saw them, he immediately wanted to curl up around them and protect them for all time. Pups always did have a special hold on him. It pained him that he was unlikely to ever have pups of his own again. It was probably just as well. He had completely messed up raising his only litter and wasn’t even around to help Phasma save hers. Lost in memories of the old lands, he tenderly bent over and nuzzled the little bundles.
