[centre][b][h1][color=00a99d]Quinton[/color] and [color=fff79a]Abigale[/color][/h1][/b][/centre] [@Vicier] Abigale squealed as the raccoon came running towards them, and She nodded, unafraid of the furry critter, given that it had seemed quite alright with alessea. Besides, it was cute. She happily played with the raccoon, her laughter and squeals echoing around the area. Quinton watched her a moment, before turning back to Alessea. He pondered all Alessea said, watching her interact with Abigale. His daughter frowned over Alessea's words, and then she sighed, a sad sound that tore his heart. [color=fff79a]"I know it isn't bad that he worries. And I know he has good cause to, with the Hunter that killed our pack, my mother. But people die everyday. Is it so bad to want to have a little fun, after years of running?"[/color] she looked down at Miko, all the confidence she'd desplayed moments before gone, replaced with just a normal kid, struggling with difficult emotions, and Quinton wanted to scoop her up, to hold her tight and let her know it was going to be okay. [color=fff79a]"our pack was strong. I may only have been young, but I remember that. I remember the feeling of...safe. But they were killed. Daddy does everything he can. But he's sad. And...he hasn't been so, much, since we came here. I don't think it's just the town"[/color] Abigale gave her father a smile, although it was almost nervous, as if worried her words might have upset him. Quinton gave a soft sigh himself, shifting and crouching in front of his daughter. [color=00a99d]"the pack was safe, sweetie. It was strong. We made the hard decision to risk ourselves for the community. The Hunter threatened the people we considered friends, and we decided to do what we could to protect them. Only...things went wrong. And when I was the last one standing, I made the decision to get you out and keep you safe. I'll never stop keeping you safe. It's the first full moon here, tomorrow. Let me worry a little longer. Just in case the Hunter had friends, they maybe gone, but the threat lingers. You'll start school next week, you'll make friends, and I'll still want to keep you safe. Because that's my job"[/color] as Abigale nodded, her rose again, looking back to Alessea. [color=00a99d]"two? I'm only aware of the one, the stray I've been trying to approach, but he's been quite hard to track down"[/color] Quinton was well aware that there did seem to be something...astray, but he didn't quite know what. He looked to Abigale again, frowning slightly. He lowered his voice so she wouldn't hear his next words. [color=00a99d]"you don't know where I could get a wolf-dog pup from, do you?"[/color] [centre][h1][b][color=aba000]Cody[/color][/b][/h1][/centre] [@BlackPanther] Cody nodded in agreement, curling his hand around Aron's he was glad to see him looking happier then earlier, and he started to lead Aron towards the treehouse. The tree stood quite tall, was rather large, and [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/48/2a/40/482a401f656e38e259d5483d96d484ad.jpg]the tree house[/url] above was sturdy looking, circling the trunk. There was a rope ladder, which sway light in the slight breeze. And it was clear that it was used quite regularly, a scarf tied against the railing, a lantern by the door. Cody looked to Aron and grinned, giving his hand a squeeze before he began to climb the ladder skillfully and with practiced ease, soon reaching the top, he pulled himself up and over, leaning over to watch Aron climb up as well, figuring it would be a lovely view. Not as good as watching him climb up, but still. When Aron would near the top, Cody would move back to give him room to get up.
