I know. I was planning to tell everyone afterward. Sah's pups had certainly had a surprise when their dad came home as a wolf. Soleil and Luka had been understandably surprised. Lilly tackled him immediately. Pad had been greatly offended that he hadn't been invited to the shrine with him.
Maybe it was his newly enhanced senses, but there was something in Deimos' body language that Sah didn't like. Eyes narrowing slightly in concentration, he sent a wave of affection and warmth through the bond. Trying to put into feeling the depth of his respect and care for the man leaning out the window. You know that I trust you, right? That I care? I know that I come to you with anything, no matter how idiotic, and you'll be there with advice or to talk me out of something. The wolf's jaw set stubbornly, almost daring Deimos to disagree. You're very important to me. You and Noah, both. It felt awkward to lay it out there, but Sah felt that it was needed.
The notion of questions forced some of the tension out of his shoulders. It was odd to shrug as a wolf, but the Wild Thunder managed. One? Maybe? When new shifts are coming...do you have dreams about them ahead of time? Last night, I had the most bizarre dream of flying and running through lava. They had been mere glimpses before moving on to the next one, but each was burned into Sah's mind. Black wings and looming cliffs. Wind running through feathers. His wolf paws morphing into something more jagged and heated. Claws turning almost to stone and the heat of molten rock becoming soothing instead of scalding.

the wild thunder
Lightning strikes
A distant howl
A distant howl
