Sah
Sah's grimace softens slightly at the clear affection Hotaru is sending his way as he speaks to Soleil. Her reaction and following addition make him feel like his explanation wasn't too lacking, despite how on the spot it was.
When Hotaru turns to regard Soliel again, Sah is given the perfect opportunity to act on the rush of affection her explanation had brought. He leans slightly and places a gentle kiss to her temple before glancing down at his daughter. "Luka's still sleeping, isn't he? And you snuck past him without waking him? My little sun is so stealthy." He nuzzled his daughter's head and let out a pleased rumble.
The words are a partial tease but mostly praise. Stealth was good, stealth meant safety and successful hunts. It was deeply satisfying to know that even in their new forms, his pups had still inherited the traits that had always been valuable to their bloodline.
Nodding towards the stairs, Sah addressed both Hotaru and Soleil. "Come on, let's go wake him." He sent a quick wink at Hotaru, "I should probably do it. He bites." And it would be a life if the Outlander said he wasn't proud of that fact.
After a careful awakening of Luka, the small pack spent the day simply bonding, playing and sharing stories. It warmed Sah's heart to see the last member of his pack return to Halo and find comfort in his den. He had no doubt that Hotaru would win both of his pups over with time, and he was reminded for nearly the hundredth time that day, why he had chosen her to care for them should he fall in the coming days.
