He grinned, his eyes soft as he watched their girl struggle to get closer to him without aiding her. The boy's fluffy little wings bristled when she nudged him too much, flipping his ears back and striking out at her in irritation with a gummy bite, then wiggling in closer to his mom with a little huff.
His baby girl though. So fearless. She touched over his bone, squirmed on into place against his chest and settled right in. He bent down to massage her with his muzzle, lipping at the root of her little crested mane and pushing against her shoulder and neck.
"This is Dagen."
Her face and her voice were so damn soft. She actually seemed happy which was kinda startling but made him feel, fuck, like he might've done something right for once. Even if it had been an accident, completely unintentional. Look at these babies though. He couldn't possibly regret it. Look at Heartfire's face. She's a damn new woman, like she's whole.
"Dagen," he repeated with a mischeivous smile. A bit like Dagger, almost. He liked that. His little dagger boy. He reached out to touch him again, but ended up pulling back with a soft chuckle as it was clear their boy took after his momma's moods and flipped his ears back at him, giving him a gummy little bite too and pressing closer against Heartfire.
Salty little thing.
Baby didn't have a name yet though, and he returned his attention to her, nudging at her again a little more roughly than he meant to. She was so damn beautiful. So bold to come to him, so brash to take what she wanted and make herself comfortable exactly where she'd wanted to be. He chuckled again, giving a couple playful bites to her neck.
"She is Brazen." He hadn't meant to name her, but it wasn't wrong. "Brazen and beautiful." And his.
He reached over their babies to lean into Heartfire, rub his cheek against her neck. She still needed rest and nourishment, still so thin from sacrificing every bit of herself to protecting them and nurturing them. The quiet heat hadn't left his eyes and he spread a different sort of bite up her neck with a low hum, earning him more toothless nips from the boy at her side. He grinned and ignored him. He was brazen too and would take what he wanted.
Someone so important was missing though and he retreated back, turning his head to call out for her.
"Briella."
we're slaves to any semblance of touch
Lord, we should quit but we love it too much
