“Aha! There she is! Told you.” Amandine exclaimed, pulling herself away from Rox’s side with a smirk to greet her mother first. Sauntering over to Akela (and noting that her attention was on Ori, wandering off to explore on his own, liiiiike usual), she didn’t hesitate one bit as she gave her mom an affectionate nuzzle under the chin. “Hi, mom. How’s it going?” With a happy rumble, she pulled herself away, flashing a smile. “You know what? Don’t bother answering that, because your day is about to get better. Guess what I found while I was out and about? Or, rather, who...” With that, Amandine motioned towards her father with a nod of her head, more than pleased with herself. “Please, do feel free to give me the grand title of “Favorite Child” now, I’ll gladly accept it.”
“I’m not really any of the herbs or flowers that Amandine was keeping an eye out for, but...” Giving a casual shrug of his shoulders, the normally stoic Rox’ couldn’t help but smile at his mate as he approached. He bumped his nose against hers gently, enjoying the fact that they were actually able to see each other again after the tribe’s busy yet necessary “moving in” period. Rox let out a content hum, pressing a kiss to her cheek. “I’ve missed you, so much.” At the light, yet very insistent shove that Amandine gave him, the male rolled his eyes. “And the kids, too. They were very missed.” With a fond shake of his head at his daughter and a light huff (which, of course, drew a laugh out of Amandine), he turned his attention back to Akela. “So, how has your morning been? Or just... things in general. Not too stressful, I hope? I know all of you have been busy around here lately, getting adjusted to the new home and all.”
