little wonders,

Mama had gone somewhere, something about a court and had brought Dalmatia with, but not the rest. They were stuck within the vale with their father Tiberius, and Euphemia was pouting within the corner. The same old all around ; the pines that breezes and dropped their seeds. The way the owls hovered around the vale, and the vagueness of falcons upon the hunt. The breeze of the herd somewhere nearby, and the smell of overall wolves everywhere so.

"Papa!" Euphemia said, hurdling after @Tiberius with a pout, "I wanna go out too!"

It likely wasn't his proudest moment of being a father, having eyed Euphemia and sighed, arcing his body from her as he opted to try and get away to do a patrol. She hadn't stopped grumbling about the fact she hadn't gone with the convoy to Elsewhen. "Phe," he started as he glanced over his shoulder, watching her small form come bustling after him. "Yer git all tha time in tha world ta go out," Tiberius mused as he paused, peering down at the girl.

"Yer not wanna be 'ere wit' yer Pa, huh?" The titan teased, quirking a silvery brow to her. ^^

"That's playing dirty!" She huffed and puffed, stomping her paws on the ground in that tantrum. He knew she wanted to stay with him ; in-fact the entire litter was a daddy's girl. They all adored their parents, and they stuck to them like glue. They knew that, the sisters knew that, so Euphemia deducted he was playing dirty. Mama always taught them to be kind, and fair, but at the moment the young tundra-wolf did not see that was being fair, and instead a favoritism toward Dalmatia. She wasn't.. Maybe.. Well she was jealous and tried not to blame her sister, really did try. She could feel just a bit of tears forming from her eyes in this tantrum.

"I want to go out! I want to go out too!"

"I dunno wha' yer mean," he played the fool to her though inside he was snorting. She was in a mood, that was for sure, not happy and letting her father know it. Phie stamped her paws on the ground to further her point and her annoyance and Tiberius couldn't help the snort as came to the surface. "Aye, c'mon dove," the titan hummed as he stilled, leaning his head down to her to bump his nose against hers.

She wanted and she wanted, she made that clear but Tiberius wasn't about to give in. No sir. "I ain't takin' yer outside," he started, "bu' yer wann' come an' patrol wit' me?" Tiberius offered as he licked her nose, swiping it up her bridge and trying to mess up the fur of her crown. "I can show yer some good scenery, baby girl," okay, he wasn't giving in but he was trying to placate her.

Sue him. She was one of his babies. ^^

When he leaned down, Euphemia in-fact headbutted instead of accepting such fatherly affection. She felt hurt inside, and wanted to express that outwardly and make him feel how her soul felt — upset, hurt, and feeling controlled and unloved by not allowing to be out about. They all were made to feel special, and sometimes that was difficult when Euphemia and Aurelia were by literally the same in looks, that an indiviuality was a bit of a strangeness. She didn't want to be different then her sibling, almost missing when they were alike, but she liked it at the same time. None of it was a real issue because they were all treated the same, until recently.

"No!" and charged at his legs to bite.

Of course.

Of course!

Despite her sweeter nature, he knew the girl had the ability to be a little spitfire. He just hadn't anticipated it directed at him. "Oi!" The titan exclaimed as she went to bite at his legs, "Euphemia!" Tiberius would lift a paw up to try and swat at her side -- gently as he could -- to try and force her down and apply some pressure to keep her there. "Yer don't bite 'cause yer mad, alrigh'?" Fuck -- was that his genetics that made her like this? It had to be.

Between him and Olive, he was the bitey one. 

He was looking at his own behaviour when he had been a yearling, angry at the world and lashing out. "Yer will get yer turn, Euphemia bu' until then yer will wait patiently. Otherwise yer won't be goin' at all," fuck knows how he was meant to parent when he didn't know what he was doing but damn it all, he was trying. He couldn't reward bad behaviour, right? Right?

"Yer gitta realise tha' yer sister... she's a real good girl, okay, but outta all o'yer, she needs a 'lil more encouragement ta face tha world, yeah? Yer, Aurelia an' Tiberii all look at tha world an' face it. Dalmatia needed a 'lil extra help this time 'round," Tiberius explained quietly, hoping she might understand. "Yer 'elpin' yer sister by stayin' behind this time, darlin'." ^^
