Hill-Valley

Wilder watched Ash go. He considered following her, helping her stitch herself up, but ultimately turned around and returned to the kitchen. He was still hungry after all. Unlike in wolf form, when his pack sat around the table, there was no hierarchy on who got food first. They didn’t need to wait for him to take the first bite, though some still did. He didn’t mind either way. Humming, he reached over to snatch a piece of bacon off of someone’s plate. They swatted at his hand and he gave them a grin, stuffing it into his mouth.

When he felt something press against his leg look looked down to find a head full of dirty blond curls and bright blue eyes looking up at him. Wilder bent down, picking the two year old up and settling him in his arms. “Hello Pierce. Did you sleep well?”
The child nodded, still sleepy, and wrapped his hands around Wilder’s neck, snuffling against the skin.

“Do you want me to take him, Wilder?” Anna had put her own plate down, approaching with open arms. Wilder shook his head, readjusting the child.

“I’m fine Anna. You go ahead and eat.” It had been a long time since he had spent time with his child, maybe over a week. Anna gave him a smile and picked her plate up again. Pierce was rubbing his nose and chin over Wilder’s neck and shoulder, scent marking. Wilder returned the favor and felt Pierce relax again, settling into sleepily staring about the room.

Ash had finished in the bathroom. Her shoulder was soon stitched and beautifully well, as if she had much practice. She taped a bandage over her wound, to keep the stitches from wearing and from getting dried out. She brushed her fingers through her hair for a moment, staring at herself through the mirror. She was fit, tall, and she had such an attitude appearance. Did she find herself attractive? Not so much. She didn't think much of herself, except that she was a badass when it came to fighting. Her lips formed a slight smirk as she pulled her hood over her head and stretched her arms carefully.

She hurried back down to the kitchen and her eyes settled down on Anna and Wilder. She stepped close to Wilder, her fingers brushing against the back of Pierce's neck before she stood on her toes and pressed a kiss to Wilder's cheek softly. "Good as new." She murmured, before he had the chance to ask about her arm. She looked at Pierce and smiled.

"I brought you something." She whispered, pulling out a bit of black leather. At the middle, was a bound blue stone. It was shaped to a paw print. Something she figured Pierce would enjoy. She held it out in front of the little child, a smile touching her lips.

(OOC: Tagging everyone so this message reaches everyone. I've not been so active as of net due to moving house, net not working and my wireless usage running out since it became our main net so been relying on my 45-min lunch break at college (which sometimes included finishing off work since couldn't work from home as a result) but know that I am back, once I catch up with everything. By the looks of it, Viktor and Mikaela have disappeared, so thinking of maybe time skipping to the action to the four of us that remain with Mikaela watching over Viktor with me NPC'ing their parts as and when sorta thing)
