How long had it been since he had been here? His father had been his only company for quite a while, and it felt nice to finally have a home again. It seemed that for so long they were traveling, trying to find the rest of their rather large family. Kipp was still a bit young, but he knew that Mother never let her lovers stay around long. He shuddered as he thought of what could possibly happen to them. Pushing those thoughts away he focused instead on the happiness he felt at the fact he was home, surrounded by his brothers and father. It was strange to know that Archi and Evers were actually leaders! Kipp didn't know if he could ever be a leader, it didn't really suit his tastes. He didn't want to give up his special connection with the Earth, didn't want to have to sacrifice this special time that he was experiencing and bathing in right in that moment. Plus leading an entire herd? Having every decisions outcome fall on your shoulders and be your responsibility? Sure, Kipp would love to have an important role in the Foothills, but he would never wish to be a leader. He valued friendship too much to ever be able to detach himself at times from his subjects. Happy exploration ended when a rather familiar scent intruded on his senses. Mother. She appeared from the darkness that somehow managed to remain between the trees, and Kipp wished he could shrink or run away. Her voice was cutting, and he knew that tone well. Uh oh... But Kipp knew how to handle Mother, at least a little. "I've been traveling with Father, Mother. We didn't know how to find you for a long time..." Eyes awkwardly moving away, to show submission. It wasn't technically his fault, he'd merely been following his father. Not that he wanted Father to be punished either! It was all a matter of coincidence. Hoping to appeal to his mother he turned and gave a tiny smile, knowing better than to look too joyous. "It's nice to be back, Mother." |
