With both of her comments about it being sad and then mentioning shortly after that him and Hecuba were happy with just each other, he would chuckle. I used to have more than your mother as a wife. When I first met your mother, I had other wives that had left. Rather disappointing as it was but I planned to gain more, however something happened and it was either I chose that life or Hecuba and I chose your mother. He would state, and it was a promise he had kept. He would keep until he died; again. Watching her reaction closely, knowing that in truth she wasn't born in a family that did this. He didn't know much about her birth family and it didn't matter; not anymore. I would like to. With all of your siblings, older and younger. He would admit.

his admission comes as a surprise. fang shifts, rolling up to her haunches so she can look at him fully. "really?" she asks, brows lifted and eyes wide. she never imagined that her parents had ever tried to share with anyone else. it seems.... strange. not bad, she thinks; maybe having a group of other lions you were in love with would be wonderful. she thinks it sounds nice, in its own way. @Drakon points out that it was choosing hecuba or the life of having multiple wives and she grins broadly to know that her mother was worth putting aside what he was used to. what his father taught. "i like that choice." she admits.

he admits he would like to find them matches and her face sobers a little. she doesn't really know how to feel about this - and maybe she'll talk to mom later, to help her suss out her true feelings - but it's not... horrible. especially not if it would help the family. she sniffs and nods her head, eyes twinkling. "if it'll help us!" she promises, tail tip twitching in nervousness. "i'll do whatever i can."_{BG — ART: drifty — CODE: dee}

Drakon Tollaire

"Yes really." He would state but even still, Drakon does not let her features go unnoticed when they change. Nudging her softly, the dragon would purr at her. "Don't worry, little one, I'm hoping to find more peaceful families for you and Feyre. Any of my children really, but there are also older families that my father had ties to that I would like to reconnect with." Those were families that even Drakon wouldn't give off @Fang or Feyre to because of their natures. He wasn't blind to it, but his other children oh yes. He'd ship the off to more rougher families to test their abilities too.

she snorts when he nudges her, rubbing her head against his. she wonders about the idea of nonpeaceful families. a little adventure might be nice once in a while but fang can't help but consider if her older siblings - or that their full children - would end up in different families. she does her best not to dwell on the fact that feyre and her were the two he was intending to send off to the soft families. the easy ones, perhaps? where @Drakon's adoptive children couldn't insult or embarrass the tollaire? she winces at her own thoughts and gently shuffles them aside. she knows that's not the case, deep down. she knows her parents love her and feyre just as much as any of their others.

but that little voice never, quite, stops whispering otherwise to her.

"okay, dad." she chirps, nodding her agreement. it's a bit of an odd thing to wrap her mind around but she supposes she's still young. maybe it makes more sense when you're older. and wiser? she wrinkles her nose and snorts in amusement. "long as it's not a stinky old man." fang adds, eyes twinkling._{BG — ART: drifty — CODE: dee}

Drakon Tollaire

If she voiced her thoughts, Drakon would assure her that he was not afraid of being embarrassed by either of his adoptive children. And if she so desired to go off to the families that were more barbarian then he would greatly consider it. But he would chuckle at her words and smirk at her. "I promise it won't be, and you will meet whoever it is before it becomes official. This is as much as your choice as the other." He would admit. Though sometimes - once upon a time ago - Drakon knew that it would not have been like that but @Fang deserved to be happy. Deserved to have that chance to have her happy ending.

she grins brightly at @Drakon. "thanks dad." she purrs, reaching out to bump her head against his chin. she finds her paws, then, and shakes some of the dirt from her too-thick fur and flicks her tail above her hips. "m'gonna go look around, if that's okay?" fangs questions, tiptoeing a few steps away but pausing to peer over her shoulder to wait for his permission. she might be a pseudo-adult but she's a good girl™ and would follow him home if he'd rather. "i'll be back before dark." she adds, sticking her tongue out in a teasing manner. and if he didn't stop her, she'd scamper off into the badlands to poke around and see what there was to see.

Drakon Tollaire

He purred against her affection and returned his own before she voiced about going off and exploring. A large paw came off of the ground as he watched her tip toe away, shaking at her. "Go ahead." He would voice his permission not that he would mind if she went anyways. Though he appreciated her asking for permission regardless of her age. A chuckle forming as Drakon would watch her toddle off to go and explore the lands of the unknown. Pride filling his chest as well as love for his children, even if they weren't related Fang was as much as his as the other's were.
