Coaxing those kittens from the forms of those crying children had become far easier for the ebony feline as he, in a fashion, only continued to grow into that role of Alpha. The panther was content to trail behind Nadya and her children as his sibling carved out a spot within the forest she alone deemed safe. Tetradore himself found it all too easy to flop whole heartedly into the lush blades of grass that so surrounded him, the cat finding perhaps the one spot the sun shone warmest upon to so effortlessly recline within. He was, as always, aware entirely of the spotted leopard at his back, his best friend nearly entirely upside down as they so enjoyed that radiance from the fiery star. His jaws parted, flashing those sharpened ivory canines in a perhaps over exaggerated yawn before his large head settled so contently upon his front paws. His half-opened emerald eyes so settled upon his nephew, watching in silence as the boy so nibbled upon the blades of grass in a wholly oblivious fashion. The were-king's attention shifted only at the sound of his sibling's voice, calling for Tobias to catch them something to play with. A soft groan left the panther's parted jaws if only due to the absence of Tobias' figure at his side brought a sudden breeze around his figure. The jungle cat certainly despised the change in weather, autumn was fast approaching, pushing away every ounce of warmth he so adored.

His head rose ever so slightly from his laying position, the man watching with regret as Tobias loped off in order to so satisfy his sister's request. A soft huff left his lips, the male turned his attention back towards the child he had apparently been tasked to watch, only to find Nadya closing the little space that existed between them in the clearing. Her form press along side him, her head tipping under his in a minute display of affection. Tetradore was all too aware of that rumble within her chest, his own head slid alongside hers in a nuzzling caress. "Think nothing of it." He offered her softly in a way of response to her appreciation. After all, Tet was wholly assured that this was his responsibility rather than a simple nicity bestowed upon his sibling. The moment, however, was altogether fleeting before the young mother once again resumed her ever constant fretting on the location of her children. The man's cranium slowly once again floated to an entirely lackadaisical position upon his front paws, his emerald eyes indifferently watching the kitten and his blades of grass once again.

It was only the scent of another drifting upon the breeze that so tugged at his attention, his ears swiveling alert upon the top of his head and slowly, he lifted his nose, sniffing at the air that so surrounded him. The cold front came in next, the wind holding with it a glacial touch that he so utterly despised and yet, it was perhaps only his recent run in with the very woman that so saw that memory flicker across his mind. He knew well whom this was. He could feel that brush of Tobias' mind against his, so informing him that he was going to find the source of this very scent, wherever the girl happened to linger amongst the trees. The male yawned, slowly stretching the kinks out of his body as he shifted to settle upon his haunches. His paw reached out in the same unhurried fashion, drawing his nephew closer towards his body, all the while his emerald eyes found that familiar of his sister as she so retreated to his side, his name echoing within his head. "It is fine, Nadya." He uttered simply, his gaze tracing the periphery of the gathering they so occupied. Those images of the Tigress so danced through his mind as she came ever closer, helping him to distinguish her direction. "Let her come." He responded simply to Tobias, stepping away from his sibling and her two children if only to be the first barrier should things go far more awry than he anticipated.
