Was she sure? Was Samia really sure she wanted them? Don't get him wrong! They were half-cute, at least, but strange, strange creatures. Especially the new one! Well, kind of new. He had seen her in the distance but he had not expected the second child to join in. Little did he know, of course, that children were...drawn towards other children, like moths to a fire. In any case, she had approached with that same bounding stride that caught him off guard the first time and by damn, she was clever. Of course there mother had never mentioned it but, he figured it like this: if Kalseru was the mother of the pack and they were children of the pack, that made them Kalseru's children too. By extension, that made them related to him - though, it made him their nephew, right? But nephew did not sound wise or important, at all and so, uncle seemd much more appropriate. Uncle Israfel. See? It was plainly logical.

"Distant unlce," he corrected her with a grin of duh! Of course, Dandelion had unknowingly worked as the perfect distraction beause Kricket had been able to skirt behind him without him even thinking of just where she was going - until she took a bite of his tail. He gave a short yelp of surprise as he jerked his head back to look at her, unable to pull his tail away with her teeth so lovingly planted into the thick of his fur (and he was not going to risk a tuft! Samia would definitely freak out if he showed up with a tuft mimssing!) and so, he grinned, so much pressure on his teeth as she kicked at it.

And then - the achilles. He tried to pull away but alas, the child was persistent. And so, it resulted in hims awkwardly dancing about for a moment as he tried to pivot so his back legs were away from her, lifting his paws up especially high to keep his toes out of reach, unknowingly creating the ultimate plaything as his toes dangled, tail flopped about to balance him and his head instinctively lowered (delicious ears!) to try and balance him. And besides...Dandelion was behind him then. "Why are your teeth so sharp!?" He stared Kricket down before he pushed his nose towards her, wide eyed as he attempted to inspect that strangely small mouth and just what kind of demonic sized teeth she was hiding in there.
