He knew they were all aging and showing their mortality but he still felt like he was in his prime most of the time. Sekhmet was the warrior among all of them at this point and he admired her for her strength among other things. As he assured her not to worry about him, he could only chuckle as she nipped at him, knowing she meant it in good nature but maybe it was her way of scolding him for telling her what to do. Motherhood had brought out a new side of her and made her worry about her pack and those she considered close. Luckily he was one of those. he'd hate to ever be considered an enemy of the female he would follow through fire. At least she seemed to approve of his idea, telling him to use his talent and his eyes twinkled. "With pleasure." He purred the words with a sly wink. When the subject changed to his daughter, he pricked his ears, his face sobering as he gave Sekhmet his full attention.

She offered to adopt his daughter and his eyes widened in surprise. He dipped his head when she was done speaking. "I would be honored. Nissa admires you and I'm sure she'd be pleased with the arrangement as well. She does visit her mother and think of her but when it comes to a female role model, I believe she has already chosen you to fill that spot." He smirked knowingly. He followed the female's gaze as she looked around them before asking if they could all speak and he nodded. "I'd like that." As she motioned for them to walk, he easily fell into step with her, knowing Nissa was sure to find them soon enough anyway. "Your daughter is very adept at luring and hunting. She is a good actress when it comes to playing with emotions. I couldn't be more proud." He figured she'd want to know that and this way he could let her know he wasn't completely useless. He was teaching her to be an adept killer just like he was.

It wasn't long before he heard the paws to his side. A single ear flicked but he gave no other indication that he knew she was there. Smirking, he looked back at Sekhmet. "So..about the weather..." It was his way of letting her know something was amiss but the look in his eyes should give away that there was no danger to be had. As if on cue, the younger female launched from her hiding place in the trees and landed before them. "Rawr!" She said with a snarl, her fur dancing along her spine as she looked from her father to the large female at his side. For a moment, there was only the look of a hunter in her eyes, a predator. But then her tail started wagging and she grinned as she straightened up. "So?" She looked to her father, who sighed. "Sloppy." Her eyes widened in shock. "How so?!" She rebuked him, falling into step beside him as they continued walking. She dipped her head to Sekhmet out of respect, never knowing quite how to address her but the admiration shown clear as day in her eyes as she watched the exotic female.
