sorry for the delay, I am the worst uncle grandpa

He'd seen the drifting swirl of colors on the back of his eyelids as he snoozed away. Day was rising around them, even if it didn't seem to be shaping up to be extremely bright so far. The cloud coverage meant that colors filtered in a haze, sometimes just a dull grey, but then there was a streak of something red, and suddenly Isaiah was awake.

The wind knocked out of him by sheer surprise, Isaiah focused on the shrieking of not only Eden, but Finn also, who encouraged his sister to continue murdering their poor unsuspecting Uncle. She caught his ears, his scruff, she was wild in her attempt, but Isaiah had (for a time, at least) three other littermates to knock his head against to prepare him for such an assault. Cass had never been as rowdy as Auggie or Thad, and neither brother had necessarily been very playful after their family had fallen apart. That didn't mean that Isaiah was a pushover in the slightest bit, and he ducked his head down at the same time he swiftly straightened his back legs, aiming to spill the pup onto the earth.

He was laughing as he twisted to try and knock and nudge her, his mouth open to ensure he didn't bite down too hard on her. Tiberii woulda bulldozed any bit of him that her children left if he actually were to hurt one of them! Two to one isn't fair! He crowed, his tail wagging as the hunter danced a couple of paces away and looked from sister to brother, inviting Finn to join in.
