"She seems to be very healthy already.", Phillippe observed. "That's a good sign.". He then sighed as he kissed Gracey on the lips, "How are you feeling right now, my love?".
Silvergrace smiled softly, "All recovered, Lionheart. Shall we go home to the village? I am sure she would want to meet her family officially.", holding Crystalpaw warmly as she caressed her few tufts of hair.
"I was just about to ask if you were good to move at the moment.", Phillippe shook his head. "Crazy how we can think alike sometimes.".
Silvergrace giggled softly, "We're soulmates, my love.", getting up gracefully as she took care closely with Crystalpaw at her side, and Silvergrace kissed Phillippe lovingly on the lips, "Let's go home.", with Crystalpaw cooing happily.
The two of them went on their long walk, with Crystalpaw in her mother's arms as they walked into the village. Of course, the first ones they ran into was Esme and Tristan.
Esme squealed happily, "Is that my niece?!", and Crystalpaw blinked at her in slight surprise as Silvergrace chuckled warmly, "It's okay, sweetheart. It's Aunt Esme, and she is excited to meet you. Esme, say hello to Crystalpaw.".
"She's beautiful.", Tristan said as he looked over his new niece; well, future niece once things were finally settled between him and Esme, but even if not technically, still very much so.
"We thought that ourselves. She's certainly a very hungry girl.", Phillippe chuckled. Crystalpaw giggled, proud of that fact, and Silvergrace smiled, "She loves her sleep as well. She woke up and decided to come during our alone time.".
Esme smiled warmly, "Plucky girl, eh? I hope you control your appetite of yours unlike B.O.B, Crystalpaw.", and Crystalpaw gurgled lightly.
Silvergrace smiled softly, "Oh, she knows better now. I had to give her a bit of help after she got a stomachache from having her first meal.".
Tristan grinned lightly, "She's learning fast. That was a good first lesson to know.", and Phillippe nodded in agreement, "She's a smart sweetheart, alright. So, is Mama and Papa around?".
"They're around.", Tristan told them. "Right now, I think they're somewhere, but we haven't seen them for a few hours.".
"I don't think Papa has gone into labor yet. So, we might be seeing our baby siblings very soon.", Esme said.
Silvergrace activated her T-Rex sense of smell, and she sniffed deeply, speaking thoughtfully, "Scent's faint, but it heads out of the village...that way...to the cornfields.", referring to the time that Doc sent them sweet corn seeds after Silvergrace's parents tried corn since Doc told them that the environment looks quite viable to grow corn and other surface vegetables.
"What on Earth are they doing out there?", Phillippe asked. "Beats me.", Esme told them as they all started to walk away. "We'll show off Crystalpaw to your parents soon, Silvergrace since they went away from the village for a bit... I think to be alone as well.".
Meanwhile, Robert groaned in pain as he held to a trunk of a palm tree, facing the distant cornfield as he stood up, his backside and belly contracting, "Please wait, kids...Your mama will find us.".
Robert and Susan came here because the twins were hungry for berries, and the berry bushes laid horizontally to the cornfields, but they got off guard when a large threehorn with a young baby came through crashing with a large pack of velociraptors hunting after them.
In all the chaos, Robert fell on his side by accident when he was watching out for the pack, and it broke his water, leaking out fluids and blood, attracting the pack. Susan became like a lioness once again, protecting Robert by leading the pack away, and telling him to go to safety.
He tried to heed her orders, but he couldn't go further when the contractions became painful, hence being stuck where he is.
"Come on, you two... just be patient with me for a little bit longer... I know you want to be born, but come on...", Robert told them as he kept himself from collapsing as best as he could.
A voice calls out for him, and Robert recognizes Esme's voice, "Esme, over here!", before groaning out in pain as another contraction came, praying that Susan's not lost.
The group soon arrived as Robert kept himself pinned as the others closed up. "Papa! What happened?", Phillippe said as they gathered around.
Robert panted between contractions, "Stampede of velociraptors chasing threehorns. Had fall, they smelled water and blood breaking. Susan went to lead and fight them off. Trying to hold back for Susan.".
Phillippe blinked in surprise as Silvergrace put Crystalpaw in his arms, "I'll track her down. You stay with your father, help him. He will have to push.", before leaving the group, and shifting into her T-Rex form.
"Yeah, I've been trying, but these two really aren't waiting for their mother. They just want to be born now.", Robert chuckled as he moaned again as he felt another contraction.
Esme held his hand in comfort, "Papa, you heard Silvergrace. You have to push.", and Robert heard the insistent tone in her voice and nodded as he slid down the tree into a squatting position, his back resting on the trunk while his other hand grabbed his manhood, holding it back against his waist.
He groaned as another contraction came, and took a deep breath before he pushed, barely hearing Esme tell Phillippe to trade places so she could look and catch the first baby eventually, feeling Esme's hand leave his, with Phillippe's hand heading into his hand.
"I'm trying to hold them back for just a few more moments, Susan's nearby, I know it, I can feel it.", Robert gasped. "Come on, you two, I know you're rushing but just give Papa one extra minute, alright? Just wait until your mother is here, then charge out if you want to.".
Phillippe told him softly, "If you need distraction for a minute, have a look at your granddaughter, Papa.". Robert calmed for a moment as he got a good look at Crystalpaw. "Phillippe, Silvergrace... she's beautiful.", he smiled as he felt another contraction. "I think they can feel their niece nearby.".
Phillippe smiled softly, "Her name's Crystalpaw.", before hearing his mate's familiar roar, and the group looked over to see Silvergrace in her T-Rex form guiding Susan back out of the forest, with Susan mostly fine with a couple of deep scratches.
Silvergrace shifted back to human as Susan ran to the group, panting lightly, "A couple managed to scratch me with their sickle claws, but they got scared off thanks to my strength. Did I miss anything?!".
Esme called out, "He's already stretched out, come on, Papa, you gotta push!", and Robert, grabbing Susan's hand, and pushed, yelling out in pain. Esme nodded, "Yes, Papa, you got it! Oh, I see something! Oh, shit! The baby's breech! I see its feet!".
The accidental fall caused one of the twins to tumble around and became breech with feet first down the birth canal while its sibling is waiting, being headfirst.
"Don't worry, I've got her!", Tristan said as he got his hands on the baby girl's feet. "Just keep pushing, Mr. Murphy, we're already getting there.".
"I know... I can let them go now.", Robert chuckled as he groaned in pain once more. "Mama's here, you two, come on, you want to be born so bad? I'm not holding back now!"
Susan nodded, "That's it, Robert. We got a baby girl, push hard!", and Robert yelled out as he grunted, pushing as hard as he could, feeling the baby slide out more before crying out as he felt the shoulders catching on the walls of his temporary vagina, tears stinging his eyes, "It hurts!".
"We know, Robert. It hurts, but it'll be over very quick!", Susan told him as he kept going and trying to breath.
Robert nodded tiredly as he took a deep breath and pushed, screaming out in pain as the shoulders and head of his daughter stretched out his walls beyond limits, hearing Tristan laugh loudly, "I got her, I got her!", just as Robert felt a pop, and then the sound of his daughter became known by wailing out loud, sounding upset that she hurt her daddy in being breech.
Robert exhaustedly couldn't hold his squatting position anymore as he panted heavily, his hands landing ahead of him as he went on his knees, and Susan went down to his level, "Robert?", looking concerned.
Robert looked at her, "Is Dawn okay? Nothing wrong with her physically?", with anxiety in his eyes. "No, she looks very healthy.", Tristan smiled as he handed the baby off to Susan. "Dawn seems to be all good for the time being.".
"Good.", Robert gave a small sigh of relief as he felt the pressure building up again. "Aw, jeez, here comes her little brother now!".
Robert got on his side while he pushed Dawn's placenta out, and Silvergrace handed him a vine. He smiled gratefully as he tied the vine around his waist, holding up his manhood this time without a hand holding it, and he got up on all fours, his backside facing the group, feeling more fluids going out of him as he felt his birth canal being filled up by his son.
Susan held tightly into his shoulders, "You can do this, my prince.", and Robert took a deep breath before he pushed, grunting in pain every moment as the baby moved slowly at first, sensing Robert's exhaustion, not wanting to make his daddy scream out in pain like his sister did.
"I know, I'm starting to handle it better now.", Robert assured her. "Mostly having one has gotten me used to it now. Plus, since it's almost over... can anyone see his head yet?", he asked the group.
Silvergrace and the rest of the family watched anxiously before Phillippe called out, "It's stretching out.", a minute passing before Silvergrace grinned, "I see hair! He's crowning!".
"Come on, son... you're almost there." Robert groaned as he gave another push to try and get his final twin out of him. "Susan, do you think I'm taking this better than you or worse?" He tried to joke through the pain.
Susan chuckled softly, "Probably both, my love.", and Robert laughed bittersweetly as he felt his son's head passing through, calling out, "Someone got him?", with Susan seeing Silvergrace move forward, kneeling as she cradled the baby's head, "I got him, Robert! Keep pushing!".
Robert clenched hard into the grass as he gave out a hard push, knowing the shoulders are the hardest part, and he yelled out in pain as he felt his walls stretching out to fit his son's shoulders.
"Come on... come on...", Robert was saying to himself as he could feel the almost quick release of his son finally breaking through and finally coming out. The pain finally stopped as Robert could finally relax. "Oh God...", he muttered as he started to calm down.
"I got our little brother, Papa.", Esme chuckled as she looked him over. "Aw, he's so cute.". Silvergrace chuckled warmly, "Hello, Calvin. You and your slightly older sister sure gave your daddy a bit of trouble, eh?", and Calvin snuffled before he cried out to Dawn who's within Susan's arms, and Dawn babbled right back.
Susan laughed softly, "I think Calvin's giving a lecture to his sister.", as Robert rolled over, resting his back on the tree as he gave one last push for Calvin's placenta, and his temporary vagina disappearing into nothing as Phillippe shifted his hand into claws, cutting both of his siblings' cords from the placentas.
Robert smiled shakily, "I don't blame him as Dawn didn't mean to be breech in the first place.", before Dawn gave out a whimper, reaching out for him, and Susan smiled lightly as she gave Dawn to Robert, putting her in his arms, "Have a look at our daughter, my love.".
Dawn has Susan's vivid blue eyes, Robert's dark tan skin tone, Susan's smile, and Robert's nose, and of course, the usual platinum silver hair in a few curly tufts. Robert smiled warmly, "Hello, Dawn Serenity Murphy. I guess you're sorry about the breech thing, hmm?", and Dawn gurgled with a gummy smile before leaning over to latch into Robert's feminine breast nipple, starting to suckle.
"Surprised she didn't go for those sooner the moment she came out.", Tristan chuckled. "Hey, Mama, you think you can still give milk or is that not the case since you haven't been pregnant for a few decades?", Esme asked. "You know, just in case Papa needs a break and all.".
Susan chuckled, "Doesn't hurt to see. Hand Calvin over, darling.", and Esme, having Calvin in her arms thanks to Silvergrace, nodded, and handed Calvin to her mother, "Are you hungry, Calvin?".
Calvin went to latch into one of her nipples, and went to suckle, but gave out a protest as he didn't taste any milk, and Susan chuckled, "That proves your point now, Esme.", before smiling at Robert, "Got room for one more?".
Robert adjusted Dawn slightly and nodded as Susan handed Calvin into his other arm, and Calvin immediately latched into his other breast nipple, and squealed happily as he tasted milk, and went to suckle vigorously.
Robert chuckled warmly, "Well, you sure are hungry, Calvin Lexis Murphy. You look uniquely handsome, my brave boy.", and Calvin's eyes blinked up at him, one eye luminous green with the other eye a bright amber brown.
His skin tone is almost tan, a shade lighter than Robert's skin tone, but a shade darker than Susan. He has gotten his smile, and dimples from his grandfather, Jonathan, and his nose took after Susan's nose.
"He's certainly another unique looking one.", Robert said. "Different color eyes, that's certainly a rarity.".
"Indeed. It's even rarer down here.", Silvergrace pointed out. "Think that might have something to do with the Quantonium? I mean, with all our history with it, it certainly feels like that could be the case.", Phillippe suggested.
Susan smiled, "Oh, Phillippe, we all have been infused with Quantonium for over 20 years. It's no doubt that Calvin's eyes are unusually bright because he has been born with it.".
Dawn gave a protest-squeal, and Robert chuckled softly, "Oh, don't worry, you are unique too, my little miracle.", and Dawn gurgled happily against his nipple, still sucking down more milk, just like Calvin.
Crystalpaw gave out a whine as she watched her baby aunt and uncle eating, and Silvergrace chuckled softly, "Hungry again, sweetheart?", with Phillippe adjusting her up to Silvergrace's breast, and Crystalpaw squealed happily as she latched into the second breast, knowing somehow to give the first breast a break from being used earlier in Crystal Cove.
Susan cooed as she gasped, "Oh, gods, is that my granddaughter?", a bit upset that she was so distracted with supporting Robert for the birth of the twins.
"Surprised you didn't see Crystalpaw sooner, Mama.", Esme chuckled as Phillippe handed her to his mother. "Be gentle with her, Mama, I don't think we want to overwhelm her with so many new faces all at once.", Phillippe warned her.
Susan smiled, "Apologizes for interrupting your meal, baby girl, but look at you...You're beautiful... Crystalpaw, it fits you perfectly.", and Crystalpaw gurgled as her tiny hand caught into her grandmother's nose, a giggle escaping her.
"That's right, we have the same nose.", Susan chuckled warmly as she gently caressed Crystalpaw's cheek, and Silvergrace spoke up, "I and Phillippe was rather hoping that you'd help us out with her middle name, Susan.".
Susan looked at Silvergrace, smiling brightly, "Oh, I'd be glad to do that!", before gazing with a loving smile upon her granddaughter, "Well, you are bright and outgoing already...Oh, dear, I am stuck between two names...Sydney or Rose.".
"I'm all for Rose, that sounds a bit more fitting with her. A rose-colored crystal.", Phillippe chuckled at the idea of it. "I think that's pretty good for her too.", Esme pointed out.
"Really?" Tristan looked to his mate. "I guess I was the only one thinking Sydney would work better. It's your daughter of course, Phillippe."
"You're right it is.", Phillippe chuckled at his brother-in-law. Esme whispered to Tristan, "After college, we could have a Sydney someday.", and Tristan blushed softly with a smile.
Susan smiled warmly at her granddaughter, "Crystalpaw Rose T. Rex, what do you think?", and Crystalpaw cooed happily before whining with a hand reaching for Silvergrace, "Oh, yes, right, you're still hungry.", walking slightly before handing her to Silvergrace's arms, "There you go, baby girl.".
Crystalpaw happily latched into Silvergrace's breast once again, suckling hungrily as Robert kissed Calvin and Dawn on the forehead while they're still focused on their lunch.
Phillippe chuckled lightly, "Boy, we gonna be busy with those rugrats.", teasing slightly with a smile. "See, not so crazy with us wanting to plan a bit more ahead then? Huh?", Tristan teased which earned him a slap on the arm from Esme, "I'm kidding.".
"He's got a point. Three right now is, I think, enough for the time being. Besides, I think we're going to have more issues with Bea when she finally has hers.", Esme said.
"From the scent of it, she might have just more than two.", Silvergrace explained. Phillippe pointed out, "Don't forget your little brother, Silvergrace. Stormfire is sure that he's bound to come sooner or later this week.".
Robert chuckled warmly, "All the same, I think we should stay a bit longer to make sure the twins are strong enough to come home, maybe three days?".
Susan smiled softly, "Safer is better. But I think Esme and Tristan can go home ahead of us, hmm?".
"We certainly should wait until those bre-asts of yours deflate, Papa.", Esme said. "Don't want Grandma and Grandpa to ask too many questions.". "That is true.", Robert nodded.
Susan frowned lightly, "My milk ran out shortly after six months upon your first year, Esme and Phillippe.". Robert nodded, "That's right, I remember that you were quick on weaning off, and you were able to eat solids slowly by that time.".
"I guess we'll just have to see and all in the next few days then.", Esme sighed. "At least Tristan and I will have the least number of questions."
"Yeah, camping out on Quantonium, easily explained.", Tristan smirked. Silvergrace felt a tug on her hair, and glanced down at Crystalpaw, "You done, sweetie?", and Crystalpaw snuffled with a yawn as she looked at her mother.
Silvergrace smiled softly, "You wanna sleep on Daddy?", and Crystalpaw cooed quietly as she blinked sleepily, and Silvergrace gently handed Crystalpaw to Phillippe, adjusting her against his shoulder and arm as she nestled against his chest, immediately falling asleep.
Esme smiled warmly, and spoke quietly, "I think that's our cue to get home. The crib at the house is sure to be more comfortable than a human chest, no offense, Phillippe.".
Phillippe smirked, "No offense taken. You okay to get up, Papa? They're sure looking close to finishing up on you.".
"Yeah, I should be good now. I know now what you mean, love, when you mentioned being weakened as they drained on the Quantonium. Moment Calvin came out, I felt good as new.", Robert said as he stood up.
Susan exhaled in relief, "So, it's basically the same for everyone of this family and the village. Boy, other people are sure to be jealous, but hey, we don't care...After all, that jerk ass Derek Dietl was broke when he died three years ago...Thank God that he didn't catch a woman all that time. I'd hate to see spoiled brats like him.".
"He made his own bed and laid in it, no need to ever really think about him again.", Robert reminded as he placed a hand on Susan's shoulder, while still holding to the twins with one, "Whoa, easy, you two... you don't want to get too full now.".
Calvin babbled to Dawn, and Dawn snorted as Calvin laid back, full and sleepy, reaching for Susan with a quiet squeal, and Susan smiled, "You want to sleep, my darling boy?", taking him out of Robert's arm, and resting him against her side and shoulder. Calvin yawned and nuzzled deeply into Susan's warmth, falling asleep.
Dawn, being a bit more stubborn, is still suckling, though she's slowing down, wanting her daddy to keep having more milk for next time and beyond. Robert smiled reassuringly, "Take your time to be stronger, my little sun. You were sure scared about being breech, huh?".
"I think Crystalpaw took it better than all of them. She only cried for a second before she calmed down.", Phillippe said.
"Seems like she was very calm then.", Esme responded before she gently rubbed the hair on her niece's head. "Aw, aren't you so adorable?".
Crystalpaw snuffled in her sleep, and Silvergrace chuckled softly at Crystalpaw in Phillippe's hold, "She loves her sleep. Shall we have a late lunch for us adults? We could put the little rugrats in the crib.", before starting to walk in a slow stroll.
"Oh, I'm in a real need for food.", Robert said. "After all, I've been having to feed for 3 for months and now I get to eat for myself again.", he chuckled.
And so, the bigger family went on, heading for the village, glad to have new members in the family at last. A day passed, and then Stormfire came into labor at sunset after dinner.
"So, it's official, with our families, the nieces and nephews are older than their aunts and uncles... when born around the same time here." Tristan chuckled as everyone was with Stormfire.
Bea smiled as she sat upon a bench with her lovers, her belly quite big, like quadruplet baby belly size, yet she knew she's carrying multiple eggs, from the feel of it, "Indeed. Free love down here is unconditional.", while observing Stormfire who's resting against the fountain, with Thunderwolf supporting her from behind, with Silvergrace nearby.
The family was aiming to have a relaxing time in the clearing while Crystalpaw and the twins are sleeping in the crib as dinner has made them sleepy. And of course, Stormfire commented that her son wanted to show off.
Some distance away from the clearing with the fountain is the entire village, and they are so excited and anxious for the birth of their new royal. Oh, Crystalpaw is considered to be the heir to the throne long after Silvergrace and Phillippe is to rule over the village one day, but it's a choice for her to choose the responsibility of being chiefess years and years in the very far future after Silvergrace and Phillippe has the chance to retire, yet if she doesn't want to be the chiefess, then Thunderwolf and Stormfire's son would be chief if he wants to be.
"Well, I have to say, this feels really nice right now." Robert said as he and Susan nuzzled close together. "Just a calm day in paradise now with the babies all born now. Well, except for yours Bea... which is going to be quite a bit of a mess when they're finally born."
Bea smiled, "Indeed, we will have quite a brood of children once they hatch, but I am only laying their eggs sooner or later. I don't know how many, but it will be a lot.".
Susan smiled, "In a way, you're just like a dinosaur, but different since you're part butterfly.", hearing Stormfire's groans over the contractions as Silvergrace, being the big sister, is checking on the progress of Stormfire's vagina.
Silvergrace nodded, "You're getting close to the time you'll have to push, Mother. Perhaps two minutes more.", and Stormfire spoke roughly, "Thank you, daughter. Let me know when you say so.".
"It shouldn't be as bad since it's your second one and all, you kinda know the experience which I feel helps." Tristan said. "Of course, I don't know, I haven't gotten experience."
"Play your cards right, love...", Esme whispered as she kissed him on the cheek. Tristan smiled sheepishly with a slight nod as Phillippe hummed lightly, "Actually, it's technically Stormfire's first one. Thunderwolf gave birth to Silvergrace, remember?".
Tristan chuckled nervously, "I forgot that. Boy, could you imagine the size of the book if the pages are filled up of all those stories down here over the centuries?".
Esme whistled in thought, "That'd be thick as heck.", before Silvergrace called out, "You're ready to go...Now!", and Stormfire tucked her chin in as she pushed, her back arching into Thunderwolf's chest.
"Come on, love, you're doing well, you've got it.", Thunderwolf assured her as everyone stayed close as she continued to go through the labor.
"Just deep breaths, that's how you do it. From one mother to another.", Susan smiled as she kept holding Stormfire's hand.
Stormfire took deep breaths as she kept pushing, and this continued for a few more minutes before Silvergrace called out with a wide smile, "I see hair. My little brother's crowning!".
Stormfire began to cry happily as she took another deep breath, and pushed, gasping out in surprise as his head squeezed out of her vag-ina, and Silvergrace gently grasped his head, turning him slightly, "You got it, Mother! Push as hard as you can for his shoulders!".
Stormfire yelled out in pain as she gave a hard push, feeling the shoulders stretch her walls, and Silvergrace gently popped his shoulders out as Stormfire kept pushing, feeling his body follow through, and a moment later, the baby boy wailed out his first breaths of life as Silvergrace swiftly cut his cord with a shifted claw.
Stormfire gave out a sob as she pushed out the placenta, "He sounds so loud!", recovering slowly as Thunderwolf kissed her on the cheek with a tearful smile, "You did it, love. We got a boy.".
Silvergrace smiled wryly as she cradled her little brother, "Hello, my little noisy brother.", and her little brother hiccupped as he blinked up at his big sister. While Silvergrace looks much like her mother with her father's smile and eyes, her little brother looks so much like their father, with their mother's nose and smile.
Stormfire called out, "Daughter, let me have my son.", and Silvergrace nodded, "Yes, Mother.", walking around Stormfire's legs and kneeling to pass over her little brother into their mother's arms.
Thunderwolf exhaled happily, "He got your nose and smile, my dear Stormfire.", and Stormfire chuckled softly, "He looks like you, beloved Thunderwolf.".
"He looks so perfect, you two.", Susan congratulated them along with the rest of the family. "Have you two thought of what you're going to name him?", Robert asked.
Stormfire looked thoughtful and whispered to Thunderwolf which only their son could hear, and Thunderwolf smiled with a nod, and gestured warmly as he moved around Stormfire.
Stormfire handed their cooing son into his arms, and Thunderwolf leaped into the fountain wall, "My people, my family, today, I give the name of my son, and so he shall be called by the name of Echopaw!", firmly holding his son up for all to see.
The village went wild, cheering and bowing as they celebrated his son's name, and Echopaw gurgled with a gummy smile, enjoying the attention.
"I swear, I don't think I'll ever get used to the cheering and such for these events.", Tristan pointed out. "Yeah, they act like their team won the Super Bowl every time.", Esme chuckled.
Silvergrace smiled, "It isn't every day a royal heir is born, even in two days straight. We have already so many warrior ceremonies and mating ceremonies, many common births and many deaths, a birth of a royal heir is technically rare down here since we live so long.", referring to Crystalpaw's announcement yesterday in the moment before lunch in the village.
"True, but it feels like the celebrations all kinda blend together you know?", Susan spoke. "We'll get used to it eventually, I'm sure.", Phillippe told her. "Well, maybe more me since I'm staying down here.".
Robert grinned, "Don't forget about vacationing down here once in a while, thanks to the teleporter.".
"Yeah, but you won't be dealing with the celebrations as often.", Phillippe chuckled. "We'll still keep in as much touch as possible as we can.", Susan said. "We don't want to say goodbye to our son for too long.".
"Mama, you've got two more that you can focus all your attention on now.", Esme pointed out.
Susan nodded, "True, Esme.", smiling as Thunderwolf handed Echopaw to Stormfire, almost instantly going for her breast, hungry as he gave out a loud squeal of happiness, "I have to admit, his name fits him good. Echopaw.".
Silvergrace chuckled softly, "Well, Loudpaw is a bit too much on the nose, so Echopaw is more fitting for him as he echoes his call of any attention-grabbing sound.".
