Icicle

Icicle's a bit insecure about his family lineage - it's not his fault he's slightly inbred, he knows that, he really does. It's just…he's inbred, and that has certain stigmas that come with it. Icicle couldn't bear it in his home territory, all the neighboring packs' stares, and practically fled to the edges of the world to get away from the trauma he'd trapped in his head. Being here in the Garden of the Gods has been helping him when it comes to accepting his family history, but a part of him worries deep down that he'll always be that stain upon the garden he believed himself to be when he first arrived.

When Icicle brings Aleph a gift with a confident smile, the God of Groves knows that he spent a considerable amount of his time picking the perfect thing. Aleph appreciates it as much as the gift itself.

Aleph finds Icicle carefully inspecting every inch of his nest for bugs, failing to notice the presence of his god.

The God of Groves sees Icicle carefully organizing his belongings, paying little attention to anything else. He doesn't notice his god until Aleph is close enough to press his nose into Icicle's shoulder to get his attention.
