Bren was worried that as the first lone pup born to the tribe that he might be unhealthy. But he was very much the opposite, growing large and fast. At only a year old he was nearly the size of his eldest brothers. Despite this, in his development, Bren tried to coddle him but Elrid would push her away. He had heard arguments between Bren and Vasilio about him possibly being the last heir to be born and he wasn't sure what to think of that. He much preferred taking care of himself, how could he take care of the whole tribe? Uncertainty grew and grew until news came around that Bren was expecting a new litter of pups! Perhaps he was in the clear.
