AU - Flashback: Age 5
Vincent's tiny limbs moved rapidly as he bolted through the forest, robes tearing on branches and occasionally tripping over a root or rock. He righted himself as fast as he could. He threw what meager charms and potions he'd stolen behind him whenever he could to deter his pursuers.

He knew who his father was.

Everyone knew.

Mother was going to send him away.

He was scared. More scared than he had ever been in his brief life.

Hildy could defeat anyone short of Lords Thor or Odin, but the house of Volstagg was too far away. He had only one place to turn.

The voices behind him drew closer as he came into the opening near the den. He took to the hill and threw himself into the entrance to Lady Rahne and Lord Hrimhari's den, framed by the tree's roots. "Lady Rahne! My Lord!" He squealed out a cry for help, out of breath, and already tattered and bruised from his flight.

Vincent scrambles out of the burrow along with the others. His hair, still growing, is tied back now, and he carries a fresh assortment of scrapes and scratches now, his hands calloused. It's not easy for a half-mortal, let alone one without the benefit of lupine form, to keep pace with the pack, but Vincent does his best. The puppies are growing just as fast, so he fights twice as hard.

Along with the others, he throws himself at the figure eclipsing the sun, a grin stretching across his face.

"Hah hah hah! Even the fiercest of these warriors of the Forest cannot topple Volstagg the Mighty!" He waves his arms, more to give the wee ones a lift upwards and down than to shake them loose.

His eyes settle on Vincent and a gleam alights them briefly, as he hefts the boy by his collar. "Lord Hrimhari! There is a strange little wolfling amongst your puppies! This child has no fur!"

	Vincent blushes, awkwardly grappling with Volstagg's thumb and index finger. "I... I have no father in these realms..." He mumbles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah! Such barbs from the Prince of the forest!" Volstagg nods slightly at Vincent's comment. "Aye... so thou wouldst seem to think, little one." He gently puts down Vincent and shakes the pups loose. "My wee champions, I wouldst have words with your father. Run along now and let adults have their boring talks of things ye need not worry of yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hrimhari repeats the need for the puppies to run along, then looks to Volstagg seriously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Volstagg waits until the children have gone, then looks at his friend.

"Hrimhari, the boy will not be a child forever, and he is still born of Asgard. As was the last son of an absent father, he is... the subject of some concern."

The Warrior removes his helmet, rubbing his pate. "Lord Odin requests a decision, sooner than later. If the boy is yours, then he is your responsibility and yours to rightfully protect. He cannot simply stay in your care forever otherwise." He sighs. "This is not news the Lion of Asgard is happy to be the bearer of, but it would not do for one less beloved by the Prince and his pack to carry such tidings."

	Hrimhari listens. He sets a paw on Volstagg's shoulder. "My thanks, Volstagg." He pauses for a moment. "And my Rahne's opinion on this has become quite clear, and I am prepared to share it. The boy is ours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Volstagg does not respond lightly (when does he ever?). He hugs the prince. "My friend, Volstagg the Great expected no less. I will bring your decision to Lord Odin, and whatever more learned words need be said will be said. Go, be with your pack, as I will go assure Hildy that she need not take our lord's other eye from him." (Reply to this)(Parent)
