There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
and it's filled with people who are filled with shit!
And the vermin of the world inhabit it!
Adonis opened his eyes at the sound of a woman’s voice, and looked up at her with his strong golden eyes. He frowned for a moment, wondering if she was a telepath, from what she had said was like she was reading his mind. But then everything made sense when she mentioned how he looked. He smirked slightly, before standing and taking the jacket and slipping it on.
“Thank you, but you should probably be finding jackets for yourself instead of being a kind stranger…” He gestured to the small, torn black dress. “I can fix that for you, if you want…” He blinked slightly, pulling the snug coat. There were a few people in shaman who had reached the same level as him, but he was still one of the tallest people there. Excluding Draco though, but he did not exactly hold his height the way Adonis did. Adonis had the ability to make himself seem taller than he was, when he wanted to. He rarely did this though, he did not like to assert authority over people unless he had to.
The wolf man stretched out his hand to Charlotte as she introduced herself. “My name is Adonis and I’m from… Well, Shady Labyrinth is my home now.” He did not like talking about his old home to people…everyone he had told had left him. Everyone but Aura… Then again, she was not exactly around willingly. “The past does not really matter in a place like Shaman, lives before here… they are not forgotten, but you are not judged on them…” He hung his head slightly at the thought. He had been on the list of suspects for Caspian’s murder, because, well, because he had killed before. But that was before he’d come to shaman. So it did not matter now.
At least that’s what he told himself. But it did not stop the dreams. The faces of his mother, and trinity, or his father. It took a few moments for him to realise that he had been standing there looking at her with a rather blank expression on his face for longer than was probably comfortable. “Sorry.” He smiled lightly and ran one hand through his ebony hair. “Got lost in my head for a moment…” The wolf at his feet made a groaning sort of noise and stood up, before sniffing Charlotte and tilting his head, sighed in an oddly human or fairy way.
“Don’t worry… He does that a lot. He was not staring.” He heaved his great muscled shoulders and wagged his tail slightly, putting a ‘happy puppy’ look on his otherwise dangerous and wild face. “My name is Itzal, and I thought that I would introduce myself as Adonis seems to be too dim to do so.” He shot a glare at his fairy and made a slight snap at his knees.
The wolf man grinned at his familiar; he had missed the smart mouthed wolf since the connection had been broken. But now it was back, and they were together again. He did not know if he could stand to be alone much longer.
“Would you like me to fix your dress for you?” Adonis said, his voice soft, not suggestive of anything. Just a simple question. A good deed for a good deed. There was no harm in being kind to someone, especially in the dire situation that they were in. He had to conserve his energy for now, for the colder days, because then he could use his weather control to make the wind stay away from the castle, he just had to wait. If he used up all of his energy too soon, they could end up in a lot of trouble…
