I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING
Thinking about family is hard right now. The meteor had taken so many away, and Jaidah had taken Jumanji. Covet was the only one Cobryn had been able to hold onto, and the only others he knows are alive are the two that hate him. Risk, who he isn't able to fix things with, and Mockingbird who had tried to kill him. It's a sad thing to deal with, and it makes him so unsure as if he wants to think of family in the way he once had. They had meant everything to him, and yet now he had finally come to realize that they seemed to hurt him the most. Always. For as much as he wanted to do for them, as much as he loved them, it all came back to cause him pain. He doesn't know if he could go through anymore. He doesn't have the interest to think about trying again. It had effectively destroyed and Winter inclined impulses that had once ran so potent through him. Now there was only that subtle underline current that was based entirely on feeling instead of primal urges.

He wants to leave the past behind him. Whatever is not in the here and now did not need to be in his future. It is only Enigma he wants, and in deep down places Cobryn is glad Jaidah had left. Not the way she did it or the fact that she took Jumanji away, but it never felt right to be with her. There was always something wicked there that crept into his mind when he was with her. Things he shouldn't think or want to think. Stuff he shouldn't have done or want to do. He had stepped over lines for her, and he hadn't been true to himself in doing so. Cobryn hadn't been enough of himself as he had thought. He had let himself believe Jaidah accepted him for all that he was, and yet even she had tried to change him; to add things instead of take away or alter. It was no different from what Apollymi or Lurid had tried to do, not when Cobryn actually let himself see it for what it really was. Enigma had been the only one to truely accept him. To be there through all of his trauma. To be here for him now and not push or prod him to be anything else. But Cobryn wanted to get better for her. She deserved so much more.

Cobryn twitches at the sound of Enigma's name being called, but he doesn't move at all. His eyes sway to catch the approach of the other wolf, but his focus is once again returned to Enigma when her nose touches his cheek. It causes a soft, rolling sound in his throat that bespeaks the comfort he finds in the simple touch. Yet again he finds himself distracted by the other wolf -- Sulan -- and he pulls his own nose away from Enigma to give a respectful dip of his head to what he now knows to be the alpha of this pack; Glorall. Funny name, but maybe he just misses the old names. He listens as Enigma speaks, gives the answers that Sulan seeks. The ear closest to Enigma moves to cup towards her after her introduction of him; the hesitation. "I am hers." He adds. "I love her." There should be no mistakes made as to his meaning, regardless of any title Enigma wants to claim. If she just wants friendship, then that's okay with him. It didn't change how he felt.
