The call of father figure uno has me getting to my feet at a leisurely pace, taking the time to stretch out and roll my shoulders around like I'm Rocky getting ready to defend my world championship belt. I don't make making them wait. After all, it's not like mom is around to stop it. Oddly, I notice my mother's absence more now. I used to not be so bothered by it. It was just one of those things I grew up knowing, that mom wasn't going to be around so much. I don't see much of my family at all now. I had a spar with Arcadian one day, probably the closest I've ever had to actual family time. I haven't seen Kazier since the last pack meeting though I'm a little disgruntled with my brother since I smelled his scent on Kohaku the last time we met up. What was he doing with her? So many questions and yet it would seem weak of me to voice them. I'm not uncertain enough to actually think that Kohaku would play me for a fool. She knows better. Besides, you don't just proclaim your love for someone and then run around with their sibling. That's just...wrong.
And yet it would be a lie to say I don't feel guilty when I think about being mad at her for something like that. What about Llorana? What about when Kohaku finds out that she's back and questions me? What if she finds out that we were almost inseparable when I was a pup? What if she forbids me from seeing Llorana? I stop myself in my tracks. Psh, what am I talk about? I'm no longer a pup, nor anyone's servant. I do as I please and I'll see who I want to see. Yes, I care about Kohaku more than I've ever cared about anyone but seeing Llorana again has brought old feelings back to the surface and I'm not sure what to do about that, at least not right now. I guess I'll just ride it out for now and see what happens.
I arrive on the scene to a good handful of wolves present. Arcadian of course. I dip my head to him. Kazier, my brother, who also gets a head nod, not that I think he'll notice since he's too busy oogling the older bounty hunter. Good luck with that, bro. She looks like she's a handful. I smirk at the thought, noticing a speckled female I've never seen before and the black guard dog, Devil, at her side. He seems to be enjoying himself. He must know her. I can still make out the fresh scars on his cheek and neck. He seems to be favoring his back leg as well. I heard he went to fight a challenger for mom. He gets a head nod too. Now that I've done the necessary greetings, I turn my attention to the only other wolf at the cleaing besides Kohaku that would draw my attention away. Llorana. She's here and majestic as ever. She stands quietly off to the side as if she doesn't belong. Even her face seems distant, her gaze constantly moving like she's looking for her escape.
I move over to her on swift legs, brushing up against her, my lips flashing a playful smirk.
"Glad you decided to attend. No other plans?"
