Jaws are clenched as sharp teeth grind in his mouth, pricking the tender flesh of his cheeks as the slight taste of iron trickles down his throat. Chest hums as a vibration racks his body, a slow growl leaking from his lips as blackened eyes are locked upon one delicate figure he had shared the womb with. A year, it had been a year since he had last seen his sibling. Though even though his heart stumbles at seeing her again, his body is rigid and on edge. For she isn't alone, several others are close; with one at her side. Gathering for some unseen purpose. And instincts kick in, the only thought in his mind is to protect.

His movement was swift and quiet, bringing him to a standstill behind her back. Massive body swallowing her fragile one as blackened eyes shift to the female at her side, as lips twitch with a need to instil a boundary between them, he refuses for now. Seeing the female posed no threat to her sister, if anything she was oddly excited. He snorts. Stepping forth for a brief moment to push his muzzle into Gormlaith's back. Telling her he was here with her again. As he steps back and watches, hair bristled but face void of any emotions. As he waits, his curiosity is dying with each new face. Too many were here already and he is growing uncomfortable. But never would he leave her alone in such numbers, regardless of his turmoil.
