just give me a sign

I can feel you falling away; no longer the lost, no longer the same
and I can see you starting to break; I'll keep you alive if you show me the way

Shiloh is sure that her parents are proud of her but she wonders if they miss her. Probably not. They had plenty of other things to keep them distracted; how many of their other children had decided they'd have enough family of Diveen? She did not know that Solaris was here nor was she aware of any of her other family - hell she wouldn't know who Solaris was until she met him. Diveen would go to Achilles - his name she had heard of since he was the heir after all - and Calliel would be there to show her training. Guardian would watch over them all as a protector and who the heck knew what the other family would be up to in a couple of years. It really didn't matter truly for she was here now and finding she quite liked it. That might be too because the shy figure in front of her emboldened her spirit; his shyness seemed to make her braver and it served to make him cuter.

It almost made her want to try to play with him just to see how he'd react. She bet she'd get a kick out of how embarrassed he might get. It was not a cruel thought just amusing to her. Back in Diveen she had been nervous simply with being around her family for she always felt out of place, like an added addition that didn't quite fit the puzzle. Like a teen starting college she felt emboldened. Grown and much more adult here in this woodland territory and it had only been a day! Who knew what would happen in the coming years? She looked forward to it.

She ponders his question with a look of intense concentration. It wasn't always true, she guessed, that being a child of an alpha meant they were the heirs. She wasn't sure where she got that idea. It seemed the eldest at home got the gift whether he was suited for it or not. She bet her parents groomed Achilles for the roll for a long time. It seems Amoxtli knows nothing of ruling and honestly he isn't quite forceful enough for the role - but he is young. Time might change the boy before her. She hoped not, though. Even though her heart might be of a darker passion and her spirit a bolder one, she was drawn to the princely boy.

"I don't suppose they have to be heirs. Just depends on what your parents decide I guess. Why, would you like to be a King?" She is teasing now with her eyes crinkled and a grin on her maw; she wanted to see him get flustered. He was cute flustered she bet, just as he was cute now. What the heck was wrong with her? Oh whatever. What did it matter anyways? It was all in good fun!

Only one ear pricks forward, the other held to the side to catch the sounds of the forest, when he tries to speak but ends up mangling the word. Now her grin falls into a frown of uncertainty. What was he trying to say? Did he not know how to talk? Maybe the alpha here didn't teach the wolves how to interact. That would be a shame! Except Amoxtli understood everything she had said and it brought to mind Zeltzin's words to the blind boy upon her arrival - a fluid tongue that she knew nothing of.

She assumed he was trying to say something about Zeltzin being whatever he thought she was. So she takes away some of his frustration with a shrug. "She was polite. Seemed fine to me. Very Princessesly," she adds with another coy smirk. "Do you like Princesses?" Oh she couldn't help but pick fun! If only he could blush she'd try hard to get some rise out of him.

Solaris? Probably a family member, she thinks. "It isn't bad. I'm just related to almost everyone there. It is like... being suffocated, I guess you could say. It is a beautiful place. I'll miss it but here is a fresh chance to be me." It is as open as she feels to go into it for the moment and Amoxtli is already flustered about her asking to accompany him. She giggles, enamored with the stuttering boy. Wagging her tail she nods enthusiastically. "That would be good, Prince. Lead the way, your grace." Okay she was laying it on thick and trying to stifle the giggles that bubbled up in her chest and the twinkling in her eye. She didn't want him to get embarrassed and not want to come around her.
