 I shifted my weight more so as I reclined lazily beside the bank of the river, large form satisfied in this moment as my sizeable jaws parted to lap at the waters that still held so much of winters chill within them. Even despite the coverage of the trees so much of the water still carried shards of ice or traces of frosted droplets that added a true taint of cool to the water. Perhaps it is the blood of the arctic wolf that exists within myself, traces of a heritage older then even Angels I am sure that so takes delight in this added cold. I cannot say and yet I find myself grown content with it all the same as Siren finds her own place along the river bank. I allowed the violet blue of my own gaze to lift, to linger upon her for some moments as she flited about like a shadow. She was a confusing creature, my companion, or perhaps it was simply myself that found females confusing I cannot say. I often wondered if I was inclined to feel…protective of her merely because she was small- in the same way a Mother guarded a child and yet my mind does not see her nearly so incapable nor delicate as a mere puppy. Small she may be, yet I have seen what even the smallest my accomplish if given only the right motivation- or the wrong instigation and as such I am given to wonder so often why it is my chest knots and my throat grows thick at even the mere thought that she may one day seek to return to Iromar- or another pack, perhaps even seek for herself a mate and offspring as nature demands from so many and yet seems so late to press upon myself. I am…displeased at the notion of her seeking a mate, my mind assured she is incapable of finding one…suitable for her, for all that she has seen and for the intricate puzzle that is the framework of her mind that even I still struggle to perceive. It is a futile thought, a jealous one and one I hardly wish to admit I am even capable of feeling, for I can hardly lay claim to her…affections and yet even the thought of another displeases me more than it should. It is a confusing thing, to be grown up- the world as a child was a far more simple thing with a singular goal that was easily followed. To be an adult is a significantly more …adventurous prospect, so many of the desires I held as a child so very different to what it was I desired now. Perhaps I will speak to Eden of them- for he always understood, he was forever a Chosen One, for his mind was quite unlike anything else. Why I found myself grow nervous for her answer I hardly knew, red-rimmed eyes frowning slightly at this own sense almost…skittish within myself before I dismissed it with ease, lips pulled back into a grin to match her own at her willingness to come, til waving a single beat. Good. I would hardly have to worry for her if she was with me and she would not have to pace at the borders until I returned from the mission that has been tasked to myself. “We will hunt on our way then, I would like to visit with Eden and return before the sun peaks within the middle of the sky.” There were other things to be discussed with Eden, things I did not desire Siren partake of hearing and I would need to seek a way about this, though for now the thoughts were cast from my mind, hardly wishing to dwell upon what must be done, on what had been coming for far, far to long and was now readily in place to be carried out. If I had my way, Siren would have no part in it, such knowledge kept from her. She had seen enough blood- she need not see more and I would not subject her too it. My thoughts were brought hurriedly from within themselves by the sudden snarl of another, deep and darkening growls rising within Siren’s throat as I near pivoted in place, each muscle taut and tense within my hulking form as eyes hurriedly sought our attacker this day- heckles rising upon my snowy spine in ready preparation to defend…..though I could neither see nor smell and assailant. Her teeth dive for the water before her, the water that only moments ago she had sipped pleasantly from, my own eyes drawn wide a moment in surprise at this reaction, confusion tainting each feature as lips parted to speak her name- before she lunged more forcefully for an enemy that existed only in her minds eye. The words she shouted were barely audible between the snap of jaws and the gurgle of water as she became near frenzied, a panic of sorts given to rise within my own form. To grab at her and pull her from the water would surely only result in her turning upon myself in her moment of disorientation- my reaction perhaps not…ideal and yet in this moment of growing worry I thought of nothing else save for plunging forward and into the river in a moment to which I am inclined to feel I did not think entirely through, very near soaking Siren with the wave I created, my own form utterly sodden as I sat upright within the water now- replacing whatever image Sire had seen…..with my own form as water ran in rivulets from my thickly furred figure. “I…..do not know why I did that.” For a moment a small grin found it’s way upon my features as I sat within the stream, fur long and dripping now as I regarded her with something of a forlorn expression, searching for sanity within her gaze once more as I struggled to force that grin, crooked now, to stay upon my features and voice to remain as ever calm and easy as always. I suppose I would be visiting Eden wet today. How unfortunate. “Siren?” I waited once more, voice laced with a concern of sorts now as I struggled to perceive her return to the present, whatever image she had seen shattered and destroyed upon my own plunge into the water- although surely next time merely attempting to stop her, else speak to her will achieve a less sodden result, my mind still capable of this single moment of humour in a situation others may be inclined to find…..hardly amusing. I suppose it is just who I was. I have no desire to shame her, to embarrass her. Her mind is….wounded, though not beyond healing- at least, this is how I choose to perceive it. I can only hope in time it will find a way to mend. Words were softly spoken once more, the faintest trace of gentle humour still within them as my muzzle reached to press against her own- reaffirming her hold upon this reality, or so I hoped. “If there is nothing else within the water you desire I vanquish then I think perhaps we should begin our travels to Glorall. Are you alright?” I truly hoped she saw nothing in the ocean upon our arrival there, I had little desire to leap into anything else today…. 41in, 185lbs || Kane x Isola || Brother of Achilles, Sage, Forfax, Haziel, Ariel, Shiloh, Hadrian, Phaedra, Calliel, Evero || Peacekeeper of Taviora |
