His concern for the injured she well very near sees him oblivious to the almost snarky response from Achilles, Guardian, perhaps- not having considered that his oldest companion may well be feeling jealous over the attention Guard had fixated upon Aviias. Achilles had a mate, children, Vega, Emil, Atlas and Paravanna forever watched over by the leggy black and red boy with the same love and care Achilles himself offered, Guardian never truly having felt jealous over Achilles family although for many years now some part of him had….desired that, something, someone, to call his own, to be just for him and no other- someone to share a den with a night and as such it had never occurred to the quiet, polite young male that Achilles may ever find anything to envy about himself, the tone of the white Alpha’s voice causing a moment of distraction as eyes of azure and molten gold fall upon his chosen leader now with a slightly scowl in response to the sarcasm of his voice, genuine surprise resting upon his handsome features.

“ ’Chilles , this ain’t bein’ time for ya jokes, Cousin.”

For surely it was a joke of sorts, Achilles perhaps attempting to lighten the mood though in this moment Guardian is assured it is not wholly appropriate, his scowl falling into an easy grin all the same- his good nature emerging well before any sense of irritation. After all, his cousin had surely only been trying to help and there was no harm in such a thing as that, the towering, leggy black warrior freely offering the information in regards to his last meeting with Aviias and the hug with which he had been bestowed- perhaps his most significant interaction with any female not his mother or sister to date. There is a certain amount of trust within Guardian for his companion, his belief in Achilles unfaltering and unwavering, it had always been so, ever since their childhood days and as such he takes much of what his Alpha offers with great seriousness, the tease within Achilles words perhaps not wholly picked up upon as those eyes of blue and gold draw wide once more at his cousins mention of a wedding.

“I ain’t asked her ta marry me and be me mate, Cousin, I only just met her eh? She’s ma friend, she gave me one of dem hugs, I tink maybe she just likes me ta be her friend, she dun wanna marry me.”

How one truly became mates with another is something of a loss to the young warrior regardless and yet he is assured, on some level, that it requires more then a single hug offered once within the confines of the forest and while it was surely a lovely gesture, and one he is unlikely to forget he is sure, almost, that friends is the result of that interaction. It is fortunate perhaps, that Aviias manages to pull herself into consciousness at that moment, his name barely whispered upon her lips as Achilles muzzle pressed into his shoulder, nudging him forward to lean over his fallen friend ever so slightly in an effort to assure himself her eyes had opened once more as Neveah left. Well- at least he knew where Hyrule got his sass from. Neveah wasn’t all that friendly for an Angel. The words Aviias struggles to offer however see his attention fixated upon here again, the frown upon his young features darkening only further. Wants to attack Angels? Aviias was not Angel- but having spent a single day with him was enough to attack?

“Covet attacked ya? Dat guy dats kinda grey with dem black eyes?”

Covet, after all, was the only wolf stupid enough to attack someone for a near non-existent reason, perhaps Aviias had said a word he had found offensive, perhaps he had taken his disdain for Guardian himself to a whole new level in an effort to bring about his deluded understanding off….whatever it was he seemed to think Guardian had done. The mention of Amir however, seemed to derail any further belief that this attack had been offered by the deluded black eyed male whom had recently be beaten down by the Spirane Queen for his latest ridiculous efforts to do whatever it was he seemed to think he was doing while rapidly achieving nothing more then a reputation as Moladions biggest loser. Deluded Covet might be, but he had never prattled on about Amir, another wolf with no Angelic connections outside of simple association (though that was apparently a crime to some as well), Guardian’s head given to tilt ever so slightly in confusion as Achilles asked for further information.

“Dat wolf….dat wolf dat killed Sulan and attacked dem others when we moved to Spirane, he said something ‘bout Angels too and Amir, at least I tink he did, dat’s what Isola said. Hyrule- ya needa talk ta Hyrule, reckon he’d know, Cousin. I dunnoa enough of dat story. Hy will.”

It is rare truly, to see any form of anger upon the boy, Guardian a truly peaceable creature by design and yet….there is an anger now, somewhere within him, an irritation that sees his red-tipped tail flick in disdain. He may be young still, yet there is a sense of justice within the creature, he wishes no harm on any and brings none in return lest it is feasible to do so. He is aware of his own power, aware of his own skill and yet makes no effort to use his talents unless they are required and yet perhaps- that time has finally come. He will not tolerate such blind prejudice when he has committed no crime other then the blood in his veins, something that cannot be changed anymore then the weather can be commended. To have Covet insult him for a crime he never committed was one thing, to have another wolf, now, attacking those he has associated with only once, those he calls friend is another matter entierly and one Guardian is determined to remove here and now.

“Tempus illud animadversionis esse arbitror nostram coetus Cousin. Tolli necesse est ut primum metu, tracta cum ipse nos in viam rectam Amir quamquam suspicor etiam Hyrule praeterea habeat. ... Est parvulus insolitum aliquid suspicari viderentur. At qui non sit ratio et nobiscum sunt Aviias auersam incursando quamquam suspicor Spirane non esset eiusdem operis lupum.”
(I think it may be time to call together our group, Cousin. This is a threat we need to eliminate as soon as possible, a talk with Amir himself may set us on the right path, though I suspect Hyrule may have further information too. For a child he is...unusual, that one. I will not sit ideal while those who associate with us are attacked as Spirane was and now Aviias though I suspect this is not the work of the same wolf.)

His latin words are offered to Achilles alone, flawlessly spoken unlike his common tongue, before his attention returns to Aviias in full, muzzle parted to lick again at her cheek in some effort to instill…comfort.

“Dun be scared, Angels ain’t never scared, we got each other and while imma ‘ere I make sure ya ain’t get ‘urt again, ya can stay with us, stay here in our pack and be an Angel too- then ya ain’t ever be alone again. Ya safe ‘ere, I promise.”

He is sure Achilles will not argue or find fault with his words, Aviias was his friend, she had been attacked because of him and that alone was enough to rile the male somewhere within, though for now he attempts calm again in an effort to further appease his female companion as he rests beside her.
