It’s a good feeling I think. Better than good really, to be so close to an imprint. I had doubted it at first, I won’t lie, her sudden declaration about being meant for each other I suppose had caught me off guard. Though I hardly doubted it now. I could feel it, every part of me wanted to be closer to her and when she wasn’t here, well….I thought about her rather a lot. She was still younger then me and I knew that, younger by at least two years though it hardly seemed it. She was going to be taller then me I was sure but it didn’t matter. I liked her being here, I liked her being around and I suppose I was just happy- even if I didn’t fully understand why, my gold touched lips spread into a silly, boyish grin that truly went will with my scruffy appearance and gangly limbs and eternally ungainly look. Maybe I was more cute rather then handsome, that’s what I was choosing to go with anyway. Her own tail waved and I was truly going to take that as a good sign. I’ve never been all that good with girls, then again I don’t really know all that many so maybe I judge myself to harshly. She looked happy to see me though and I think that’s something. She’s probably the reason I’m not very good with girls, after all, she really is the only one I think about. I suppose I don’t have much of a choice really, but she’s always there, in the back of my mind- even if I only wonder of she’s having a good day. That’s important, at least, some part of me thinks it is.
She mentioned the pack then, my eyes widening slightly at her declaration that she was here to join it, an even wider grin training my features then, head lifting slightly in some manner of pride although I’m not really sure what I was proud of. The fact my imprint liked my pack or the fact my pack land appealed to my imprint. It was one of those I’m sure, although her mention of the sky lighting up saw my earthen features frown slightly, head turned upward as if some part of me truly expected to see it, having missed the metaphor of her words I suppose.
“Really?”
The sky looked pretty much the same to me. The gold of my gaze returned to her own as she spoke then of her family. She would be about the same age I was, I suppose, when I had left the mountain as well, although this mention of her family saw my head tilt slightly once more. I’d never really considered her family. Did they know about imprints? Did they know about me? Was I supposed to go and….I don’t know….ask them first? Maybe I am a good spy, but I never claimed to being good at relationship things- not any kind of relationship, even friendships I find hard to maintain. Although I suppose that is because I tend to spend more time doing my job then just talking for the fun of it.
“Did you tell your parents you were coming to live here? Did….did they mind?”
I wasn’t entirely sure who her parents were but I suppose I didn’t want it to become some sort of scandal. After all, if anyone heard about it first it would be Pan and while I love my Father, I do, I am not sure he and I see eye to eye. Hopefully her parents were at least ok with her moving I suppose. I shook off the thoughts of my mind, grin returned once more as I moved to step aside them, gesturing for her to step forward at least and into the fields. Mistress Impa (I hear that is her name) surely wouldn’t mind my bringing her in- she is my imprint after all. I moved then, waiting for her to at least walk beside me, excited I suppose, to show her my home.
“Well? Oh yes, I am well. I’m hoping to get promoted soon, especially if I can secure an alliance with Spirane, Impa would like that. Things might….change though, Impa has been called to a challenge by Jaidah. She was the Queen before Impa you see and I liked her alright but I like Impa too. The pack has really started growing too, I’d hate to see it stop.”
