He did not know fear, not of his parents at least. He knew he held a special place in both their hearts and didn’t think either would ever bring themselves to hurt him. He had no reason to fight them, no reason to make them mad or anything else. Glorall was in a way his second home, though he didn’t know that his father had tucked away a second family here, with two more pups that were born the same spring as he was. That would probably answer more questions about his father. After all Asriel figured out the older he got that his father really was quite the enigma to him. Maybe by staying here Asriel would figure out more about him too, and it wouldn’t make his mother have a heart attack wondering where he was.

He had chosen, for now at least, to stay here instead of in the forest. Here he felt he would be given the space to do what he wanted more readily, there were less wolves to constantly hover over him and less family that Asriel was aware of at least. He didn’t have his grandfather, uncles or mother constantly watching over him and perhaps his father would be too busy being Alpha that he wouldn’t stalk him about as his mother did. He understood that she simply cared about him, that in losing Moteuh that she had become a bit clinging to Shem and him. It wasn’t just that of course, his soul seemed to be here too, and he wanted to see what trouble and how much in the way that relationship would be to him. Soon he was going to find out.

The grey girl he recognized walked up to him, proving to him that this feeling, their bond was a bit like a tether he could follow. Inconvenient but not so long as he was the only one that could feel it this strongly. It has been said that males felt it more than the females he wondered how strongly she felt it? She grinned at him and called him bold, though he was far from. There was no risk to be taken in walking into his father’s land, or was it? He was curious to this bit if nothing else. ”Why?” He asked simply watching her as she grinned at him. She thought they would make quite the pair but really would they? ”And why do you think that too? His voice was a little on the monotone side, it was like long ago he had been defeated and it just never went away. There had been few moments of joy and eagerness since his sister’s passing and part of him didn’t want to care like he used too. After all that was how he got hurt.

He stared at her with his bright copper eyes, gauging her for a minute before saying, ”Right now I am just seeing how big of an inconvenience you might be to me.” He was being honest, if nothing else. Something told him that she felt the same.
