A lot had happened since that ‘party’ and he wasn’t sure he liked it. Zanon felt that pull that day, something driving him to want to be close to the forest of Taviora, something that made him curious about someone else. It was more than for his own desires, it was like a need. It felt like shackles, but also felt freeing. Zaonon was feeling things he never felt before, and he couldn’t even begin to understand what they were. He never had many feelings, certainly not towards any others. Obligation, and desire to fulfill his own goals were truly what drove him to doing everything he has done. He wanted to get stronger so he could earn his siblings and packs trust by serving as their warrior. Zanon wanted to meet others so that he had others to use to reach his own goals and needs. He did things for his benefit, and he did it all underneath his guise so carefully built up and walls kept around himself.

He got good at faking it and only getting better.

He hadn’t been home for a while, not really since he thought Cuirass made a fool of himself and his brother acted like a dumb beast and chose not to listen to his words of defense, and coming to his aide. He wanted a new teacher in fighting, and he tried to go out and find one himself with little success. For now at least. He also went looking for Zephyr. He was a fool. Protecting that wolfess who attacked the Chepi, running off right after that was how he ended up at that party. Zanon found many of my siblings that day, some he hadn’t seen in ages turned up and he had no idea which to follow. Zephyr vanished quickly, but Kahina also garnered his interest, but then he saw her. All his self interest went out the window, and soon he found himself lurking all over the lands. Following her here and there, wondering what she was doing. Now though, she was in HIS home, now he wanted to get close, get answers to see what this girl was doing wandering all over the lands.

Meeting her had thrown him into an existential crisis after all, and she was his imprint. He still fought the bond though, much like an unbroke horse still tossing his head the first time it was put on a lead. Still the feeling of fullness was enough to keep him from wishing it broken. With that he crossed the lands a little after her call, standing at a distance, approaching the pair, not worried that he would get into trouble. It was his home, his place to be here, he was allowed to be curious. He missed their initial reactions, but it seemed really it had just been getting started. He even already won some information on his approach. Her name.

He moved in so that created a triangle between them all, stopping a little distance away so that he wasn’t interfering at the moment too much, but he could listen in on what was going on. A ball? He waited for the girl to finish asking things, before he too spoke up. He was happy to finally have an answer, a way in. He was happy he found out what she was running all around for as well. ”Excuse my intrusion, Lady Pine, but I wouldn’t mind showing her around.” He smiles politely and his tones were nothing but cordial, he even offered a little wave of his tail as his pink eyes moved to the girl who captured him so. ”Zanon, is my name, a pleasure.” He dips his head to his soul’s captor, smiling still at her still.
