He wondered sometimes if Menkhet would forget about him or find someone else to distract her and play with her but he hoped that wouldn't happen. He truly enjoyed her company and wanted all the happiness in the world for her. He shifted his weight awkwardly as he waited for her, hoping no one else would hear the howl and come to intervene. There was a lot of tension at that two year old gathering from some Asteraia males that Mochi had to think were Menkhet's siblings or something so he hoped they wouldn't get in the way. He'd hate to start a fight but he did really need some kind of tension release right now and his temper was shorter than normal with all the stress he was under. He might not stop himself as he usually would if someone thought to challenge his presence here. He wanted to see Menkhet and as long as she wanted to see him too, there shouldn't be a problem.
It wasn't too long before he saw her familiar form loping toward him. His tail only wagged that much more and his ears pricked forward, his lips tugging into a welcoming grin as she got closer. His eyes lit up, happy to see her. She called out to him and he let out a breath of relief when she said his name, somehow his heart feeling lighter that she remembered his name. She asked if things were okay and that alone made his expression sober as he found himself shaking his head. "No, not really. A lot has happened in Taviora and with my family." Waiting to gauge her reaction, he launched right into it, summarizing everything up so they could move past it cause he was sure she'd be curious. "My grandfather was killed, my brother left Moladian with my uncle and Zelda stepped down and handed Taviora off to her cousin." There, that should be about it.
He sighed but right about then she was a welcome distraction by darting forward to nip at his nose. He jerked back at first, his nose wrinkling before he flashed a fang playfully and lunged forward, aiming to push her chest with his shoulder before he snaked his mouth up to nip at her ear in retaliation. He pulled back just as quick, circling around her as he flicked his tail back and forth. "What about you? Anything new to report?"
