Koiranos had taken he and his cousin in, essentially both their uncle. It had been a life of relative ease - and far safer than if they had lived in the lagoon. Kyon was more inclined to roam, far closer in nature to his granddam and aunt than Agraeus was. He took the minute strain of wild minded and simple behavior and ran with it.
Today, he pretends to patrol, growing but not entirely grown despite what his body was trying to tell him lately. His armored-face marking catches light first, a flash before the brilliance of his body catches that same light and blinds those who’d be looking. A warning flare before the sun ricocheted off him and into the woods.
His inherited ice-blue eyes focus on everything and nothing, distracted by wandering thoughts the way that his cousin Kyon had wandering feet. The pine scent is lovely, but it does not stir him. The sea scent is enchanting but does not move him. The birdsong is sweet but it cannot draw him out.
What was it that he sought? What would give his life fire and purpose?
These complex thoughts trouble him and he tosses his head irritably. He doesn’t want to think so deeply, to be seeking. Where were the days of contentment gone? He rubs his side along a few trunks, scratching an itch while keeping on the move. Then he hears a snap and lifts himself out of his thinking, headache only just threatening to begin. "Who?" He snorts with a stomp.
