Miksa made himself follow Surreal's lead and sat down after she did, casting a quick glance around them. Aside from her, he had run across no one else, though it was evident by the scent of the place that others lived here, not as a pack per se but definitely as a familial unit. That was encouraging, as was her general good mood, and it gave him promise that things could be as well for him too if the welcome he had been offered previously was still open to him. Surreal's voice as she began to answer him after a short pause brought the youthful male's attention back around to her, and he listened attentively as she informed him of their impending move and her husband's condition. Blindness was new to Miksa, and his brow puckered at the center in a thoughtful gesture though he said and asked nothing and instead maintained his silence. In due time, if it was meant for him to, he would learn better how a wolf was able to live with something that he considered to be a debilitating condition. As he had somewhat expected her to, the grey woman brought their conversation back around to the pack she still intended to create - news that was a great relief to Miksa - and assured him that the offer she had made to him was still extended his way. He and everyone else who had been displaced by Threar's disbandment still had someplace that would welcome and offer them sanctuary. His nervousness visibly relaxed, though a little of it still remained as he wished he had made more of an effort to keep in touch with those that he had lost from the pack. How many of them had been left alone and lost as he had been? How many of them might continue to be that way because they did not realize the options available to them? "Thank you, Surreal," he muttered with wholehearted thanks, tipping his head slightly in a gesture of sincerity. "I...I think I'd like to stay." It would be odd trying to adjust to a new family, so many new faces, but if he had done so already so many other times, he could do so again. And he would hope, as he had then, that he would never have to again. "I wish I knew what happened to the rest of the pack," he added guiltily, his tan ears folding slightly as he thought of it. Was it foolish to consider searching for them, for a chance at reuniting them someplace they could try to start over? It was something he would need to think on. |
