Hold back the fear
He knew something had been off about Avalon's scent. As she approached, it was clear that Sonticus no longer was attached to her pelt. It was of Imperium, a pack he had only heard rumors about. All good and bad things of course. It reminded him a lot of the kingdom he had grown up in - and the pack he and Athena had run for a short amount of time as it was. However when he raised his head, his single eye would focus on the small whelp at her side. A pain in his heart, a pup. It wasn't a sad pain, it was more of a thought of his own children who were far into adulthood now. If he could even call them his own children - they were Amalia and Athena's kids. Vereux tried to let the thought sink further into his brain. Dragon asked what was wrong with his eye, the one that had the mark over it. Vereux smiled softly for a moment. “A storm took it little one, that's why you should be careful when it's raining out.” he was also covered in multiple scars. The most prominent being the one all the way around his neck. However he shuddered before turning back to Avalon, he was trying his best to seem like he was okay. “It has been, I certainly hope you're doing well Avalon. Seems like you've found someone to love.” he looked at Dragon again. He didn't like making assumptions, but he could only guess she had a mate with a pup.
“Avalon I - I need your help.” The male became very serious for a moment. His green eye looked over the larger wolf. “I was swept away by a storm in the autumn, I only recently found my way back. But - now I don't think I can go back to Yfir.” He shook his head. “I won't go back to being a slave, and I won't be rejected my home for reasons I could not control.” Vereux was tired of being blamed for things he couldn't control. “You're my only friend so I sought you out - what happened to Sonticus?” he watched her carefully.
