An explosion of sound ricocheted across the terra and made Basileus tense instinctively. He stilled, ears pricking, as another sound and then another bounced off the trees. It took a moment for what the sound was to register. So he wasn't alone, eh? May as well say hi. Perhaps if he were lucky he could get lucky. It seemed like his life now revolved around quick fixes and throwaway lovers; something he recognized as deplorable and yet couldn't free himself from. If he were being honest he didn't want to. What else was there to do? The brotherhood was dead, his target - damn him - was beyond his reach. He was a soldier, a man, without purpose. And what was a man without purpose? With a lazy stretch and a groan Basileus slid out from under the low hanging branches of a massive pine tree. Nonchalantly he made his way towards the ice field where the sound had come from and, upon reaching the bank, half slid half stepped down onto the ice. He couldn't see or smell the sneezer but their final trumpeting had given him a pretty good idea of where they were. While he was still out of sight Basileus paused to give himself a once over. On the off chance the sneezer was a woman it wouldn't do him any good to flirt while looking like a mess. He shook out his coat to rid it off of its sleep-crumpled state and ran his tongue over his whiskers to smooth them. "Good enough," he decided, and with an intentionally lackadaisical swagger rounded the last tree that separated him from the stranger. Upon laying eyes on Vittore he froze. Quickly he recovered, his expression growing amused, and said dryly, "Ah, lui vive." |
