*Home turf, Firefly lake*

Said all I want from you is to see you tomorrow and every tomorrow, maybe you’ll let me borrow your heart

They had decided to hang out close to the lake while they grew accustom to the area, and for his lungs to acclimatize to the dryness here. As much as Phantom didn't want to leave him, they both needed something to eat. After much discussing, he agreed to stay hunkered down in the cattails. He let out a sigh as he waited, his head on his paws as he gazed out at the lake and the shifting colours that painted the skies. As he looked at the deep purples and blues that took over the pale colour that once ruled the skies, he wondered if his mother was looking up at the same sky. Did she ever look at the moon and wonder if he was looking at that moment as well? An intense wave of homesickness made his belly turn into a tight knot. He could only assume that his father had passed on from the sickness that plagued him, he had been worse for wear when Eniko was forced to leave his homeland with Phantom. How were his sisters fairing, with their brother in charge? Was he cruel to them now that he had the power that he had been so desperate for?

Lifting his head, he ripped his gaze to the sky and looked around for his guard and best friend. He didn't see the German shepherd anywhere, and he urged him on with his thoughts. Eniko didn't feel like being alone right now, and he was the only family he had left. Seeing a silhouette against the setting sun, he stirred from his bed and peeked out between the reeds. It was not Phantom that he saw though, but a strange female looking up at the sky. How had he not heard her approach? He cursed at his own stupidness, for tuning out the world with thoughts of his family. He was raised to be civil, but his guard would air him on the more cautious side when he was not around. He did not know the wolves of these lands, how how they may act. Deciding to take a risk -- or do something before she spotted him nested down like a duck -- Eniko pulled himself to his paws with a soft wheeze. Pushing out of the cattails, he cleared his throat before bowing to the lady. The prince's left front leg lifted up as his head lowered in his form of greeting, before he stood on all fours. His half a tail gave a few wags, and on his face was a pleasant smile. "Greetings m'lady," he said in a kind voice, testing to see if his lungs would work for now.

Eniko was nothing if not kind, but there was hardly any emotion showing through in his yellow eyes. Having been raised in royalty, he knew just how to act and to keep his emotions out of it. There was a touch of an accent in his words, but nothing too bad. Just a slightly different way of speaking, but nothing that stood out like a sore thumb. So far his lungs were behaving, so he went on after a slight pause. "I apologize for sneaking up on you, but that was far from my intentions. I was resting when I saw you come near, and I really am sorry if I frightened you," There was no doubt that he was a proper lad, it was easy to tell from the manner of his speech.

And is it too much to ask for every Sunday while we at it throw in every other day to start
