Her question had been far more in depth than he was ever expecting, but it seemed like his plan had worked. He nodded slowly along with her words, his eyes growing wide as she described just how large this area was. He didn't get a name like he had hoped, but he stored that one away for now. It was quite a simple one to ask, and he didn't want to waste either of their time. It would seem that if he wanted to see all the lands here, it would take quite some time. The kingdom wasn't nearly as large as this new place, with two continents attached with a land bridge. Eniko had never heard of something like that, it wasn't like his home had been small. He hummed thoughtfully, and then waited for her question to come. Lady Liviana started off simple enough, or so she thought. A tiny sigh passed through his lips, almost soft enough to be mistaken as a huff. While he wanted to ask her first where she came from, as she stated it was not here, he knew that he couldn't deny her question. Falling silent for a moment, he wondered just how much he should divulge into his tale. Eying her with those cautious yellow pools, a small smile touched his lips. But he couldn't look at her for long, not while he thought of home. Looking up at the stars again, he shifted so that he faced the lake. The sun finally dipped down fully, and the fireflies had started to swim around them. Pools of yellow green light drenched his coat in colour as he gazed up, his eyes closing for a moment. "My kingdom is about a months walk from this land of yours, or newly yours," he said, peeking at her with a hint of a smile on his lips. "It is not as large as you say this area is, but it was big enough," Eniko paused, his half-length tail twitching slightly on the soft ground. A certain firefly caught his eye, landing on a cattail near them. His head tilted as he watched it, a faraway look crossing his features. He missed home so desperately, and he wished that his brother would back off and let him come back. But no, he wanted him dead just so that he could seat himself in power. His lips twitched, a rough half growl rumbling in his throat. It almost sounded like he was clearing his throat, almost. Sighing, he turned back and looked to the chocolate lady. He was caught off guard by the way her sapphire eyes danced in the light of the bugs, and he blinked for a few seconds before moving on like nothing had happened. "I grew up there, but hopefully this place will hold more adventures for us," The spotted wolf didn't even realize that he had said 'us', it had been him and Phantom for so long now that it was an automatic response. It was his turn for a question now, and he watched the fragmented light on the lake as he thought. It only took a few moments, and he very quickly discovered his next question. "How are these lands governed?" For such a large place, he doubted that there was just one family in power. That, or there were some very strict rules put in place. But with that Lady Liviana had said, he highly doubted it. And is it too much to ask for every Sunday while we at it throw in every other day to start "SPEAK" |
As Eniko's guard and protector, Phantom can enter any thread no matter how it is marked.
