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

His eyes held fast to her gaze as she spoke of there being several different packs, all with their own set of rules. Confusion was clear in his usually stoic face, blinking slowly as his head tilting to the side. A whole different way of ruling, all spread out through the land? Her answer only left him with more questions, and he hummed as he followed the path of one of the fireflies. It was so odd, and nothing that he had ever heard of happening before. There was no other kingdoms around his own, no competition for the land or the prey. Just loners that refused to follow his father, but they were easily suppressed with their knights. But they were all friendly to each other? But how? With different ways of ruling, would there not be an opposition to the way that they were run? This was just all too much, and Eniko found himself shaking his head. It was simply too much to process, he just couldn’t wrap his mind around how this all worked out. Maybe one time he could meet one of these alphas and speak to them about it. It was so different, but obviously it had been working out for them so far.

Deciding to just move on, he looked back at Lady Liviana as she asked if someone was with him. His maw parted to explain when lo and behold, Phantom showed up. His jaws snapped together as an easy smile tugged his lips upward, a small chuckle following. "’Speak of the devil and there he shall appear’, is that not what is said?" he asked the woman, before turning to the shepherd. But as the question left Phantom’s mouth, his brows knit together. He had not missed the twitch of his ear, or the way that he asked what this was and not who. "Phantom, that is no way to speak to a lady. This is Lady Liviana," he said, gesturing to the chocolate woman with a single raised paw. He was disappointed in how the dog was handling himself, it wasn’t like him at all. Was he just worried because he was speaking to a stranger in a land that was mostly unknown to them? He didn’t know, but everything made his chest contract with the sudden surge of emotions. He turned his head to cough slightly, successfully hiding the wheeze that almost pressed through his tight lips. Raising his head once again, he looked between wolf and dog. "Lady Liviana, this is my..." he paused, looking at Phantom. How should he be introducing him? As his guard? He didn’t want to come off as weak, so flicking his attention back to the lady before him he settled on something. "companion, Phantom."

Eniko let out a soft sigh, rolling his shoulders slightly as he tried to take deeper breaths. His lungs were trying to ruin everything for him, but he wouldn’t take it. Clearing his throat, he quickly tried to move on. "Lady Liviana is helping me learn about this land, and you interrupted me before I could ask my question. It’s only fair, as you answered her last question with your entrance," His laugh was muffled, slightly strained. His face remained stony, he wouldn’t give away the panic that was fluttering in his chest. Of course his asthma waited until now to act up. His tail tip twitched, his ears pulling back slightly. He cleared his throat once again, trying to remember what he had wanted to ask her next. Oh yes, she had mentioned a grandfather that spoke like him. "You said I reminded you of your grandfather. Was he of royal blood?" They learned about other kingdoms in his history studies, but he was never sure if they were just tall tales.

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