Can't Cover Up What You've Done

Hold on tight, this ride is a wild one.

Her little bow back made him let out a soft chuckle, his half a tail swishing behind him twice before it stilled. He wasn't used to showing so much emotion, but he had to admit that the strange woman was rather charming. She had risked her life just to come here and check on him, making him more relaxed in her presence. "Well Miss Zuriel Adravendi, you must have some royalty in your blood. There is hardly a wolf out there to risk their safety just to check on a stranger," he said with a soft hum, giving her a nod of approval. She would have made a good lady-in-waiting back in his kingdom, it was clear to see that she was a good companion to have. Eniko's shoulders relaxed a bit, his posture still slightly stiff but at least a little more neutral looking. His head tilted to the side somewhat as she looked at the incline with him, they were rather stuck here. He was thankful that he had her here though, he wasn't used to being alone. Usually Phantom was glued at his side, but for now he had to handle himself the best that he could. The male was well trained in it of course, but it was still an odd feeling. He almost felt... colder, without the canine guard at his flank. Swallowing it all back though, he gave her his full attention when she spoke again.

Zuriel told him to wait here, but he took a few steps after her before he finally paused. It still hadn't stopped raining, and he knew that taking the thin ledge again was a huge risk. His chest contracted painfully as he watched her through narrowed yellow eyes, ready to dive and catch her if anything transpired. His breath caught when her tail wagged and she turned towards the wall, through the sheet of rain it looked like she was trying to catch her balance. He jumped closer to the edge of the cliff, but soon enough she ducked into a den. Letting out a small breath, he took a seat as he watched her kick out rocks and dirt, following them with his eyes as they bounced down into the water below. Wow, that really was quite the drop. Counting the seconds until he could see a splash, he tried to calculate just how far down it was until she poked her head back out again. Turning towards her, a small smile was offered as he nodded his head. He was fine, he wasn't a child. Ignoring the constricting feeling in his lungs, he stepped on the tiny walkway and moved paw over paw, leaning against the cliff face beside him. His balance was still fine with his half-tail, and poise was something that was practiced often back at home. Moving as carefully as he could, he nearly held his breath until he was able to turn quickly into the little burrow that Zuriel had worked hard to clean out for them.

Blinking a few times to adjust his eyes to the darkness, he turned to the kind lady that would be sharing this cramped quarters with him. "Thank you so much, Miss Zuriel. For everything. Is there some way that I can repay you for your kindness?" Eniko was used to making trades, and he felt like this was a gift that shouldn't go unreciprocated.

Make no mistake, the day will come when you can't cover up what you've done.
