Another stitch in my heart

Bass was so drawn into his own thoughts that he didn't even hear the stranger approach, not until her words called out to him. His head snapped up, golden eyes wide in his startled state. It wasn't often that he let his guard down like that and let someone sneak up on him, but here they stood. A hint of a smile touched his lips, dipping his brown marked face in a way of greeting. Silently he cursed himself for not paying attention, at least this wolf seemed kind and didn't look like she bore him any ill will. There was hardly a time for him to gather his barrings before she was speaking again, apologizing for interrupting him, introducing herself and commenting on his face. He couldn't help but frown, she wasn't the first wolf to comment on his troubled look. Damn, he needed to work on closing himself off more. He had thought that he was alone though, and that he wouldn't have any company to entertain. What a foolish thing to think. These weren't his lands though, so he didn't have to be as prim and proper as an alpha needed to be on their own borders. "That's alright," he started, that hint of a smile on his face again. "I'm Bass Destruction, and I guess you could say that. You seem to be one who knows the look well," the man retorted, unsure of this Caelum's direction. He wasn't big on sharing his feelings with others, even more so with a complete stranger. Maybe he could change, goodness knew it would do him some good. But he would have to see, he had a hard enough time admitting his feelings to those he really cared for. Would it be harder or easier with a wolf he didn't know? It was an interesting thought. Still leaning against the tree, he gazed over at the black-faced female. Her markings reminded him of Vali for a moment, but there was a lot more black on her face than his friends. She was smaller than him, but size had never really been a factor for him. He had met wolves bigger and smaller than him, and fought both. Each size had their own factors, and he wasn't one to judge. A quick sniff told him that Caelum wasn't part of a pack, but because this wasn't Abaven he didn't have to talk about his pack. Well, for now. Who knows, she might ask after all. It was a conversation he had had so many times that he could do it in his sleep. After all, he wasn't quite sure what he was even looking for here. It could just be a friendly conversation, but Bass felt like he was almost rusty in these matters. He hardly left pack lands, and when he did it was usually with a task in mind. Today though he had just needed to get out, these woods acting like a barrier from his issues. Maybe he could just relax and be a normal wolf for once. |
