Overdue

He kept looking around the lands, hoping to spot the gray woman that he called a friend. Slight movement from his left caused his head to swing in that direction, his eyes landing on a russet faced woman with a dominate posture. While there was a pleasant look on her face, he knew the look of leadership from any number of distance. His stoic face didn't react, but he rose to his paws as she approached. Once she barked her greeting Eniko bowed, his leg lifting and pressing to his chest as his head scooped low to the ground. While he was not under her rule, she was still the ruler of these lands and deserved respect. Even though he didn't agree with how things had been handled with Zuriel being alone, it wasn't his place to question the leadership in a world he didn't belong in. Raising up, he offered a brief smile before his face dropped one more. "Greetings lady Faite, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Eniko Vaska, and I'm sorry if I took you away from a patrol. I mean your pack no ill will," he explained, wanting to put her mind at ease. He had not howled or announced his arrival in any way, so he didn't want her to think that he was here to attack our scout for someone else. He just didn't want to interrupt everyone's lives, but it would seem that he had gone and done that anyways. The last name did capture his attention though, he had forgotten that she was related to the wolf he sought. "I just came to check in on your sister, Zuriel, we have acquainted ourselves on two occasions and I wanted to see if her birthing went well. I didn't wish to call her away from the little ones though, so I was just seeing if I could spot her about. However..." he paused, his golden eyes narrowing slightly. He wasn't one to speak out of turn, it wasn't very becoming of a prince, but there was a nagging feeling in the back of his mind. He had seen her home after they had met in the estuary, and if he had not been there who would have made sure that she made it back? Eniko fell silent for a moment, and when he sucked in a deep breath he realized that she too smelled of children. Oh, so both women had whelped around the same time? That may be why she hadn't seen to it that her sister had a guard, but it was too late. The words had already left his lips. "I don't like speaking out of place, but when I last saw lady Zuriel she was alone and all the way in the estuary. That heavily pregnant she was an easy target, and her kind heart could have gotten her into trouble. I saw to it that she made it home in one piece. I am not blind to your children as well, so please excuse me for speaking my mind. You have your paws full with little ones now, a good prosperity for your Lirim." The spotted man dipped his head again, ashamed that he had been so bold to speak up like that. He wanted one apologize once again, but settled for an embarrassed smile on his usually stony face. It had bothered him immensely that she was left to her own devices, but at least now he had been able to gather a few answers. Would he be chased away for his fresh thoughts, though? The prince wouldn't blame her, even with his well spoken words it was still not something that any wolf in a leadership role wanted to here. He had judged her too harshly, adding insult to injury when he questioned how things ran here. Licking at his lips in a nervous manner, he fell silent and allowed Faite to take the floor. 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.
