Alone

His ears pulled forward when she mentioned that her sister was the leader, his golden eyes opening slightly wider. Ah, so a female leader and a family pack? There weren't many female rulers when he came from, it was usually the king who led the kingdom with the queen giving her input and advice when it came time for it. These lands were so different from his, it really felt like a whole new world to him at times. He nodded slowly when Zuriel brought up that she joined after she found out that she was expecting. He saw her switch moods, making his ears pulling to the side slightly. While her smile stayed on her face, he didn't miss her own ears moving towards her skull. So was it not a good thing, or simply unexpected? He didn't know how courtship happened here, but he did understand the needs that wolves possessed. It wasn't his place to ask how this came to be, but the fact that she appeared to be slightly distressed made him want to ask. Last time they had met he had warned her of her gentle soul, had it really gotten her into trouble. He shifted slightly, drawing in a quick breath through his nose to check her scent again. Once more he smelled the pack, but no one particular smell but her own stood out. So, was she doing this alone? Growing stiff, he tried not to show it on his face and took a deep breath. He was amazed at the level of protectiveness he felt over her, but he gathered that it was because he reminded him so much of his sister back at home. It made him feel home sick, but it mostly made him feel that he needed to keep her safe. Fighting with these emotions inside of him, he licked his lips and settled into his seat better. Eniko felt the growing desire to say something; at least to make sure that she was okay.

The spotted man was thankful when she moved on, saying that her sister was a big help in all of this. It made him feel more at ease, his body relaxing again. He nodded gently with a small smile, he understood that much. With a flick of his half-tail he breathed out a sigh, knowing that she had given so much information up and he was still a steel trap. It was mostly out of necessity, he didn't want anyone to find her and question her about where he was. Shifting closer to her slightly, he lowered his head and dropped his voice to a soft whisper. "I feel like I have to be honest with you, lady Zuriel. I have been refraining from telling you a lot about myself because there are wolves from my kingdom who are after me. My brother wishes me dead, and I fear that telling you too much can land you in harms way. Please understand that this is why I am closed off, it's not only my nature from birth but I would hate to see you get caught in the cross hairs." His vocals were honest, maybe even a hint of desperation tossed in there. For his usual even tone, it was a lot. Eniko needed her to understand, begging her with his eyes that she realized just how much trust he was putting in her, and how serious this whole thing was. Kaahi would stop at nothing until he was dead, he doubted that distance would be much of an issue. To see this turned back on Zuriel and his family would be the worse wound he could ever receive, and he needed her to know before they got deeper into this friendship. She was too kind a wolf, too willing to assist others. Already knowing that, it could play a part in her demise on his count. The man wouldn't be able to live with himself if anything happened to her or those she cared about.

Shifting his golden eyes away, he leaned back and held his breath. If she was afraid by this notion, then he would walk away from her and never seek her out again. But he was lonely, he didn't want to just end it all here and now. He was a respectful man though, and she had a lot on the line. It was all in her paws now.
