Overdue

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

It wasn't often that he spoke out of turn, he could feel the uncomfortable feeling start to stir in his stomach. Swallowing hard, he hoped that Faite wasn't too offended by his brash attitude. He saw her shift in her seat and he wanted to swallow his words back up, but it was too late for that. He paused, wanting to comment on it but decided to let it slide. Eniko didn't want to make it worse, and stumbling on his words now wouldn't help. So he went on, waiting for her to fill the silence. He too shifted, his ears folding back slightly. Sometimes he cursed the way that he was raised and his inability to act otherwise, but it had been so nailed into him that it wasn't simple to just switch it off. But when the russet marked female said that Zuriel's birth went well, his ears perked back up as the tip of his tail wagged ever so slightly. Two boys and a girl! Goodness, she was going to have her paws full. A hint of a smile touched his lips, but he still said nothing and gave her space to speak.

The fawn spotted male nodded solemnly at her words, perhaps that is why he felt even more protective over her because of what had happened. "I do apologize lady Faite. She reminds me a lot of one of my sisters back home, it's hard not to feel protective over her. Her heart is too kind, just like Callisha has. I haven't seen my family in awhile and it... well she reminds me a lot of home." His smile was a sad one, his ears laying flat against his head as he gazed across the pack lands behind her. "You picked a beautiful place to raise your kingdom, lady Faite. I wish you and your family the best, I really do." His yellow eyes glanced back at her, his head dipping slightly. He had been lingering here too long and didn't want to call too much attention to her pack borders. It reminded him of Zuriel's invitation, and just how hard it had been to turn it down. But there were greater things out there, he couldn't cling onto anything that reminded him of home. It wasn't safe, not for anyone. While having a place to call home again had been so tempting, it wasn't a risk that he wanted to take. Eniko would hate to close their meeting so quickly, but he shifted slightly in his unease. His lungs were calm for now, so when they stepped away from each other he could afford to take the long way out of here. He didn't even know where he would be going next, every day was something new. Without Phantom he feared to linger in a place too long.

Clearing his throat, he hated to be even more rude and cut this discussion short. So he fell silent as he fought to think of something else to speak of. "Having pups so close to your sister must be a blessing. It must be nice to have someone to share this part of your life with." He wasn't sure if the father of Faite's puppies was around, and he wasn't about to ask. Goodness, that would be far too out of line for him. He faintly wondered if there would ever come a time when he could relax and actually settle down. Back home he had been so focused on taking over for his father that he never really thought of having kids of his own. Or claiming a mate and becoming a family. Licking at his inky lips again, he shoved the thought aside. Now wasn't the time, it was too dangerous. Everything seemed to be that way.

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