Hide away

They'd certainly traveled farther than he'd ever thought possible. As it turned out there was another continent further below the one he'd lived on. The bifrost had been interesting enough for the short time that they'd crossed it and then by the time they reached the end he was already bored of it. He'd been glad to be gone from the area and by that point they were already crossing into far better places. There were so many interesting things to focus on that his brain felt like it'd been overloaded. He didn't miss the way they circled back and how she led him through waterways and he did ask out of curiosity. Her answer that she was going to make sure it was harder to hide him from his family satisfied him for the time being. He didn't want his mom or aunt Faite to come and ruin his fun too early. They reached a beach and he paused at it uncertainly. Was this the supposed fun place they were supposed to be at? It didn't look all that impressive to him at all. His eyes narrowed as he peered at Abyzou before he realized they weren't stopping at all. She'd already plunged into the ocean so he shrugged and waded in after her. Despite the fact he was almost as tall as her he had a harder time keeping up with her. Her muscles were mostly filled out and his legs still felt awkward and clumsy. He didn't complain - this would make him strong and he wasn't going to appear weak in front of this female. He was kind of cold by the time they reached the isle's shore. His fur wasn't as thick as hers and he felt numb and tired. His muscles had never gotten a workout quite like this before, but still he didn't complain. He couldn't stop the flood of relief when his toes hit the beach. He thought he might collapse but he forced his weary muscles to obey him as he stood and looked around. He wasn't disappointed either. Crimson gaze scanned the area as he spotted some strange structures, lots of foliage, and what seemed like many fun places to explore and play. This was a hell of a lot more awesome than anything he'd ever laid eyes on before. It also seemed secluded, he couldn't smell anyone, which was perfect. He had they isle all to himself. Well, almost. He had to share it with Abyzou, but she was the one who brought him here so he supposed her presence was tolerable for the time being. His head turned as Aby spoke to him and he noticed the smile on her face. It seemed like she enjoyed the place as well. Ears flicked as she mentioned something about grouchy uncles, rules, and curfews. So was she escaping from her family? It seemed like it from the way she talked about it. He couldn't complain about his family, but he didn't appreciate the not being able to leave the packlands rule his aunt had set. He wanted to be able to explore. How else was he going to learn things if he was kept cooped up in Lirim. "Yeah, this place seems great." He muttered as his eyes scanned the horizon once more. It was hard to pick out where he wanted to go first, but it all seemed amazing. His attention was forced back to Aby once more as she changed her mind about the rules. His muzzle crinkled as he turned to look at her again, but he listened without interrupting. He was hesitant, thinking he wouldn't like these rules, but half of them confused him. He couldn't imagine what he had to hide from, predators maybe? It was hard to tell. Then the something about a wolf who thought he was a god? He didn't understand that either. She at least explained that the patriarch or whatever and her weren't on good terms. Her uncle maybe? That at least explained why she wanted to be away from her family. He couldn't imagine wanting to leave any time soon now that they were here so he didn't mind that much either and the not sharing bit suited him just fine. He could be selfish too and he certainly didn't like the idea of sharing either. He liked the idea of owning the island though. It seemed larger than life and far prettier than Lirim's lands put together. "Yeah, fine, fine. I agree to your rules or whatever. What's this problem with your uncle or whatever? And this god thing, what's that about?" he asked curiously, dying to know more. Walk, "Talk" Think |
