Hide away

Well his question had obviously hit a nerve, but he couldn't bring it in himself to care about it. His curiosity was piqued and he silently hoped she'd explain herself. After all he'd gone through all the trouble to follow her all the way here so in his mind she owed him that - even if this island was going to be fun and she'd gotten him away from his family for a while. Not that he hated them, but his need to explore and see something new had been far too great for him to be a good little boy and stick around in Lirim's lands until he turned one. She began speaking and Miach let his rump fall to the ground unceremoniously as he listened to her story. She had his full attention as his ears flicked forward and his eyes rested on her as she spoke. Of course he'd been expecting a short story so he was glad he'd sat down. He listened as she explained the god thing (which he found honestly a little odd and a lot of crazy) but he didn't interrupt. He was fascinated in a way that a whole group of wolves could believe they were descendants of fallen gods, but then again he'd grown up without believing in any gods so far so he supposed he really had no room to say anything. The bit about her mother and uncle being mates was probably the oddest thing of all and his muzzle crinkled in disgust as he pondered over it. Mates ... with her own twin ... what the fuck? And then the part of her actually being adopted was probably the most interesting bit and it was a secret on top of it. He would definitely make sure to remember that bit of information in case she ended up pissing him off and trying to double cross him later. He could hold it over her head at least. The more she went on the more he realized how fucked up her family was. Her parents were the oldest and yet neither were in charge, how did that work out? Then this male, Amon, Miach could already tell he didn't like him either. His head cocked as he stared at Aby's leg. He'd noticed that she'd been in pain, but hadn't really given it much thought. he couldn't imagine any of his aunts or uncles injuring him in such a way so why would hers. Then his brain went back to the bit about the weak being purged and he was confused all over again. Ugh. Yeah she definitely had a confusing family. Nothing was as fucked up as her explaining that when she was of age she had to have children with a mortal. He gave her a confused look as he pondered this idea. So basically she was a glorified breeding thing, yuck. He almost pitied her life. He could somewhat sympathize with her and understood her need to get away from it. Had he been her he would have run away ages ago and said fuck being anywhere in that clusterfuck of a mess. "Okay so yeah, your life is pretty fucked up." Was finally the only comment he could muster. "Your adopted, your parents are siblings and mates, and your uncle is a dick and then you're expected to breed at two and you all believe you're gods. That sounds wonderful." His words were dripping with sarcasm with that last sentence. He jumped up eagerly at the subject change though and his tail waved softly behind him as he scanned the horizon for something tall they could climb. His eyes rested on one of the hotels that rested on the island and he looked back at her. "We could climb to the top of whatever that is. It seems to have the best view." Walk, "Talk" Think |
