You just want attention
Her voice was...well, he wasn't sure. Soothing? Mysterious? Interesting? He mentally shrugged, feeling a bit perplexed about why he even thought any of that. He supposed he always had to try and put something to another thing, and he felt internally obligated to come up with a reason as to what he thought her voice made him feel...or...thought, or whatever. He frowned slightly at himself. Why was he even thinking any of this!? Stop it, stop being so weird! He scolded himself, and shortly after, he heard his name. Gaze shot back to hers as she repeated his name, going on to compliment it. Or at least, he thought it was a compliment anyway. "Thanks, I like it quite a lot as a matter of fact." That in itself was true enough. He always liked his name, all his brothers had strong sounding names if he did say so himself.
When she introduced herself, he looked puzzled for a split second trying to remember if he had asked her, but it was no more than a fleeting thought before he decided to comment on it. "Liviana Lupei...it's a nice name, I think. Suits you, L is quite a good letter if I do say so myself. So I guess that makes your name twice as good." Smooth. Real smooth. Dumbass. Oh well, there was no turning back now, was there?
Ah well, too late. He supposed he didn't have too much experience talking to girls, or maybe he was just oblivious and was just too comfortable most times when it came to others...away from his pack. On the borders it was something else, but at this moment in time, she didn't know he was the alpha. He could act however he wanted and not get questioned or lectured on how he should be acting because he was an alpha. Sure, he loved being an alpha, but he also missed being able to go and goof around sometimes and just be himself. But even when he could, he eventually had to tell strangers that he was an alpha, and then feel stupid for allowing himself to just...be himself. It was exhausting sometimes.
Liviana asked about his pack, his brow raising a bit as he cast a quick glance towards Kimahri. "Well, so far we're the only pack in Auster. It's been that way for over a year now, we're secluded from others...save for the occasional loner that happens to stop by." He took a seat where he was, fluffy tail wrapping haphazardly across his hind paws. "Talis isn't the type of pack to take things lying down, though we haven't had any trouble on our doorstep, I expect we will at some point. Every pack does, I think. And if it's a pack like ours who goes raiding others for survival, then we're kind of always on our toes." Perhaps...that wasn't the best way to sum up the pack, but it was a start he guessed. "I like to think Talis is a close knit family, regardless of relation to one another. Even while the pack agrees to doing some things, there are those who oppose it, which is fine I guess. I expect there to be the same kind of stuff going on in other packs, but I wouldn't know. Asides from that though, I like to believe we're always ready for anything that comes our way, we train a lot and we train hard. I try to keep my pack running as smooth as possible while working out the kinks here and there."
Was he proud of his pack? Yes. Yes he was. Granted there was some tension between him and his brothers, but that didn't stop him from doing what he needed to do. He knew he'd eventually be the bigger man and try to talk and try to bury the hatchet, but for now...he had a pack to worry about. He was curious then about which pack she had been in before. One on Boreas maybe? Unless a pack had sprouted up in Auster somewhere and he just didn't realize it? "What pack were you in before, if I might ask?" |
