Between The Lines
He sat in silence for a long while with the chatter of the Jaguars in the background. What would he say to Valor? What was his cousin thinking? Did he see him the same way Justice saw him? A traitor? He sighed, knowing he couldn't blame them for that. He only hoped that Valor would give him the chance to explain his actions, no matter how far-fetched they might seem. Still, he might as well try right? Ears twitched then when he heard his cousin's voice, and the earthen male returned his focus before him to see Valor looking...well, pretty unhappy. He frowned, but again, he didn't blame him. Dragon had technically stolen him from his home and brought him into an unfamiliar world, but he hoped that Valor would understand he hadn't done it with ill intent.
"Ah, yeah. I did," He cleared his throat, suddenly stuck on what to say. What should he say? I'm sorry? I didn't mean to? It's not what you think? His mouth opened and closed a few times but nothing came out. For once, he struggled to find something to say. So instead, he sighed and let his alpha-ness fall away to be replaced by something else. He didn't want to talk to Valor as the Alpha of Talis, but as family. Regardless of whether or not Valor saw it that way. "I uh, I...want to start off by saying I'm sorry. I know the actions of my pack seemed...well, hostile and stuff. But that was not my intention. We were desperate for medical supplies at the time, and that's really all I wanted. It wasn't my plan to bring you here, or hurt your family." His ears fell back, mouth closing for a brief moment, "I mean...you and your siblings are our family too. My mother loved Creed, we weren't trying to make things harder for you after...well, after what happened. I was kinda hoping not to see you guys to be honest...but when I saw you, I couldn't let someone else hurt you. I don't know if you could tell, but I was really holding back. You might not believe me, but it's true..." He cleared his throat again, expecting Valor to lash out at him and say things similar to what Justice had said. And if he did, how could he blame him? |
Dragon never goes anywhere without his Dragon armor, assume he is always wearing it unless otherwise mentioned! He also has a pair of seeing eye jaguars, assume they're always present unless otherwise mentioned.
