no light, no light

Zephyr had longed since learned that showing concern, showing fear, it was all weakness - and showing weakness was dangerous. Instead he shrugged off the implication that Caelum was being raped, knowing well enough that she hadn't been followed - or at least he was somewhat sure she wasn't - and also knowing that causing a scene would do him no good. Instead his words, implying that she shouldn't waste any potential chance for future pups on him, forced a grin from him. "But the difference, say, between you and I, is that I have more years of experience with women - especially her," he chortled somewhat light-heartedly. "Four litters now, believe it or not." Zephyr was just as happy to leave that topic behind them, moving on to far more interesting things. The older man let out a snort at his words. "They seemed eager enough, that's for sure. I'm sure my wife will have my hide for not staying and helping, but.." He shrugged, maintaining his nonchalant demeanor easily. "I'm not sure what your friends - or family? - want here, but it's all yours. Won't get a fight out of this one. I can promise you that." The way he'd said the younger ones implied that this one was part of their group, whether family or otherwise he wasn't sure. So much had changed, he realized now - once he would've fought tooth and nail for lands he called home. Now, he didn't give a damn where he lived, so long as Caelum and Caelestis were safe. They wanted Dragoste, or its resources? Take it, for all he cared! Malleus shifted his talk back to Caelum again, elicited a slight frown. He had ran once from Caelum, in a way, when she had ran from the invaders back in their old back.. he'd fled just as she had. Now, though, was different. He was running for her, toward her, definitely not away from. "You really think I'd be running away from a woman who's put up with my shit after so many years?" Zephyr raised his brows, slowly shaking his head. "I did catch her trail going this way, and I don't think at this age I'll have much luck finding a mate as lovely and faithful as her. I don't give a damn about the rest of this pack - I'll run from them all day. But not her, I'm not losing her. Wouldn't you be running after your true love too, hmm?" |
