Homeward bound

The Archangel smiled at the clear pleasure his words gave Exodus, and was glad they helped the boy’s mood lift. He was glad to hear that Exodus wanted to continue his training, which just solidified the impression that Exodus was a driven wolf who wanted to make something of himself for the good of the pack.

Regulus nodded, padding along as he asked, “You wanted to rise through the Legionary ranks, correct? Are you still certain you’d like to focus on that line?”

He paused to look at Xodus with a grin, ears perked to capture the answer he’d give. It was always interesting to see where the young minds wanted to go in life. And with Exodus' wish to take the initiative and train hard, and the lack of entitlement he seemed to have, it pleased the Archangel, and gave him hope that Celestial might see more of this in others, if they would just see that determination in this wolf. And the rewards that came from it.
