Maybe it wasn't his place to say anything. In fact, his mother would probably have some strong words for him later for interfering. Or for finding out that he followed her nearly everywhere in secret to make sure she was never in danger. Sometimes he went off to do his own thing and came back to her after a while to check on her just to reduce his risk of being found out. That's what he had done today and he quietly walked over to her now, lingering behind a tree as he peeked out to watch her speak to the man that was maybe a little younger than himself. His ears were perked forward in an attempt to catch their words but the distance kept him from hearing everything. What he did hear drove him out of the shadows. He walked over to stand next to Roza, a contrast in pretty much every way in comparison to her. Size, coloring, height made him nearly oposite of her, but he certainly inherited her heart. "I'll help," he said firmly, trying to ignore the immediate objections Roza was sure to throw at him. "I'm Ulric, Roza and Ganta's son. I owe a lot to Yale for looking for my sister when I was too young to do it myself... besides the fact that they took my father from me when all they had to do was take our pack and leave." He didn't often let himself think about the wolves that caused all of this. He would much rather focus on his sister and mother and what he could do to take care of them. But now... the opportunity was in front of him and he felt obligated to step up where his mother seemed unwilling to. He understood her reasons but his sense of honor forced him to act. He glanced down at his mother for a moment before he looked back up at the man in front of them. "What's your plan? How can I help?" |
