teach me a thing or two

Things had been quiet in the empire, he had carried on with his experiments and Fauldr had proven himself to be a worthy assistant. He had come to accept that the upper echelons of the pack were beyond his reach, but he was content to teach the empire’s young and have their opinion of him surpass that of the Abraxas elders. Malleus seemed content with him but he had yet to meet the other members in spite of his near constant activity. Perhaps there was more to his father and grandfather’s belief of their heritage than he gave credit. Maybe they sensed the two demons living inside of him, although they had never spoken to him directly.

Fauldr gripped his shoulder and brought his attention to a young woman, he cocked his head as she tutted about the garden, wondering just what she was doing. He put on the mask that was the wolf he once was and smiled kindly before he stepped closer toward her. She was not his enemy, he had no reason to let her see the viper that lived in his heart.

“Good morning.” He said brightly, his tail waving nonthreateningly as his tongue lulled out of the side of his mouth. Lately one of his ears had developed a small crook that only added to his generally charming appearance. The woman was not much taller than himself but his gangly legs made him look more spindly and slight than herself. No, he would never be a fighter like his father, but the darkness in his heart would never allow him to never spill blood. Today however, nothing had warranted either a fight nor a poisoning. The woman was innocent and no threat to him, so he of course would be no threat to her.
