Shrine High

The question in his voice as he said her name made her heart clench, and she was sure she didn't have one of those. "We didn't get the Shrine, huh?" Having been the first place she'd expected him to be, Dea had sought out the Shrine where Archon had washed her face after her fight with the brat, Caelestis. Instead of Archon, she had found the scent of a pack lingering still, it was an unexpected blow. Defeat was also the only other thing she could imagine would have him in such a tiff. Pacing the way he was, the blow to his spirit had to be much harder.

Not bothering to wait on his answer, Dea gave a small smile. "Come on, let's go kill something. All that pacing energy could be channeled into more productive things than ditch digging." She would be doing the same, padding a rut into the ground. She came to stand beside him and aimed to nudge him with her shoulder. A wink was tossed over to Obi, and with a grin, Dea moved away toward where deer had been spotted. Hoping Archon followed her, she could only guess at what he felt for now but she knew when a distraction was needed.
