The pups reached their nine month mark of life this season and Noir was quickly closing in on his full adult height. While he wouldn’t tower over his siblings he would always be taller than them. At this point he was beginning to believe that he would be taller than Shaye and his father both. The thought excited him more than it should have. His life didn’t have much excitement right now, he was still suffering through his punishments. Watched day in and day out there wasn’t much besides working and going to lessons.
Shaye was taking him on a patrol, and it felt good to get his dark paws away from Abaven’s soils. The mother of his half sisters didn’t talk much, which he was thankful for really. He didn’t much enjoy talking to Shaye, he was always afraid he might say the wrong thing and she’d tack even more time onto his probation. Her eyes were the most critical.
He looked up at her as she asked him a direct question. ”No,” he answered shortly as she explained the origin of the place they now visited. He hadn’t heard much about the creatures Shaye spoke of, but they must have been impressive to accomplish what he was looking at. Even who knew how many years later the structure was still more than any wolf pack could accomplish. He halted a ways away, taking in the structure as he hard Shaye laugh.
The boy perked his ears in her direction, curious about what she’d found. He couldn’t quite make out anything in the darkness as she slowly shifted and backed away. Her voice was much less confident and it didn’t hold the amusement it had only moments before. ”Why?” He asked, taking a step forward instead. Noir just had to be contrary. His bright blue and lavender eyes searched the darkness for what could have possibly made Shaye so nervous so suddenly.
He trotted up to the entrance, eager and curious, hoping for some entertainment when he wasn’t allowed such things. Dark ears were trained forward as he stuck his face in the darkness and was promptly greeted with a painful stinging on his black nose. ”Hey!” He complained as he backed away from the entrance as Shaye had told him so to begin with. Noir kind of heard te growls and the hissing and for a moment he thought he’d been attacked by a venomous snake. His eyes widened in panic before the tabby cat raced after him.
He felt foolish for thinking he’d been bitten. ”That’s the smallest mountain lion I have ever seen.” The last time he’d encountered a cat was with Shaye. He’d been a bit younger then, and hadn’t really seen any since. He looked to Shaye again, finding that he actually wanted guidance from her.
