What goes up..

The two of them waited in relatively uncomfortable silence, Kai wondering what had gotten into him to let Tyranis call his alpha. Kai was a free man, and borders were meaningless to him, and yet... Tyranis's happiness still mattered to him, and if this was what his lover wanted to do, Kai would accept the consequences. He was still when Acere arrived, biting into his own tongue quite literally to keep himself from speaking. Instead of seeming nervous, as Ty visibly did, he seemed simply... blank. He wasn't quite sure what to do, or what to say, but he was far from afraid. Tyranis boldly requested permission for him to come and go as he pleased. Kai didn't want permission. He wanted to do what he felt like, without anyone knowing, let alone allowing it. He tried not to bristle. "Ty knew nothing of my trespassing. My visit was a surprise, and he tried to get me to leave," Kai decided to explain - no, to lie - after a moment of thought. He didn't mirror Tyranis's submissive posture, though he knew he was likely foolish to not submit, caught in the act of trespassing. He didn't expect Acere to say yes. He merely raised a brow as he spoke, listening intently and holding back from making a snarky comment that would surely get Ty punished even more than he already might be. "So be it," he said simply, though his words of warning were stewing in his head as a challenge more than anything else. Would he comply with Acere's wishes? The threat of being claimed or scarred didn't deter him as much as it would most wolves - or as much as it should - though the thought of making Tyranis's life any more difficult than it had been these last few seasons wasn't an appealing thought to him. Even more unnerving was the direct threat to his own freedom. Perhaps he'd been lucky in that the strong urge to cross a pack's borders had never struck him, but suddenly the urge felt overwhelming, and being told he couldn't was rubbing him the wrong way. Even the way Acere implied he was being unfaithful to his mate was making him feel agitated in a way he didn't know how to handle. Would Tyranis tell her about Kai? He was all for living freely, but feeling like he was some kind of forbidden secret likewise didn't make him feel great. Kai wasn't something to be ashamed of - and if Tyranis wasn't being honest with others, was he being honest with himself? Was he living life to its fullest? He wasn't sure he could express himself without further damaging Ty's reputation here. He grimaced, fighting the faint smirk that threatened to tug at his lips. "I apologize for the misunderstanding," Kai started, his gaze finding Ty's for a moment. "Ty - until next time, my love." He cast Acere a steady look and a barely noticeable nod before turning and beginning his departure. - attempted exit - |
