Calm down
for Theory

Something in the air seemed to shift, quite suddenly. Living so close to Mount Volkan, he'd seen the plumes of smoke billowing from its peak in the near distance more than once - something that had been going on for as long as anyone remembered, as far as he knew. There was something different about this time, though. It seemed thicker, more ominous.. enough to catch Theory's attention, at least. Her suddenly shifting attention drew his toward it as well, at least for a moment, as he swung his head around to glance that direction before looking back to Theory. "Alpha? Really?" Corvus's tone wasn't disbelieving, but surprised.. and a fair bit impressed. Keeping Abaven run by family was important. It was a responsibility that he himself had never really wanted, and he felt no hint of envy at the admission. For a moment he wondered if the other youngsters in Abaven would feel the same. When he was younger, he could imagine feeling a bit jealous if Aiden or Rhea had gotten some position over him.. but that was back then, and a far cry from how he felt now. "That's a big responsibility. And it'll keep you busy. Along with all that training," he teased lightly, grinning at her. "Don't worry, I won't-" Corvus started, but suddenly all thoughts of training and Theory's new position slipped away from him all at once. The earth suddenly began to quake, far more violently than he anticipated. The shaking was followed by a loud crack - a sound that made him feel as though his head itself had been split. Though he didn't necessarily shriek or cry out, as Theory had, he certainly looked horrified. "Oh.. shit.." The volcano had always seemed like.. something just there, vaguely threatening as it stood lumbering in the distance, but never something he knew they needed to fear. But the way it suddenly seemed to come alive, sending the earth itself into an uproar, definitely scared the shit out of him.. and made him think that they needed to run, far away from this place. Their home - well, it wasn't all that important, was it? Not at the risk of their safety. "Let's... fuck, we need to go!" Shaye's call suddenly split through the rumbling, and he started running that way.. turning to make sure Theory was following. So much for training... |
