She seemed to think his comment was funny and he took her laughter in stride though it was a bit of a blow to his ego. Tortuga didn't have much water in it, his mountainous home had a waterfall if you bothered to travel that far up the mountain but generally you had to move around to get water. Ah mountains, how he didn't miss them. But he still found himself grinning along with her, her laughter making him want to smile even if it was directed at him.

Her words made his heart freeze for a moment, had she said Valhalla? Well last time he had been home in Tortuga Desdemona had been trying to make a deal with Valhalla though he had left before it had ever come to fruition. How had that gone? "I was born in Tortuga but it wasn't for me so I left and started-" "Back away from her. Slowly.? Came a sharp voice, weak but commanding none the less, cutting him off and causing the large male to cast a glance over his shoulder. A rather scrawny and underweight male was a short distance away from them. Vixe was on his paws instantly, doing as instructed. He hadn't talked to Isa about Glaciem's standing with other packs and defiantly didn't want to do anything to anger either of these wolves.

A questioning glance was tossed to Azalea before turning back to the male as he spoke again. ?Step away from the one who holds my heart in her paws.? He practically hissed and Vixe had to look away so neither would see him smile. Love... There was no such thing. After the way his mother had treated his father he had a very skewed perspective on love and what it did to people. But that was their business not his. He didn't look back until he had regained his composure, expression relaxing into it's normally stoic arrangement. Azalea was bowed down before the scrawny male at this point, asking him what he had done. He didn't need to be here. Apparently they were close if not mates and it felt too intimate for him to be around. So he nodded to the male and if Azalea turned to look at him he would nod a quick goodbye to her as well.

He had already been gone too long. So with that he turned and massive paws carried him over the snow and back towards Glaciem's territory.
