i like where we are, here

Aureus seemed interested in his father’s work, Eliphas had noticed that the wolves here were not as in tune with the trees and the earth as his sire had been. Even his mother didn’t seem to have the connection that the old man did. ”He was much like an alpha, but instead of a pack of wolves the trees and the animals were his followers. It’s hard to explain I guess, but he was always more.. primal than anyone else I have ever met.” Eli tried to give the other young man a glimpse into his father’s life.

Dual toned eyes were curious as he didn’t fail to miss the other wolf’s own wandering gaze. He felt his skin flush a tiny bit under the explorative ogling. Pink lips pulled back in a secret grin as Aureus returned his attention to his pack and the items he had there. Eliphas didn’t hide his own curious gaze as he watched his new acquaintance work the items in his deft paws. Aureus was indeed a soldier, his only real passion thus far but Eliphas was sure he had more talents than that.

Eliphas allowed himself to watch Aureus for a long moment before he answered, there weren’t many that he allowed to know what his real passion was. He debated if he could trust the man with his well guarded secret. He blinked his pink and ice blue eyes as Aureus crafted his little clay ball. ”If I tell you... “ He started, the hesitation obvious in his voice. ”Promise you wont laugh at me.” There weren’t many who even believed in magic, but Eli was proud of his potions and wasn’t sure if he could take the blow to his ego.
