old habits die hard

Saren was ready and willing to work for Aerie. He knew that he was old enough that he couldn’t get away with doing nothing like he had as a pup and that he’d be expected to pull his own weight. That expectation was more than fair. What scared Saren about Eligos’s words were that if he failed he wouldn’t be an Abraxas wolf anymore. Saren didn’t know exactly what that entailed, but he didn’t understand how that would work. They couldn’t just take away his last name, that was his name and they couldn’t stop him from worshipping Abraxas either. Saren had no intention of letting anybody down, but the consequences for if he did were a little frightening.

Seeing that Eligos was leaving Saren waiting until he had gotten a fair distance away before letting the stress held in his body dissipate. He had been holding tension in his body and as he let it go his back legs gave and he found himself in a sitting position. Looking up at Thalia he laughed a little and said “So that was intense.” Saren was admittedly a little worn out from the interaction and it showed. “I’m glad I’ll be back with you though.” He smiled at his sister, the hard part was over. Now it was on to the simpler things like gathering herbs and setting up his den. Yes, those were much simpler tasks.
