Turning Tables

like no king was before It was rare that the King should be alone with his children on this day, but he had granted Epiphron some time to herself - something she well deserved. However, a perplexed but delighted smile crossed his lips as her bark resounded into the den. "Back already, my queen?" However, she didn't enter. It seemed she was summoning him out. With a quick glance to the slumbering children, he gingerly stepped over the three of them and into the Kingdom. However, as his eyes of virus green focused on her, he noted that she was not alone. A child lingered just beyond her heels, a child only perhaps a few weeks older than his own children whom were still sleeping in the den. "What have we here?" He came forward, offering Epiphron a gentle brush of his cheek against her own, before bringing himself to her side and facing the child. "Hello, little lady." Had Epiphron found this child out on her own? Seracia - as protected as it might be - was not safe for a youngster, and beyond the borders was even more brutal. A thought crossed his mind to waken the children and let them meet the newcomer, but something told him there was more to the story. There had been a reason for Epiphron calling him out rather than coming inside with the girl herself, and he intended to find out what that reason was. His haunches bent and kissed the earth as he relaxed into a seated position, ears swiveling as he awaited a response. {Table coded by Lu} |
