Cover up the poison with poetry

Azure had been digging for so long he'd barely noticed the slow setting of the sun. Dirt and mud matted into his fur and chunks of the wet earth fell out from between his toes each time he thought to shake out his paws. It was hard work though a welcome distraction from the ocean of emotions that had threatened to swallow him whole over the last season. While he initially had plans only to use Venom for her power and future throne, some sort of closeness had grown between them.

It was something indescribable and foreign. Had his only confusion circled around only the crown princess then perhaps Azure would have been able to handle the feelings better, but the brightly colored she-wolf Hanako had snuck in close behind. Under the influence of both women the poor prince felt as if he was drowning and he had no idea who to approach to teach him to swim.

The sound of sniffles drew his attention and Azure tipped his head outside the den to investigate. Whoever it was, he had no interest in listening to their poor sad life story nor comforting whatever ridiculousness had brought such sorrow. He moved to very stealthily pad away back towards home before said sad-sack could interrupt his 'me time', though nearly tripped over his own paws as the scent hit him hard.

Before he could think otherwise the prince was sprinting towards the beach. He threw himself over the rocks and into the sand, a snarl building deep in his throat. What had dared to harm what was his? Azure saw no one nearby, though it did not temper his fury. "Who did it?" No greeting was given, only a sharp question from between clenched teeth. She'd tell him, and he'd go hurt them. It was the only way he knew how to act. While he awaited her reply he turned his gaze down the beach as if the wolf in question was hiding a few strides away.

"Speech"
"Thinking"
"You."
