It was strange for him to feel like this all over again. He never did forget the feeling of it when he had first met Baine. And it was far different than when he had been with Heloise. With Baine it was almost instant. With Heloise, it had taken time for the feelings to even emerge...neither had lasted long, what with both of them disappearing. But here she was again, and in no time at all, those feelings had resurfaced without any effort other than her presence. It was...surreal for him. As old as he was he didn't think he'd get another chance, and yet, here was the possibility. "I'm sure he thinks he is. That's Nolan... He's my son," So she had found someone too? Of course...who was he to get his hopes up like that? She was too much of a beautiful person to not have found someone. "I had a mate for a little while - a man that I met in the band of wolves we stayed with after we ran from Ruina. He was a bit older than I was and passed away before Nolan turned one." He lifted his head to look at her as she spoke, noting the sadness he heard in her voice. So she had someone, and he passed away. "I'm sorry to hear that. It's...not easy...losing someone you loved." He really meant that. Then the wave of sadness hit him when he thought of Elias...but alas, it wasn't his time to grieve right now. He had done that long ago already.

"Nolan is my only child and he's very protective, as I'm sure you can tell," He chuckled for a moment as he nodded, "Yes, I can tell." He looked past her to Nolan, offering a smile to the youth before addressing him, "It's nice to meet you, Nolan!" He called to him, offering a wink as well. "What about you? Are you... with anyone?" He returned his attention to her, the pale king trying his best to hide the hurt that came with the question. "I did, but...not anymore..." He sighed as he struggled to contain the emotions. "She uh...Heloise, we..." He sat down and curled his tail around his feet as he took a deep breath. "I had met someone. She joined the pack last year, she was...significantly younger than me. She was a member of the pack and at some point...we developed feelings for each other. Trust. It led to us having pups, five of them. But...shortly after they were born, she left. I don't know why but...I've been telling the kids she returned to her homeland to help with a situation there. I...don't know if they believe me, but I didn't want to tell them their mother abandoned them." He cleared his throat as he tried to forget the pain that her abandonment brought. "I haven't seen her since. So..." Man, how pathetic did that all sound?
