Suku's head swiveled around to locate the source of the movement he heard in the bracken. As he caught sight of the massive female, his gaze widened in initial alarm at her war-hardened appearance. If he had thought for even a moment that he could fight off any challenger that might come across the border to fight him, he realized now he was sorely mistaken. Suku was hardly a coward, but he was smarter than his single-minded obsession would lead one to believe. He knew when he was outclassed. However, this knowledge, whilst it sent his heart pumping with adrenaline, only served to strengthen his resolve to make it back to his sister alive and in one piece, through whatever means necessary. He had stilled in his pacing upon her arrival, and he noted the wording of her greeting carefully. 'What do you require?' He was inclined to consider that a friendly greeting, for he'd expected upon seeing her appearance to be met with something more along the lines of, 'What dares to bring you to my border?!' He dipped his head in a respectful acknowledgement of her strength and power, and he took a deep breath to calm his frayed nerves before speaking, although his panic and a hint of distrust still bled into his voice around the edges. "My sister is very ill - I fear she will not make it without your help." He swallowed thickly, barely managing to choke out the words. He could not imagine a life without Suji, and he'd gladly swallow his pride if it meant saving her, but some part of him still did not trust anyone else with her care. In his haste, the thought of introductions had completely slipping his mind - names felt like silly things when he thought of the fact that his sister was in danger. He knew that her condition would likely need to be explained at some point, but he saw no need to attempt to explain it to the alpha when time was of the essence, and only the healer truly needed to know. "I left her not far from here, she's too weak to travel." He explained instead, raising his head from it's dipped position ever-so-slightly to meet the significantly larger wolf's single glowing eye, a desperate attempt to determine how carefully his offer was being considered. |
Suku is almost always with his sister, Suji.
