Plague slipped out of his armor and sat it off to the side against one of the pale trees along the edges of the training area with a satisfied sigh. He had spent most of the day helping any wolves that happened to come through the area with a bit of training - but paid special attention to his nieces and nephews. Being an uncle had brought out such an odd softness in him that he hadn't been expecting, but he was proud of all the progress they were making even while still being so young. There was still a very special place in his heart for little Ike and he'd have a hard time denying it if anyone ever accused him of playing favorites. She certainly got the majority of his attention during these little training sessions. As the sun began to set, he had sent the pups away to go back to the dens before it got too dark and now he sat with a soft smile lingering on his lips as he watched Viridis and Procella playing in the middle of the training ring in front of him. Now that his challenge was over he had begun to split his time more and more with Void, but occasionally he forced himself to be here for a full day to do things like this and make sure he was still fulfilling his end of the bargain with being their Daimyo. The evening was quiet and peaceful and as much as he tried to keep his attention focused here his mind continued to wander to the milky way emblazoned man. It made him wish that Void was here with him now to enjoy this crisp evening together. His ears perked with surprise when he heard his sister's voice calling for him, pulling his gaze away from the wrestling snow leopards as he looked out into the shadows of darkening forest for Venom's form. "Over here!" he called back to her, scanning the trees until she came into view. He gave her a soft smile and nodded to the spot beside him. "Would you like to join me?" He hadn't seen her since the sermon that Toxicity had led and had purposefully put the sigil lesson in the back of his mind so that he wouldn't have to address it, though he knew he would need to sooner rather than later. Once she was seated beside him he glanced back up at the sky where there stars had begun to reveal themselves. He was quiet for a moment, but eventually broke the silence as he asked softly, "Venom... Do I need to attend any more of Toxicity's lessons? How badly would my absence be felt?" |
