oath of silence

The man was only slightly disturbed by the raptor as her harsh voice chastised the dark furred male. The white bird ruffled her feathers in obvious nuisance as the stranger addressed her, however she remained mostly quiet after he acknowledged her. Ysmir didn’t shift as Iarlaith moved a little closer and gave him a critical eye. It seemed like the stranger had mostly forgiven the boy for his transgression and the star speckled boy allied himself to regain his confident stance. Head up, attention forward as he stood proudly with his impressive bird on his dark hips.

At least until the dark furred man spoke again, his power of observation was uncanny. Immediately the boy’s head fell slightly. He tried to hide his shame in his actions, he had indeed come out without permission or letting anyone know his intentions. Not that he had planned to come in contact with anyone while he was out here but when did anyone ever plan an emergency or disaster?

Right after Iarlaith subtly assured him that there would be no tattle tailing. However much Fireside was more likely to deliver retribution than reward for bringing home a wayward boy like Ysmir. The young Finnvi shrugged again and recovered as he tried to fully rid himself of the cowardice he continued to show. This wasn’t who he was supposed to be, his parents taught him to be strong and unapologetic for his actions. His pride was worth more than the weird feelings he’d gathered after disturbing the stranger.

Ysmir shook his head in agreement with the stranger, his current position outside pack lands wasn’t any of his business. The boy’s tail flagged slightly, he’d hid any other nervousness except the way his striped and speckled tail swayed at his hips.
