From Time to Time

Some part of him knew he was asking her to give a lot, to display her trust of him. Whatever was bothering her was serious, and by divulging it to him she would have to take a great leap of faith that he was trustworthy enough to be given such information. Still, he understood that she may not want to share with him, and that would be fine as well. It was understandable that some information wasn't easily shared - heck, he was the poster-boy for such information, but he still had divulged it to most of his Kingdom because it had been necessary to do so. It was true that he had not bothered to tell her of his antics outside of Seracia during his vacation. He hardly felt it would be interesting - and besides.. it was a part of him he'd rather not share, even with Loccian. It occurred to him then just how much of a double-standard he had. Here he was asking for her secrets when he wasn't even willing to share some of his own. The ex-King's ears flickered back at this notion.

Surprisingly, the woman spoke up - beginning a tale that baffled the Ambassador. Reficul, the pup Loccian had only recently adopted, had been murdered. He hoped that a burial had been given for the child, but didn't have the heart to ask as Loccian continued. The killer was unknown, though the child had been badly wounded. Panthers, bears, other wolves, anything could harm a child. It would be extremely hard to determine what had harmed the pup. It was a pity, really, she was so young - with so much life ahead of her. I am truly sorry, Loccian. I can't imagine how horrible that was to find her in such a state. If only he had been there to bury the child, though he supposed his son had taken part - or some other notable member of the Kingdom. Surely Loccian hadn't been left to her own devices in burying the child herself? I trust she was given the funeral she deserved? He hadn't had the chance to meet the child, but any wolf taken from Seracia deserved to be buried with honor and mourning.

Tail remained tucked tightly in front of him, while his head twisted to the side to gaze at her - empathy in his amethyst eyes. She had seen so much turmoil lately, so much tribulation. Her brother had died, sending her into a fit of grief that had harmed her health and well being, and now Reficul had been taken from her as well. Loccian was on thin ice - sanity wise - he was sure, and Gerhardt intended to do what he could to keep her sane and happy - if happiness was possible now.
