Lone Roamer

‘Well met,’ wasn’t a greeting he’d ever heard before but maybe it was a common one for wolves.  Wolves were a funny bunch with a different sort of pack lifestyle, at least he assumed so.  Kione had never spent time in a wolf pack and limited insight on wolves at all.  She had a more dignified air to her and the title ‘empress’ explained her demeanor.  Fancy.

“Empress? Well, that’s a fancy title,” Kione mused glancing at the path for a moment before looking to her.  Kione was shocked at the notion of being too busy for fun but it was followed up with an assumption that he wasn’t local. “No empress Venom, I’m from a solid ways off.”  The title was said in a rather informal still ‘chummy’ sounding manner, but at least it wasn’t ‘luv’ now. “I’m afraid had some bad luck with all that happened,” no need to mention the disasters on the land, there was no chance anything with half a brain wouldn’t be aware of it, “So, I’ve been trying to find more like me.  I don’t suppose you know where I might find my own kind?”  He didn’t specify that his entire family was dead, if she could come up with that assumption then it was fine.  Bad things didn’t need to be stories repeated over and over again.

“Empress?” He had to check on one more thing, “No time for fun? Everyone needs a bit o’ sport.  I tell you what, I could help you out today with whatever, ‘chores’,” the words said with a wave of his paw as if to make light of the word, “get them done faster then you could have a few hours to remember how important ‘fun’ is.”  Kione twitched his brows, “believe it or not, I can be quite the hard worker and I don’t mind giving a hand for a good cause.”  Fun was important.  Working hard was important to make sure there was more time for family and play. "Can't say I know much about wolves so hope its not an insult offering up the bargain."

Kione had never imagined offering a wolf help and doubted he would do so in the future.  Being alone was smothering, making it harder to enjoy life even for a happy fellow like Kione.  So, until he found a new true family, he could offer to show others the value of fun and do a bit of work.  Companionship was the only charge he’d place on it right now.
