big brotherly duty

Kotori had been casually walking towards the border thinking of going to find some prey to hunt down.  He was getting better and wanted to keep up the progression.  Working out a plan for the day in his mind was cut off when he heard another wolf calling out for Iki’s boyfriend.  Boyfriend?  Kotori’s tail wagged with its own mind before he stilled it.  Why would that label please him to hear?  Stupid.  For that matter, he hadn’t exactly told anyone that he liked a girl and imagined questions.  It wasn’t the way he wanted family to hear he liked a girl.

Kotori jogged out to where the little ass wolf was calling from.  Little apparently was a mistaken word choice as this wolf was even a bit taller than he was.  Kotori would guess more like dad’s size, and he not only had horns but also fangs like some members of Kotori’s family.

“Yeah, he is.  Shut the hell up,” Kotori called out in a not-so-friendly greeting, “Who are you?” Kotori’s voice lowered a bit as he got neared and no need to speak up across farther distance.  Ashen, that much was easy to scent.  He also had horns but hey they were becoming the fashionable thing these days.  Was he related to Iki?  Kotori guessed it was possible but the tail was sure different, and where his little princess could curl up so nicely besides Kotori this guy was even larger than Kotori.  Did the fact they both have horns and black in their coat suggest a relation? Eh, maybe or maybe it was some other reason.  Either way, the guy had a big mouth and an attitude.

“I’m Prince Kotori Fatalis,” the brownish wolf formally put out there.  Ikigai had been upfront fast when he met her of station so let it be no doubt that he was just as much pureblood if this guy needed to know it.  “She told you I’m her boyfriend?” The words were questioned irritably but really he wanted to hear what she had told this guy.  She talked about him when they weren’t together?
