this is for the lions

Eraithus was filled with energy. His life had been better, he thought himself on a different path but he accepted what happened to him. He had Habari, Recluse and any other member under that umbrella. Although every day was a new one, today he decided to be up during the day. Occasionally hed do this though knowing that most of the pack was nocturnal. The hot springs, as he approached his tail wagged. A nice soak in the waters would be nice. Yet as he went to put a paw in the water he saw.... a pup!

He blinked a bit confused. Pups this young normally were within the borders of a pack, or with their loner parents. Eraithus smelled the air, he didnt smell any wolves nearby. Curiosity struck him mixed with worry for this young pup. He walked closer but kept his distance. Not wanting to threaten the pup and in case it was a trap. Hed known raiders to use pups as ambush distractions before. Nothing was too horrific in life.

"Rather young to be wandering around the Hot Springs." He softly said with a smile. He didnt want to assume but this is why he asked. Eraithus paws stayed firm, and he slowly wagged his tail. Keeping his body posture tall but seemingly soft. His blue eyes admiring the marks on the young pup anyway.
