Walk | "Talk" | Think Rune could not express how great it felt for him to be able to forget the troubles that had been plaguing his mind, if only for this short moment. Alamea's unexpected greeting and excited affection did well enough to keep those thoughts temporarily at bay, allowing him instead to focus upon her nuzzles, her kisses, the weight of her laying atop him. Eagerly he continued to nuzzle into her neck as he felt her rasp her tongue against his shoulder, feeling as if the absence they had shared had been considerably longer than it truthfully was. At least at the beginning, when they had first parted with the promise of meeting again, he had had pack life to distract him. Now however... Thoughts took a definite tumble as they coursed along their new path, evident by the sudden stillness that slowly crept into him. She caught it too, heard it in his voice or noticed in his movements, and naturally gave voice to it, nothing more than a whisper against his ear. He said nothing at first, still reluctant to even admit the news was truth let alone state it aloud and make it real. But even as he kept his eyes clenched shut, drawing back just a little from the pretty white wolf who had grown to mean so much to him, he knew he was past the point of denying it. He was working towards remedying things, and so he needed to own up to the fact there was a problem in need of fixing. "Tortuga's been taken," the grey wolf answered, his voice quietly hoarse as the subject was very close to his heart. The loss of the territory was nearly as bad as losing his mother a second time. "Someone came in and claimed it right out from underneath Morphine's paws." He let his pale blue eyes open to peer up into Alamea's sweet face, meeting her spring pink eyes with a noticeable disappointment and sadness within his own. "I haven't seen anyone from there since." He has successfully spoiled their happy reunion, he was sure of it. He could only hope that Alamea would understand how deep of a loss it was for him, and not hold his sudden sad mood against him. |
