A sound like thunder

Ricin stops short of engaging the taller wolf when he smells another the wind. After he introduces himself, the larger male answer that the smell is unknown to him and he dips his head in understanding. Then a question suddenly accures to the boy and he says, “Hey wait. How did you know I am from Elysium? Oh! Have you met Manea?” Blue tail wags as the bigger male begins to turn and Ricin quickly adds, “Oh wait! I know your pack! My friend Hikaru lives there. Do you know him?” The blue boy is suddenly very eager to know how the spotty wolf is fairing. But, there is a wolf that needs help and it would be selfish of Ricin to question man further.

While the other wolf may have questioned in his decision to turn his back on Ricin, the blue boy does not have a mean bone in his body and the thought of harming the stranger never crosses his mind. His body is relaxed as he follows the larger male closely, the pair slowly approaching the curled-up wolf. The form untucks and the young female wolf moves to stand, legs weak and shaking from her own body weight. Burrows furrow in worry as his ruby gaze inspects the other, new wolf. Gentle, soft voice speaks up as he says, “Hello there. Um, you might not want to stay here. I know there are a lot of fights that take place here and it might not be safe.”

Eyes roam over the weak wolf’s form and he notes how her ribs poke out on her sides. Ruby gaze turns up to the bigger male silently questioning what they should do. This man is older and surely, with age comes wisdom. Ricin is trusting him and, he can only hope, that his trust isn’t misplaced.
