Moving On

The girl didn't let any emotion show when he gave her information about her brother's absence and that was answer enough. He hadn't told her that he was leaving. What a stupid boy Balthier was. Family was the most important thing and here he was, creating a huge rift between himself and his sister. Chimera hoped that the man would come to his senses at some point and come home to apologize to the woman, but only time would tell. With how closed off Balthier had been, the King wasn't holding his breath.

Together the pair moved towards the empty bungalows. There were many on the island and Chimera imagined that this place had once housed many, many creatures. Some lost civilization. Not only were there bungalows along the back of the island, but there were some scattered across the front as well near where the yacht was. The King had just begun exploring the giant structure that stood up into the sky. It was an eerie place but there were hundreds of rooms within. Until he could fully explore, he forbade his wolves from venturing inside.

Azzurra made her choice, leading him to one of the smaller bungalows. Chimera nodded, giving the permission that she had been searching for. Her words brought a low chuckle from the brute. "Your pack," she had said. "Azzurra, this is your pack as well. Is Fenmyre not your home? Am I not your King? You've just as many rights and just as much say here as anyone else." Whether she'd come here with her brother or not, Azzurra was now his wolf. She didn't need to tread lightly in her own home.

When the woman offered to return whatever furs she took from the stores, Chimera's haunches folded and he sat, staring down at the small fae. "You don't need to replace anything. The stores are at your disposal. It's what they're for." An obsidian shoulder lifted in a shrug. "If you happen to hunt and can add to the stores, that's fine. It's not a requirement, however." A big paw lifted and he patted the diminutive fae's head lightly right between her ears. "Be easy. This is your home, Azzurra. Your home. This should be the most comfortable place in the world for a wolf." He wasn't entirely sure of her upbringing, but he didn't want her to feel shy or reserved in her own home. That would make him feel as though he'd failed her as her king.
