Apparently lightning can strike twice

Ciná didn't respond right away when Tira began to question why he was here. It was a harder question to answer than he had really anticipated and instead focused on her and the water and anything that wasn't the fact that he yet again found himself homeless. He didn't think too much of the stunned expression that she wore as she spun around the face him, figuring it was just because she hadn't expected him to be in Boreas which by all accounts was a valid thought. He certainly wouldn't have come back to Boreas unless he had a good reason to do so. He smirked a bit when she quipped back at his comment about how good she felt and how that was his highest form of flattery. He did love their banter and the teasing they gave each other. Then the attention turned back again to why he was here, questioning if his whole reason for finding her was to get lucky again or to get a check up on his tail.

"I do owe you a 'thank you' for the tail, so... thank you." he replied with a soft chuckle, his tail wagging gently to show it was indeed still attached and functional. He honestly couldn't remember if he had thanked her before or not in his drugged up state so it didn't hurt to cover his bases. That really only left his reason for being here in question and his expression sobered up a bit as his ears flicked uncomfortably. "I wish I was here just to sleep with you again," he muttered with a slight scoff, sighing softly as he settled onto his haunches at the edge of the pool. "I, um... Fenmyre is gone," he finally admitted. "The alpha is sick and he went away to find somewhere he could recover and took his family with him so... The pack dissolved." He glanced away with a dismissive shrug, a frown tugging at his lips.

"I feel like it's strange for something like this to happen to someone twice," he added absently after a moment, his voice kind of distant and his brows furrowing. "The first time it was simply because my father was an idiot, but... I guess I never expected this from Chimera." Ciná sighed again and gave a small shake of his head before finally bringing his golden gaze back down to Tira where she was floating in the water in front of him. "Anyway... I, uh... Since I wasn't sure where else to go I thought I might come find you and see if you... and maybe see if you wanted to take in a homeless wanderer." He shrugged nonchalantly, trying his best to play off his own emotions and how much he actually wanted something good to work out in his life for once. He tried to pull a slightly cocky grin onto his lips as he added, "Only if you could handle me living around you all the time, of course."
