With a gentle pat pat atop his head, Iolaire released the man so that he could sit up once more. Surely being all scrunched up was uncomfortable. Sirius expressed his displeasure at her commitment to stay only a few days. Io met his blue gaze with her piercing green and gold. "Your life is here. I'm not meant for cold places." That bit was just a fluff reason. She could have worn a cloak. "My mother died in that castle," she began in her typical, matter of fact tones. "My brother's bones are there." And if that wasn't reason enough, "They are a young alpha pair and they would benefit from someone wise watching over them." That would be her, of course. Wise old Iolaire. "Besides, there's a child there that I rather like and I've promised her more lessons." Sirius should have been able to understand the desire to protect family. Her mother had chosen to adopt her lover's litter and had given him the family name. That made Artorias her younger brother, blood or no. Iolaire had the desire to see the boy succeed. "Should we head back to a cave somewhere or are we just going to sit out here all day?" Without waiting for a reply, Iolaire merrily pranced past Sirius and started back towards the mountain caves. "I don't plan on dying again for a long time," she informed him. "You can visit the castle whenever you'd like and I can visit you whenever I'd like." Seemed like a fair trade to her. "Speech" |
Io has a dwarf caribou companion and a snow leopard companion. Assume they aren't with her unless stated otherwise.
