like watching over a thermonuclear reactor

Akito was concerned about picking out the best bone when Erick’s growl reached him. Both ears pressed forward as he turns quickly on his heels. Who? Monochrome eyes search the deserted plains full of bones and bodies. Not much to see except… A shadow. Behemoth in size matching that of his father and Kaicho.

Every muscle in his body froze as he waited. Breath slow and shallow as his own hackles rose and ears pinned back. He watched as the night coated man approached mother and spoke to her. Called her by her name as if they knew each other. Yet, they did not know this man and he was not of Tojo-Kai. Concern rippled through him for a fleeting moment before he took off.

Racing toward his mother, he slides in between Sedna and Vidarr. His chin tilted upward so that he stares right at the man. “Who’re you?” Akito growls as he glares down the man as he protectively backs up until his butt is touching Sedna’s shoulder.
