Dial Tone

The pale pink boy keeps to himself, content to stay away from the others while paying rapt attention to what Medusa has to say. It is easier to stay detached from others, the less strings there are, the less attention Enki has to pay to relationships. Light blue eyes stay glued on the Wraith as she begins the meeting and the boy does his best to follow along. He nods in appropriate places, liking the idea of training with Avalon. He had promised to be of use to Insomnia and that includes being ready to fight for it.

Medusa speaks of Ashen and a faint memory attempts to push to the surface, a fire-kissed woman with horns forms in his mind before he swiftly erases it like a picture in the sand. Next came the promotions and Enki allows his eyes to roam over the crowd as he attempts to spy which members receive what ranks. Truthfully, the boy is content to be a Curse, knowing that the title truly reflects who he is. At the news of a wolf named Cricket, his baby blue eyes land on the green wolf and linger for a few moments, his gaze dull and empty of anything and everything.

Suddenly, he hears Medusa say his name and Enki slowly shifts his gaze to meet her own. Sluggishly his eyes blink as she offers him the title of Memory and the boy feels… something. It is a strange emotion that wells in his chest, feeling physically heavy and it causes his eyes to sting. Head bows in respect at the offered title and, while he internally rebels at the stripping of his former one, the boy does not protest. The talk moves on but Enki keeps his head bowed, eyes glued to his large paws as the prick that stung the back of his eyes steadily grows. Big, fat wet drops suddenly plop down on top of his paws and he starts, surprised to find they are coming from him.

A word swirls in his mind unlike any he remembers and it stirs the deep hidden emotions within him. Gratitude. It causes the water to fall from his eyes and Enki quickly stomps it out, knowing that emotions are extremely dangerous things. Talk of raids buzzes about his ears and he slowly absorbs the words, head still bowed and eyes still glued on his paws as there is a natural pause in the meeting. Mentally, he vows to do everything he can to better himself but his mouth remains firmly shut.
