With Kaino and Rhazien as traveling companions, the boy waits for the appearance of a bear. While Ezekiel hadn’t really gone out of his way to get to know the rest of his distant family, he also has not denied them any requests for help. While his expression has been schooled to appear bored and distant, the Saxe boy cannot deny the heat of excitement that has begun to warm his blood. The musk of the creature has lit his nerves on fires and they tingling with anticipation while he carefully keeps his expression neutral.
Why? Well, just because they bare his surname, doesn’t mean that Zeke completely trusts them. In fact, since they are all Saxe’s maybe Ezekiel knows better than most that he
cannot trust them. It doesn’t bother him though because they are all beasts with similar appetites and, as long as they keep their paws off his beloved sister, then he will no quarrel with them. And, since they are family, he will even go out of his way to be…
understanding with them. Kindness isn’t a word he knows but Zeke will happily tolerate them all as long as their interests align.
The wind picks up the drifts of snow, throwing them at the trio to cover their coats and dull the brighter colors of their coats. Ears are pinned back against his head as he attempts to keep the frozen water out his ears while his eyes scan the blurry landscape for the signs of the polar bear. Kaino spots it first and her sultry tones pull his deep blue gaze to her. Blinking, he simply dips his head in agreement, casting a glance to Rhazien and finding his hard gaze directed toward him. The mask slips a little as his tips tug into a smirk and he watches as first Kaino, then Rhazien break away, leaving him alone to watch their approaches. The girl takes a heel while the bigger, stronger male takes it head on and Zeke absently nods to himself, agreeing that this is the most logic approach to fighting the beast.
And then there is him.
Ezekiel is the wild card, the ace in the hole that no one is expecting and he decides to live up that title. Kicking off, he races into the fray, running up from behind the bear. However, unlike Kaino, he does not settle for a back leg and his muscle suddenly bunch and release as he leaps high into the air. Soaring over the bear’s rump, he lands heavily on the creature’s back and quickly hunkers down. The body underneath him sags for a moment as it compensates for the extra weight and he carefully crawls forward until he can latch onto the area between the ears. With loud growls his thrashes his head, forelegs snaking out to wrap around the thick neck while his hind legs squeeze in the sides of the bear in an effort to keep him balanced for the wild ride that is sure to come.
