Curiosity

Bane's heart went out to his once-mate as she spoke of how her litter, their litter, had scattered amongst the lands and that Nako didn't really seem to have a good family to go back too. So conditions would determine that he would stay in Seracia. Alena had been struck down it seemed, the way she held herself, how her ear pinned back and her violet eyes he once gazed into with lust now only looked tired. The past few season hadn't been kind to either of them it seemed, Bane finding that he could only nod along with her words despite how lukewarm they seemed.

"Nako will be fine, I can only hope that he is making a good impression with packmates with actions that I hope don't remind Seracians of how I behaved. But the old saying 'like sire like son' didn't come about due to good behavior." The joke felt empty as Bane didn't even so much as smirk. Alena mused about how she should have stayed in Seracia, the elder wolf didn't say anything and only though of the possibilities for Tahlia and Alena and if they would've got along. The white she-wolf reached over and licked his cheek, Bane feeling a smoldering of lust overcome him but stamped it out one he saw her leave with a few kind words given for him. "You too, I'll manage somehow..." And with his one remaining eye he watched her go into the tree-line and disappear after a few moments. The twice-banished gave a curious sniff of his water and lapped up a maw full before swallowing again. Tasty... and he didn't have anybody to share it with.

-Bane is alone-
