An Unexpected Welcome

Redrum watched Lukina chuckle, appreciating her light-hearted response. Her relief was evident, and he couldn't help but find some satisfaction in having helped her. His unique speech patterns didn't seem to faze her, which he found somewhat comforting. It was evident by the way his tail wagged at his hocks.

"Insomnia is– good place for– healing." He assured her, noting her laughter at his suggestion of bear meat with another swish of his crimson tail. His face remained composed, yet predatory. "Bear meat– can be– tough, but satisfying." The young brute added, his golden eyes gleaming with a hint of amusement. When she agreed to follow, Redrum gave a small nod. "This way." He instructed, moving forward with practiced ease. He ensured the pace was manageable for her, frequently glancing back to check on her condition.

As they navigated the forest, Redrum remained vigilant, his senses on high alert for any potential threats. Despite the lingering tension from their encounter with the bear, he found a certain calmness in leading Lukina to safety. Soon, they would arrive at the border of Insomnia, and he would call out for Enki as the current Wraith. A fact that was still strange to the red youth. ”Behave, yes? Redrum will– vouch for –Lukina.” He offered, a twitch of his skull as his eyes sought her own.
