So I stayed in the darkness with you.

Walk | Talk | Think Rune had been close when he had heard the call. Ever since their last meeting he had been sticking nearby Alamea's scent, remaining out of sight but nearby where she and the rest of the Valhallans resided and even following when those who had been sheltering in Seracia were called back. She might not have known, but he could hardly allow himself to venture too far from where she was, more worried now than before that she might be in danger. She had confided in him the crippling, traumatic experience that she had had to endure in the company of her brother, a fact that had caused her blood to boil at the mere thought of someone so willing to take advantage of her, and ever since she had been at the forefront of his mind. His black paws carried his large, pale grey frame easily through the familiar landscape of the thicket, just another part of the eastern territories near Tortuga that he had roamed through as a child. Of course, the wintry weather changed things slightly, causing the tall, reedy grasses to become even more brittle and dry and the typical rustling of the large shrubs, now all reduced to bare sticks, absent with the migration of the birds. But it was all familiar to him, even with the change that had settled over it. As had been the voice to call to him. In an instant he had known it to be her, the little white wolf with the spring pink eyes, though the urgency in it was something else entirely. It did not speak of pain or fear, nor happiness or excitement. It was...different, new to him, hinting at something that he could not explain or pinpoint but that he knew was a matter of importance, something to do with Alamea that required him immediately. And being so close already he had not made the slightest hesitation in answering her call. When he came upon her, she was shifting about on her paws, moving with agitated, nervous fidgets. What had gotten her so worked up and anxious? His brow furrowed as he padded closer, head already lowered and tail giving a slow wag behind him as he chuffed at her in greeting. He did not slow or stop until he was right upon her, halting at her side and wasting no time in pressing his face into the fur upon her neck, just as he was sure she would do in return. "Everything alright?" he asked, tone low and coated with just a touch of concern. It was not like her to call to him in this manner, though as his frosty blue eyes scanned across her features as he drew slightly back he felt considerably glad that she had. |
