A Drop in the Ocean

Had he known she was the holder of the lands he might've been more courteous, more chivalrous - but as it stood he had no earthly clue, and behaved as such. Granted, he was almost always kind and gentle, and this was no exception. "Well, seeing as these are my borders, I think it'll be okay. If my followers pick a bone with you over it, I'll back you up." Eyes widened as this particular phrase rang from the woman's throat, her trachea vibrating with pride and leadership. An ear flickered back, then another, as his head and neck bowed low in reverence. "My sincerest apologies for intruding on your rest, Your Grace, I fear I have made a mockery of myself." He watched as she stood, turning away from him before looking back as if he were supposed to follow. With a moment's hesitation he would follow, allowing a gentle laugh to slip past his lips. "I won't bite you, I promise. Heat makes me surly. Come on, I'm not about to leave a mannerly brute to shrivel up and die while my lake rests but a few paces away. Don't come if that suits you better, I guess, makes no matter to me." He followed behind her obediently, jowls unhinging in verse. "It would be foolish of me to disregard the obvious courtesies of a Queen." Besides, he really was in need of a drink. Aeryc padded along behind her, keeping a respectable distance so that he wouldn't appear menacing in any way. The last thing he needed to do was encroach upon the leader of this pack. The brambles did little, merely attempting to bite at his flanks as he passed through them. The pain was nothing compared to pains he'd once known, and he ignored it as he slithered through and into the open. The lake appeared before him, stretching a good distance. The Queen would slip into the drink, and without hesitation he would slide in after her, his paws bringing him up noisily to her right side. Aeryc had trained himself to make his presence known, as it was easy for such a large, battle scarred fellow to frighten wolves if he just suddenly appeared. His crown dipped low, tongue lapping away furiously at the water. It wasn't as cool as he imagined it would be in spring or winter, but it did much to quench his thirst. "I can't thank you enough," he murmured when he'd drank his fill. "Talk" "You" Think |
