Hyperion's aged body began to ache, and he let himself sink back onto his haunches. He may have been suspicious at first, but he trusted this little black maiden. His eyes were kind and attentive as she replied, giving him her name. Esperanza.

"Yes, a lovely name for a lovely girl. It's my pleasure, Esperanza." The gentleman offered yet another smile. But then words began to flood the air between the two. Esperanza spoke openly, telling the old male things he hadn't expected. She belonged to a pack - why hadn't he noticed that before? He should have smelled it in her scent. That easy smell of countless wolves intermingling with one. Hyperion had heard of the Glaciem pack before. Indeed, the kindness that followed this female seemed... off. It didn't quite fit. But it certainly wouldn't be the death of her.

"If you don't mind me asking, how did you end up in the Glaciem pack, miss? It seems unlike you." The dark brute flicked his ear once in curiosity, listening again as more words passed the female's lips. This time she spoke of wisdom. "It's true. Power should never belong to the unjust. I know that firsthand. Unfortunately..."

Hyperion released the depressing thoughts as if they were bothersome drops of water, shaking them from his mind once again. It had been months since he'd last thought of Aurora, he wouldn't do it again. Instead he stared at his acquaintance and processed her talk of rankings. He couldn't help it - he despised the idea of packs. Rankings were so unfair, the scales of power so unbalanced. Leaders were corrupt and the commoners always suffered for it. And this beautiful young lady, Esperanza, branded as a brood. Breeding material. As if she had no soul at all.

The growl turned about in his chest, threatening to surface. The girl would hear it, and she would wonder what had upset him. But the old brute wasn't in the mood to relive his bitter memories right now.

Walk.
"Talk."Think.
