So she was afraid. Hyperion kept his head close, rubbing his muzzle against her cheek for a moment. "That is the only thing I hate about packs, Esperanza." The rough voice deepened. "They steal away your freedom." Then, with a flip of the wind, a new presence made itself known. Female. From Glaciem. When someone had lived as long as Hyperion had, they understood that not all threats came from males. He pulled away immediately and assumed a protective position. No one would hurt Esperanza. He had made a promise to die for her, if it came to that. Please, don't let it come to that, he thought desperately. Amber eyes jumped around, frantically searching for the source of the scent. Then he saw her. The maiden was coated in earthen tones, initially hiding her figure from sight. The dry ground here allowed her to blend in. But she still stood out to him. Her tail was hidden slightly between her legs - being outnumbered probably frightened her. Hyperion responded by immediately making his posture less aggressive. His hackles disappeared into his coat and his golden gaze melted on contact. What a beautiful young lady. He had been raised to treat women with respect, but this was different. Some odd feeling came over him, making his knees weak and nearly forcing him to bow either way. He dipped low out of habit, his maw parting to utter a greeting. "Good day, miss. We didn't..." he paused to clear his throat. "We didn't see you there. Forgive me. I mean, forgive us." How was this happening? His head was spinning. Hyperion was normally so articulate and eloquent, and here he was babbling like an idiot. But why? How was she doing this? It had to be her. The moment the girl appeared, everything changed. It felt as thought the world had shifted directions. Overcome by dizziness, Hyperion began to blink, swallowing the butterflies that flooded his throat. "I assure you that I wasn't trespassing. I only came to escort my friend. I will be leaving now... it was lovely to meet you..." But he hadn't met her. Good lord, what was he saying? Usually only females that looked like Aurora made him feel this way... "Talk."Think. |
