Meet & Greet

Life was something that was ever changing... Ever altering the paths that every creature took. The male would think this as he looked across the span of Tortuga territory, his head, his heart, working with their own thoughts and feelings as he sat, watching. So many thoughts, so many feelings. Tortuga was a new home. A new chance to make something of himself and to live up to the nickname that he was bestowed upon as a child by his closest and most dear sibling. She was here too now, and Ritsuka was sure, soon, they would be spending a lot of time together, because they had much to catch up on.

They hadn?t spoken yet of the past... Though that was his fault. Directly after the meeting Ritsuka had only wanted to enjoy her company for a while, to be able to see Blizzard again, to know she was there. He had missed her when he left... And felt incomplete without her. But something within the young male?s heart told him that, once the past was shared... The time they were separated... Something was going to spark within him. An act that would bring a fiercer side of him. He wasn?t sure why... But something about Blizzard told him she hadn?t simply left to come find him.

That... Troubled Ritsuka actually. So he had politely asked his sister for some time before they spoke of such things. He was trying to prepare... To keep himself from exploding if that was truly the case. The male would give a soft sigh, ears flicking back as he closed his eyes. The thought of anything bad happening to Blizzard... Of anyone doing anything to her... Even a single cross word... Was enough to set the young male?s blood boiling. While Suka had not been particularly close to the other members of his family, well, Blizzard was another matter. He had always been close to her. Their bond was one that wouldn?t ever be broken. Not by distance. Not by anything.

...and he?d be damned if he?d stand by while someone tried. A growl rumbled through Ritsuka?s chest, and the male would get to his paws. He couldn?t stay calm. While wanted to use this time to find a way to keep his head but if anything it was just giving him time to imagine the worst. The more he thought... The more he worried about what had really made Blizzard leave. Had she been hurt? If she had... How badly? Who had done it? Had... They gotten away with it? That thought would bring not a growl, but a snarl of rage from him. Injustice... And then the guilty party getting off without any sort of punishment... It was enough to drive the male crazy.

Some time ago he had heard the howl... And while he had wanted to go right then and there to Roman and the others he knew he needed some time. But his state wasn?t getting better. The male would shake his head, ears flicked back as he started off in that direction. He wasn?t sure how many wolves would have showed, though he was certain, at the very least, Qanik and Gossamir were there. Perhaps seeing them would brighten his mood some... And maybe Qanik might have a suggestion on how to handle this situation better.

It didn?t take long before his thoughts had worked into a frenzy in his head, and Ritsuka found himself running to that gathering of wolves, as if trying to escape his own mind. He would arrive on the outskirts, panting, brow furrowed, with a frustrated look upon his face. Emerald eyes would look upon the others, ears tilted back as a sigh passed his lips. Part of him wanted to openly go up and talk with someone... Anyone... But he hung back, trying to settle that fire that stirred in his heart.
