Gendry!!

So long as he knew where his family was, Fakira figured that it was alright to wander. Besides, it was hard to connect with many of the Artenie when their patriarch had vanished once again. The boy was sick and tired of his disappearing acts, giving everyone hope that he would stick around and then leaving them. It was sort of ironic that Taurig was blind, because he could hightail it out of Alacritia faster than most could in broad daylight. Bitter and somewhat dejected, the boy had taken to wandering. He couldn't watch what his father's disappearance had done to his mother, and he wasn't sure what he thought of pack life. He would rather be with his family and they alone...


Conflicting feelings lead to him parading east, not really caring where he ended up. The smell of the ocean was enticing though, as it was something that he would always tie in with what he called home. His real home... where he and his siblings had been together and been something akin to happy. "You ruined everything." The yearling hissed, his ears pressed to his head. It was easy to pin all of the confusion and pain on the guy that wasn't around - and so that was what he would do. He hated Taurig, blamed him for everything that hadn't gone right in the world so far - and it would take a miracle to convince him to change his mind about it.


It would take a kitten, to snap him out of his wandering thoughts.


Brows would furrow as the call sounded again - a little quiet call for help. Now, Fakira wasn't much of a cat person, but he would check it out regardless - quickly moving toward the source of the sound. The cold water would surely drown anything small quickly - and he would frown, looking for the tiny animal - only to see another wolf instead - her mouth filled with something bright and wet and... mouthy for someone who had just been taken from the icy waters jaws of death and put into... well, more jaws.


He would watch from the treeline as the two spoke, listening to their names. Gendry, and Zlata - she seemed genuinely kind, and it was nearly enough to pull him out of his funk to witness such an act of kindness first hand. He froze when they decided to move, hiding behind the trees and hopefully out of sight. Blue eyes watched them leave, and although he knew that he should probably let them rest, he couldn't help but follow. This girl was the first around his age that he had encountered out here in Alacritia's unclaimed wilds. He was sort of curious...


"Excuse me, miss Hero?" He would call out to her after she was settled with her cat in the cave. The yearling was polite enough to stay outside unless he was invited in - but not enough to keep the flirting to a minimum. At the very least, it wasn't baseless, she was a hero to that cat. "I do hope I'm not bothering you - but... Are you and your cat alright?" They seemed fine, but he would ask anyways.
