For some reason, Talon had expected a negative reaction. Perhaps he was accustomed to feeling pity from others, or disgust -- but he certainly had not expected her to be so kind. The woman that had introduced herself as Misha smiled at them, almost looking upon the two of them fondly, and he found himself relaxing slightly. "Thank you," he said humbly, dipping his head to the ground in genuine gratitude. The response was quick. A woman with a creamy pelt appeared, with vibrant markings adorning her face; she was beautiful, and he found himself staring in awe at her. It had been so long since he had communicated with wolves other than Kangi, and he was at a loss for words. The one she called her friend scared her, and his silence continued for a moment after she spoke. He felt nervous and light-headed again, and he found his limbs quivering slightly. "I'm Talon," he told her his name with a gentle, albeit wary, smile. "And this is Kangi, my..." What was she to him? He figured 'mate' was the right word, but it seemed so foreign to him -- she was his best friend, the woman that he loved. She was his everything, and some part of him desperately wanted them to understood that. They were individuals, but even more than that, they were a couple. Their love defined him, whether he would admit it out loud or not, and whether or not he had ever wanted to be defined by another being. "My partner." He figured that word worked as well as any other. Kangi's attention was focused on the creature that accompanied the Queen here. He didn't like the word Queen; it made him feel uncomfortable, despite how warm her tone was, and despite her relaxed posture. Though she spoke, she seemed unsure, and he was unused to this timid part of her. He wouldn't blame her, as he felt the same. He felt a new-found strength as he thought of his mother, who had been abandoned by their father; weren't men supposed to take care of the women they loved? He would never abandon Kangi, and he needed to be strong for her, if nothing else. "We have been alone for a long time," he admitted sheepishly. Neither of them were remarkable -- both seemed small and frail, though they were not quite sickly. The winter had not been an easy one for them. "We were interested in maybe joining your pack. If you think we would be okay here. And if you would want us." |
