The wind buffeted him, ironically on the one side that was not protected by the lean-to. The King groaned in displeasure as the autumn breeze chilled him. He'd gotten used to summer's warmth, it was hard to believe that anything could be this cool and crisp. He wasn't complaining, but his winter coat had only just begun to come in, and the King hoped that he wouldn't freeze to the bone before it did. A smirk played across his lips. He really ought to be getting up, he'd slept in far too late. This was no way for a King to behave. He stood to all four paws, grunting as he did so. When had he gotten so stiff? Shaking his bodice abruptly, the King would set off in the direction of a howl. He'd been hoping to hear from Bronze. Thankfully, he wasn't all that far off from where Bronze had called. The man was near the brook that jutted off from the lake. It only just touched Seracia's land before skirting off into the territory of the vagabonds. Bronze was awfully near the border, had he gone out and just returned? Or was he intending to leave? He had mentioned that he might not want to stick with pack life, was this a goodbye? No, it couldn't be. Bronze had gotten rather cozy with Loccian as of late ( or so the rumor mill told ) why would he leave her? "Bronze, it's good to see you," he would remark with every ounce of sincerity that was due. It was good to see the man. "I've been meaning to catch up with you, if you have a moment?" The King dipped his head to the water's edge, drawing in a few droughts of the liquid before returning his crown to its original height. Tail swayed behind him gently, as if driven by the wind. Of course, Gerhardt assumed that he would have a moment, seeing as it had been Bronze who had called. Nevertheless, courtesies demanded that he ask before proceeding in conversation. The King would recline to a sitting position, allowing his previously waving tail to curl comfortably about his hips. He knew Bronze must have something on his mind, and so he would let the man speak first. "Speech" |
