KAGA!!

Talon had felt panic flood through his own body -- his reaction had been mirrored by Kangi's terrified stammering of their safe word, kaga. Why had Isardis come? Why were they talking about war and poison? Roman had been so warm and inviting toward them; was she a liar? Had she pretended to be kind, to reel them in and throw them into a war? But he remembered she had not demanded anyone fight, and had said nobody needed to if they didn't want to. His breath came in quick, rapid bursts as he and Kangi rushed away. He was certain they looked like quite the idiots, but he didn't care. "I think war is when wolves try to hurt each other," he explained quickly, though his voice wavered with uncertainty. "Usually over stupid things. Nothing good can ever come from fighting." The three-legged wolf would shake his head, confusion brimming in the form of tears that threatened to spill as they came to rest together near the lake. They were a safe distance away now, able to talk without being overhead, able to relax and think alone. The world was so big, and yet somehow they had ended up here, in a pack with the Glaciem King's daughter. They had watched this pack for so long. Had they missed something? He found a whine escaping his throat as he lowered himself beside Kangi, a bit more carefully, coming to rest close at her side. His tail would curl around her back, nose pressing into the scruff of her neck, wanting to comfort her as much as he wanted to be comforted. "I don't know," he answered honestly, his voice still quivering uncontrollably. He was grateful that the ground was solid and still, and he felt the gentle thrumming of Kangi's heart against his side. "She said we don't have to be involved. Whatever happens, we can stay here. And if it all goes wrong, we can leave too. Anytime you want." It didn't seem like they were in immediate danger, but if they were, he would not risk their safety. |
