even a god-king can bleed

Helios listened to his wife with a raised brow, worries had wormed their way into his gut at the news of his niece and yet despite that a small smile would rise unbidden to his face at the idea of them ruling side by side. A small lick against her cheek was all he would do before more members began to drift in and he acknowledged each with a nod of his head. Russet eyes registering each familiar and strange face.
The man could not stop the small grin as June joined them, the girl had been hesitant when he had first met her upon the borders but that she was here now helped to put some of his doubts to bed and he dipped his head slightly in recognition. He cast gaze about as he realized Chione had separated herself off from the group and he offered her as comforting a smile as he could before a familiar and slightly unsettling scent reached him.
Russet orbs met his ghostly form and Helios felt his stomach jump. Apollo had decided to join them then, he put on a strained smile for the boy, their fight not quite forgotten. Still he was glad to see the albino boy was doing alright. There beside him? the russet man fought the urge to jump up then but the small figure moving at the base of her paws kept him rooted. Panic struggling to claim a hold of him. He had to hold out, it would do no good to frighten the non-blood members of the family, this was Olympus matters and they would be dealt with by Olympus?s only.
The man remained silent as Natalya spoke, he had no prepared speech so was glad she was willing to be the one to address the gathering. He nodded at regular intervals giving his silent agreement as was needed. Then she would turn to him asking if there was anything to add and he shook his head, voicing his choice for his wife?s benefit only. His eyes never leaving the woman and the child. Helios shifted as non-family filed out slowly. A dark figure moved towards his great-nephew and he realized it was time to act.
Rising to his paws he stepped forwards, his voice becoming the commanding voice of an alpha; something that had taken him a few weeks after promotion to master. ?Nemesis move!? He picked up his pace intending to head off the gold and black male, a snarl already bubbling in his throat. The normally calm man was on fire, pure rage filling him up, rage that the boy had the guts to show his face here, rage that after all the brat?s family had done he would walk ever so confidently within his territory. Helios? father had died at the hands of the male?s family, and he would never let them forget it. Orbs flited to the woman briefly and an enraged growl rose from his lips, how dare they show their faces!
