They say home is where your heart is

Walk | Talk | Think

Though the tall boy already appeared at least slightly nervous in Rune's presence, the grey Guardian was of the opinion that he could have done with a little more nervousness. His cold, assessing stare did not waver as he continued to look on the tan-faced youth, not even when he noticed the apparent care Kismet was taking with his posture. There was no threat there, nothing to instigate harsh feelings from the pack leader, and nor did he take the bait and answer Rune's comment in any way to paint him in a worse light than he was already viewed under. It might have all been good signs - the blue-eyed father hardly wanted his daughter hanging around someone who could easily lose his temper, or who might have so little respect for others that he would succumb to a little goading - but still Rune was irked. How could he continue not liking the boy if he behaved so respectfully?

Unsatisfied, he was almost tempted to respond with a firm and resolute no the moment Kismet got his question out though he was sure Warja would have given him an earful for it. Did he really need to ask now when Rune was bothered by so much else on his plate? Watching a new recruit to make sure he was behaving himself and adjusting to pack life well enough to suit his strict standards was not exactly the top of the priority list. But maybe that meant he needed to start promoting others in order to even out that authority and responsibility. Carrying it all himself was starting to be a little more weighty now that the pack was no longer simply himself, his children, and his sister's family. It was growing, and their top ranks needed to as well.

When he finally spoke it was nothing more than a blunt question, one that had settled into his mind and demanded to be asked. "Why?" Why now? Why all of a sudden did Kismet, who according to Alamea had been traveling back and forth to visit Warja for some time now, wish to join Secretua? He had seemed content lingering beside the pack lands, and yet he wished to make his stay permanent. It puzzled Rune considerably, though one suspicion of course rose above the rest. Perhaps the boy's feelings for his daughter were growing to the point he could no longer stay away? Was it anything like what had drawn Rune to being with Alamea all those years ago? He hardly knew enough about the relationship between the two youngsters, had not seen enough of them together to make his own conclusions, but it was something hard to ignore entirely.
