Let Me Ask You Something [kismet]

Walk | Talk | Think To Kismet's credit, his arrival was quick in answer to Rune's summons, though for the waiting Guardian it had felt doubled. He kept needing to remind himself that he was trying to give the kid a chance to prove himself as opposed to offering him every opportunity to mess up, and that he needed to keep his thoughts optimistic rather than negative and critical. For Warja, if for nothing else. She was always so adventurous and bold but no other friend that he was aware of had stuck around as long as this one had, and no others seemed to draw her to them so strongly as Kismet did. And somehow that made him...special. Which was why when he finally spotted the tall boy walking toward him he made a point to force himself to relax and get a better control of the expression on his face. Naturally his default was to scowl, to stare and judge and add some sense of value to his pack member, but he was not doing this as an alpha and he needed to separate that part of himself from their interaction. Though his frosty blue gaze was still rather intense, he did not scowl, did not frown, and did not attempt to draw himself up tall where he sat to signify rank and status. He could tell even at a distance that the poor kid was nervous and making him even more so was definitely not going to get their conversation far. Calmly as the boy stopped and addressed him, Rune rose to his black paws, his gaze only momentarily drifting away before it settled on Kismet again. "I did," the grey Guardian answered, possibly confirming the kid's fears from the look of things. It would have been too cruel to smirk in satisfaction over knowing he intimidated the boy so much so he kept it off of his face, though likely some of that amusement was visible in his stare. "I was wondering if you'd care to join me on a patrol." It was an innocent enough request, nothing more than a walk along the border, but though Rune suspected it was far from what would have made Kismet comfortable he still held every confidence that his simple request would be accepted without any complications. |
