Don't Ask

The tableau was broken when a familiar dark form approached to drop a pair of rabbits and seat himself at Callisto's side. Kassander didn't return the nod, but his stance straightened, his gaze hardened. Maximous had obviously already known Callisto was in the territory - had made no attempt to inform him. Had been hunting Ebony's prey to feed a wolf who for all intents and purposes not been a member for some time. Callisto's words confirmed she had been speaking with the healer, and Kass took a deep breath. King it was then. Be the king Drashiel's brief lesson had taught him to be. "How can I trust that?" He met her eyes firmly, ignoring Maximous for the time. "You left without a word to anyone last time. You walked back into our borders without even thinking to ask if you would be welcome?" He shot a hard look to the male then - clearly Maximous hadn't thought Kass was important enough to know either - before looking back. A breath of air puffed out on a sigh. He was young enough yet to be hurt by the disregard to his leadership that was becoming more and more obvious among many of the members, and apparently former members, of the pack he had inherited. He tried to keep his voice level, to wipe any trace of hurt or anger from his tone. Like Raisa would have... "Were you even planning to mention the puppies you have out there somewhere or were you hoping I wouldn't notice?" |
