Nothing in This World

Evidently this pup had quite the imagination. Killian had arrived just in time to catch enough of the conversation to realize that the young one had thought the female caused the water to come up from the ground. A smirk played on the brute's maw. He listened, amused, as the she-wolf explained what a geyser was to the awe-struck child, and silently was glad that she hadn't been the type to play it up and pretend magic coursed through her veins. He hated those dishonest wolves, and the suckers that believed them. Anyway, if magic was real it would be a dark, evil thing - much darker than himself. Not something for wolves to toy with, something he would despise due to the lies others had told him in childhood.



Suddenly woken out of his reverie, Killian realized that the female had acknowledged him. His ears pricked in her direction before his garnet gaze followed. He observed the pup for a moment, noting that it was seemingly hostile and attempting to ignore his presence. The pup's reaction encouraged Killian's smirk to grow slightly. The child clearly had a lot to learn, but he was still young with time left to do so. From the scent on the air he became aware that the runt had a pack that would train him and stand behind him. One day, he would certainly be a formidable force. For now, he was only an amusement.



After analyzing the pup, he settled his stare on the alabaster vixen who had greeted him. With pure white fur and shining blue eyes, she was his polar opposite. He found it both beautiful and offending at the same time. Nothing in this world could be so pure, even if it appeared so. And yet, despite his cold approach to their meeting and devilish appearance the girl had greeted him as a friend, as someone who's company she might enjoy. His heart told him that it might be nice to have a kind acquaintance, and his weaker brain gave up protesting and obeyed.



Killian's voice rang out, clear and deep. Afternoon, ma'am and child. He stood and walked a few feet closer, still maintaining the cushion between them, and carefully replaced his smirk with a smile. I take it he isn't yours though. Sarcasm laced his words, but in a friendly manner. Hopefully the pup would lighten up soon.
