I shall seek some other place Spoke Jupiter and he was grateful for her understanding. It would certainly be difficult and confusing for Laxago if the last familiar place to her was occupied by the Sol and her children upon her return. He had made a habit of keeping the den daily and laying out a small meal within in the event of her return. Though he found himself eating his late night dinners alone. Entangled in these thoughts he struggled slightly to return his attention to the Sol. Her gentle affect calmed him but as she spoke he found his heart fluttering violently against his chest. Aid me my dear Deteste, but do not serve. He was unsure what she meant by this statement but he was certainly honored by her kind, personal words. Deteste could not possibly see himself not serving the Ludicael in anyway. If he was not serving the Sol he was certainly serving the realm and all that it stood for in his eyes.
I do not serve only you Sol, but the realm it's self and I never do otherwise. Perhaps service is not the best word but I am proud to be a part of the Ludicael. his voice was strong and it had been long since he felt so lively. He reflected inwardly as a short silence fell between them. Jupiter gazed the direction of Aria's departure and Deteste gazed further, as close to the horizon of his home as was possible. He had not had a home before and he believed he was fortunate to have found one so beautiful. He breathed deeply and allowed a toothsome smile to stretch across his jowls, expecting the increasingly serious conversation began to devolve especially once Jupiter mentioned his new friendship with Aria. He hoped to see her again soon for her light-hearted disposition was a pleasant thing to be around.
He focused on the Sol once more, her attention simultaneously returning to himself. He had intended on commenting on Aria's playfulness but the striking seriousness of Jupiter's gaze allowed no thought or speech to cross his mind. He did not know what she had in mind and he found that his heart fluttered again. A plethora of mixed emotions left him unsure how to express himself but his lips tightened and he made sure to show that his entire attention was focused on Jupiter's next words. Words that would nearly shatter him in disbelief. He swooned and breathed out as if the wind had been knocked out of him. Sol? He had followed Jupiter with such reverence that in this moment he could not grasp the idea of being her equal. This was not a position he had exclusively desired, not that he was unhappy about Jupiter's request, he had only meant to whole heartedly serve the Ludicael. I would be honored Jupiter. his voice was tight but he looked at her with deep gratefulness. He felt renewed but also very old in the same moment. I will do everything for our Ludicael.
He strode closer to Jupiter and bowed deeply, his forelimbs folding beneath him. But as he rose he stood tall and a husky, powerful howl poured his jowls growing in amplitude and complexity in each moment. In Deteste's youth this was the greatest token of respect one could offer to another wolf. It had been many years since he lad last sung such a song and in his current age such an act was greatly out of character for him. But in his heart and this moment he could not help the desire.
