What Was Once Lost

Sometimes, usually in the late hours of the night or the early hours of the morning when he lay in his den alone, he wondered if it was healthy to lack any close friends. He supposed he could count his family as friends if he really wanted to, but that almost seemed worse. Why was it that he couldn't seem to hold onto anyone as a friend or otherwise for more than a moment? Was he just to focused on his family and Fiori to notice their absence till it was too late? Or was it just fate telling him to focus on something else with his life? These questions plagued him through the morning as he began to work his way through the territory for his routine check of the borders. It had become part of his habit since he took over the pack to wake up, spend an hour or so wandering through the territory and checking on everyone, and then head to the border for a patrol. However, right as he was about to begin his patrol a voice called for him that he hadn't heard in quite a while. It took him a moment to actually register that it was actually Svetlana's voice and then he quickly shook himself out of his surprised shock so he could go answer her call. He hurried a bit more than he would have usually since he was happy to hear from the girl he had grown fond of during her stay here while Ebony was at war. He spotted her a few moments later and a wide grin split across his muzzle. "Svetlana!" he called excitedly as he drew closer. Normally when he met someone at the borders he would have kept a polite distance and minded his manners, but he was so excited that he just couldn't help himself and trotted forward to embrace her instead. "It's so good to see you again! And I'm glad to see you're looking well. And how's Korrin? As fisty as ever I hope?" He chuckled and took a step back, his blue gaze finding hers while his russet tail wagged easily behind him. It was like fate had finally decided to throw him a bone and bring one of those precious acquaintances back into his life. |
