The Wonders of the New World

It was an extremely rare event but Deteste was resting quietly within the Ludicael borders. He had had a small meal after his last patrol and sought to see Jupiter or Aria somewhere in the pack lands. Without Laxago's constant calls and needs he had an exceptional amount of free time. He was not used to his and he could not patrol the territory at every moment, as much as he would like to. However, he also sincerely enjoyed the company of the Ludicael and he craved it. He explored his surroundings at a leisurely pace, sniffing and looking for a place where he could sleep and keep warm. A place where he would not be reminded of Laxago. Before he could delve in thought regarding the woman Deteste's attention was drawn by the rustle of movement in the near distance. He thought perhaps Aria was sparing or playing with another member, though he could not smell her, and he loped over to investigate.


As Deteste came near he quickly found out that it was not Aria playing in the snow but another woman. Small-bodied and possibly quite young. There were quite a lot of females in the Ludicael. He could nearly consider himself a bachelor he thought and laughed inwardly. He stood in the distance with a nearly coy affect. Her movements were so youthful and playful that he desired to let her be. But he could not pull himself away. Her play warmed his heart and he did indeed desire to meet more of those that he shared his home with. He cleared his throat audibly and loped nearer to the girl. Hello. he spoke with a smile, enjoying the snow? he inquired before tilting his crown skyward. The large flakes became entangled in his obsidian coat and melted as they rested on his maw.
