The smaller girl was given a caring smile for her excitement, she seemed so happy to have her new mate. His eyes were once again dragged to the brown and grey male and his expression turned to considering. Her next words though caused alarm to trickle through him, his past? What was he hiding then behind the fur and skin. His concern only grew although the Austral male kept it inside, buried under layers of practise with such things. If he expressed this concern now she might turn away and leave and then be alone with this boy, this man who she leaned against. Then he couldn't watch over her and keep her somewhat safe. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.
So he didn't reach forwards and snatch her away from Liam, he didn't bare his teeth and chase him away, snapping at his heels as he did. He didn't raise even a single hackle or pull back either of his earthen ears. His claws remained relaxed and the sword at his waist was kept sheathed. Instead he smiled at her, a friendly gesture for the wish to let him know she was here,
"That ees very thoughtful of you. Anathema is a maze, eet could have been weeks before we are finding each other." Their request to call the leader was met with a nod and a complacent smile. His head twisted however as a crow suddenly fluttered into a tree branch nearby and squawked. Seconds later another joined it, this one pure white in appearance. He turned back to the two with an odd look,
"I have no need to call, he is already coming." He turned so that he was facing slightly away from the two of them and looked into the gloom for the sounds of the arrival that he knew was approaching. Sure enough as the day turned to night he came from the shadows riding his devil horse, Hibiki. He was not alone, however his companion was known to the Spaniard, the one that had tried to help out during the bear attack, Alexander. The formal greeting was returned to Alaki along with a respectful nod of his head,
"Rakeeb. Alexander. They wish to join Anathema." It was kind of obvious why they were here but he answered the question anyway.
