hey there Deb, welcome to 'Souls and Vinátta!
Saul Lupus is by Alaine!
Despite his relative absence from the pack, which wasn't exactly an absence per say, more of an overabundance of issues that needed his attention, Saul was beginning to find himself with some free time once more. He was immensely grateful to Niernan for his vigilance on the borders and he was pleased that his dark cousin was showing such an interest. Their tense conversation the other day had been strange, but once the crux of the issue had been aired the cousins had been able to move past it. He hoped so anyway- it was very unlike Niernan to hold grudges and nothing grievous had actually occured.
This morning, Saul had risen and had worked with Teme on his reading. His boy was a fast learner and it was a shame it took seven months for them to obtain opposable thumbs. He was certain Temeraire would learn quickly how to write as well as he was reading. It was sometimes difficult to get his son to stay still and concentrate but today had been a good day and his boy had been able to read and whole paragraph without stumbling or asking what something said. Progress was refreshing, especially after Saul's week of set backs.
The call from a wolf at the borders interrupted their morning lessons and Saul gave his son an apologetic smile before rising and helping him pack away the books. It took longer than the Virding expected, but the second howl was from a familiar voice and Saul smiled. Niernan had picked up the slack and was calling for him. Giving his son a swift kiss on the head, Saul exited his house and took off towards the sound of the calls. It took him a few moments to reach his dark cousin, who he promptly clapped on the back and thanked for being quick off the mark.
I'm Saul Stormbringer, one of the leaders of Vinátta. I have a few questions before I can accept you into our family. He said, before conferring with Niernan and obtaining the mans name. Jack... Where have you come from? Where are your family? He asked, green eyes polite and stance dominant but easy.
