OMG! Chocolate with a touch of sea salt... It's like Valhalla in the mouth! Also Grr Nier is Grr :: 449 ::
Niernan had let a silence fall between them, he was happy to wait for Saul or Lilin, his mind wandering back to patrol. He turned his head and allowed a grin to slip onto his muzzle as his grey cousin stepped through the thin tree cover. He offered up the name of the newcomer and the purpose for his approach of the borders. Niernan gladly accepted the friendly backslap, flicking his ears forward and giving his tail a few quick wags in a show of pleasure and respect to his leader. He took a step back as Saul moved forwards and conversed with the agouti male, listening intently without looking like he was. He rolled his shoulders back and pulled Ciaran from his shoulder to cradle the cat in his arms, rubbing slowly at the cats thick chest fur with his long fingers. Ciaran let forth a rumbling purr which vibrated through Niers chest and arms. He smiled down at the cat but his ears were still pointed towards his leader.
Niernan allowed Sauls usual strain of questions roll over him, it was the newcomers answer that made him look up. Cerulean eyes flicked to Saul and then back to Jack, he was sure that the man meant no disregard, but the vague answer and the question he shot back at Saul could have been cause for concern. He let a sharp breath rip from his nose, the slightest hint of a warning growl exiting with the exhale. Ciarans purr had come to a sudden stop as well, he may not have been a wolf but he was still part of the pack and was deeply in tune with canine politics and the feelings of his friend. The cats grey-green eyes met Niers blue for a moment, before the cat scrambled back to the canines shoulder. Niernan was aware that some creatures chose to remain very private and were not comfortable sharing their life history with others, but on the borders of a strange pack asking for membership was not a place where privacy thrived.
It seemed his Virding had picked up on the tone and wording that Jack used as well, as his cousins voice had gained a hint of iron. Sauls statement about being protective made Niernan straighten up, he knew that he was included in that protectiveness and he took pride in that. He had recently stepped up his involvement in border patrol and keeping others safe, it was a way in which he could channel his over protectiveness productively. Niernan let his hackles fall, unaware that they had risen and he waited for Jacks answer, hoping that the agouti man didn't dig himself into a deeper hole.
