Tayui nodded quickly in reply, glad to hear that Lubomir had successfully found Skoll's family. Although it seemed like her old friend went through a bit of a roundabout cycle — telling Aivyr so Aivyr could tell Skoll's family so Skoll's family could eventually wind up here — Tayui was glad they had found out. There were so many wolves that found their way to 'Souls and never left. Sometimes, however, there were some that discovered these lands only to leave shortly after. She'd seen quite a few wolves join a pack only to leave without notice a few days or weeks later. And sometimes they disappeared entirely without a word after having been there for years, like Shaeniire had. And then they return with such a dramatic entrance that you forgive them for everything. Tayui knew that if Skoll returned as a ghost, there would be no forgiveness required — she had never blamed him for anything, even if she felt his death had led to the death of the pack. But without Skoll and Lubomir, the pack felt lifeless. Kieran and Zexion had disappeared in the early days, but Lubomir and Skoll had remained with them until the end. Tayui nodded again at the mention of two new names, supposedly Skoll's coyote friends. Tayui had not known Skoll was friends with coyotes. Perhaps she had simply jumped to conclusions, especially considering Skoll's history. Tayui had spoken to Gabriel and Kaena, and they had not harmed her in any way. In fact, they were both very civil, and Tayui had never understood the hatred the wolves held for Inferni, or coyotes in general. She understood the natural competition, but now that they were luperci, not simply wolves or coyotes, could they not coexist? Of course, now she was getting off track. Tayui tuned back in to what Jantus was saying, quickly trying to piece together everything he was saying. He continued to introduce new people in the story, and Tayui was surprised — though, she knew she shouldn't have been — to hear about so many people's lives. It was the convergence of so many people and places that it startled her a bit. She was also a little surprised to hear that Asphyxia had delivered three puppies. She must have been a very strong woman to give birth after having been kidnapped. Tayui chuckled quietly, wondering how the woman might have done that. It was certainly surprising. Jantus continued, and Tayui nodded quietly in agreement. She would try to assist him as best as she could, but she didn't know if she would be of any help. “I'll try to answer your questions, but it was some time ago. I only know as much as he told me, and that was fairly little. The details are a mystery to me, as well,” she noted solemnly. Certainly, she would assist Jantus to the best of her abilities, but she only knew so much. Her knowledge of who Skoll was and what he did was limited. He had been a very quiet man for the hero he seemed to be. However, it seemed fitting. She doubted Skoll would want to flaunt his past accomplishments. They would likely mean nothing to the wolves of Bleeding Souls and 'Souls; however, she was glad he had friends and family who could appreciate his actions. |
