Her soft laugh and the following sentence about her son made Theodore smirk softly. He knew she cared a great deal about him- she'd practically ripped his ass up when he'd been found and returned to the safety of Anathema. If she had't cared about him, she wouldnt be punishing him. But of course, the little black pup that belonged to the white woman wouldnt understand that until he was older and had a little more experiance and logic in his mind. They padded slowly through the lands and as they came into contact with the invisible lines that marked the border, blue eyes would always search the surronding area, always alert and always watching.
He didnt feel the need to comment on the joke about her son, so he allowed a soft silence to envelope him as the drew closer to the spring. He could smell the heat before they reached it and he looked around a large boulder to see the bubbling water. It was a medium sized pool, nothing near as large as the expanse of water he had almost drowned in yesterday. With a chuckle he removed his filthy weapons bealt. Glancing down at the dagger attached there he mentally made a note to clean and sharpen the blade when he got home. Slipping into the water he waited for Naniko to join him.
She spoke once more in answer to his offer and he was surprised at what she said. Naniko wasn't one to throw trust to the wind but she seemed to be doing so now. A shocked expression caught his face as he stared at her, trying to figure out whether she was being serious or not. Of course, staring for too long was rude and Teddy averted his eyes towards the bubbling and frothing pool. If she was serious, did she actually mean to promote him all that way? Would he be her right-hand-man, so to speak? Blue eyes glanced back up and caught green for a moment as he mulled it over.
"Are you being serious? You would want me to become your beta?"
He muttered, using the word 'Beta' as a universal term for second-in-command. Or third actually, since Azalea still had her paw in the door. He glanced down at his hand, washing away the dirt before waiting for Naniko's answer.
