+3. Sorry for the lateness, and shortness <3. Late congrats, by the way! :3
From what King could see from his eye, though locked onto the ground, the shadow rose up from the ground. The giant had a feeling he would, too, after giving the fellow warrior the respectful and silent greeting. Viking grunted with mouth closed, lips pulled thin. Though his head was somewhat bowed, his senses were ever alert. The shadow was ever fluid in his motions, as the bone washed male suspected, and his head rose slightly to observe the other walking towards him in the dappled shade.
Then the shadow spoke, and Viking withdrew his blade slowly from the earth. As he yanked it back to rest at his side, idly gripping it in his large right hand, the braided warrior's head rose. Red-violet eye did not meet the stark blue of the other warrior, as the higher ranked warrior directed a question in the giant's direction. The warrior's pose was alert, wary, and strong - the traits every fighter should physically have, even when they weren't facing any danger. The shadow's voice expressed the same interest that Viking could see in his pose, cautious and with a hint of power in his voice.
"Viking," came his gruff voice, short and to the point. As he spoke, he lifted his free hand to his chest, fingers slightly curled, indicating his name to his physical form. Letting his hand then trail downwards again, scarred ears twitched as he said no more, silently breathing the cold air. He would wait for the other to speak again, and whether the shadow gave his own name or not did not matter to the giant. The large warrior already knew that the man held some sort of power, and were part of the same pack. In a way, that made them brothers, though by a bond that wasn't in blood. In the Warrior Band, the relations were the same. Brothers that fought side by side was the beginning of a certain bond, whether they cared for each other or not. The respect was there, as was the knowledge to die for sacred traditions. Traditions that wouldn't die even when a warrior has fallen and become one with the earth.
