Gah this took longer than it should have! Also, this table is so awesome for this thread XD. +3
He had to hand it to the little runt - she had guts. Most pups ran at the sight of large and scary things, and even some older wolves, too. But warriors dressed to kill - and to scare. The crowned helmet upon the giant's head was not some fashionable thing around the lands.. but rather, it signified pride, held authority, and intimidated the weak. Not to mention, it was a useful gouging tool in battle.
The pup's next words were spoken clearly, though Viking only got the gist of it. He stopped mid-step, shoulders tensed. It was going to follow him..? The little pup had a better idea where home was than the giant ever did - he had no idea where its parents were. King could have easily led the pup astray to the middle of nowhere, or back to Anathema.. where she'd probably be taken in.
A heavy grunt of defeat passed through the giant's throat, shoulders that were once tense now slumped. The male side-glanced down at the small wolf, who was easily a chew toy in comparison, which then squeaked out its name. Cute and brave.
Another grunt, as Viking took a few steps forward into a clearing - where he was before this whole babysitting incident happened. The warrior shook his head, not sure where to even begin looking for its home. The bone washed warrior still hoped silently that it would give up in following him and go away, yet he couldn't help but worry slightly for it.
No. Life was tough - if she was lost, that was her problem. The large male hefted his axe high into the air, single eye spotting a small log, as he took a giant step forward and let the axe do its thing. A loud and satisfying 'CRACK!' came as the log shattered from the sharp axe's touch, and went so far as to bite into the ground itself. King released the axe, which was able to keep steady with handle in the air, a small gust blowing through his braided locks. Turning his head over his left shoulder, where only the patch was visible to the pup, the male spoke into the air. "Viking."
