And then it was finished. The brutish man crossed his arms, muscles bulging beneath the thick coat of coal-shaded fur. Crimson eyes surveyed his masterpiece, if it could be called such a thing. It would serve its purpose, however, and then he would not need it again. One-time-use. Disposable. Alu. He snorted, hacking up phlegm gruffly before spitting it to the side. Masterpiece or not, it had offered him reprieve from his children for a few hours; it wasn't that he didn't have love for the fast-growing puppies, no, but rather that Agony and Jackson were still children and still quite overbearing on the aging man's mind.
Of course, as he started to think of his son with the white Queen, something came tumbling down the mountainside. Or two somethings. Or one fawn-colored something and one dark-coloured someone. The red eyes of the man shifted, following the movements of the someone as it served to pounce his claim on what appeared to be a deer. Ravesque raised one eyebrow for a brief moment before letting his face return to apathy.
The more he studied the intruder of his personal time, the more he came to realize who it was; living in a cave system for months did well for learning who was who. While he couldn't recall the exact name (he was horrible with exact names), he'd come to know that the younger man before him held a place beneath Naniko. A large hand found his undefined hip, the other brushing through thicker mane as his eyes closed. "Having trouble there, Rakeeb." It wasn't really a question, as the two had come tumbling down the mountainside inelegantly. If he'd been a more friendly man, he might have smiled; as it was, his eyes opened again and no expression crossed his otherwise brooding features.
