Helotes stood stiffly next to Ezekiel, mirroring his posture, and glanced quickly at the raven who was eyeing him fiercely. Somewhat off putting but Helotes tried to shrug it off as the Aquila spoke coolly, brushing off the question just as Helotes suspected he would. The air was chill and the clouds roiled above them; strange how the two of them meeting now for the second time in similar weather conditions to the first. Helotes gave out a small huff of annoyance, damning the clouds for making it rain whenever he was with the leader.
Ezekiel asked if Helotes smoked and the Lykoi’s ears perked up, it had been a few days since he had shared a smoke with his grandmother, and was keen on the idea of having another, Sure do. He said, trying to hide his eagerness. If it wasn’t violence or sex it was booze and cigarettes; Helotes was very much married to his vices. He watched carefully as the blonde man lit up and let loose the wonderful smelling smoke, which was quickly blown past them by the wind.
His mind drifted with the smoke for a moment, to the meeting he had had with his cousin Zana the other day. That little spitfire coyote was something else, and Helotes felt very fond of her now even after a short amount of time. He regretting making fun of her, but was glad he had stopped when he had otherwise he might be nursing dart wounds as well as the ones he had suffered from the fight at the borders a week ago. Subconsciously he ran a hand over the bandage on his upper arm and realized it was probably time to remove them, since his wounds had since scabbed over and healed nicely. He wondered if the female he had chased off could say the same.
