The way that Ezra looked concerned the dog King, but her knew he could not press for information, but merely had to wait until the male was ready to tell him what he had come to say, for Vigilante had realized now that the black and white male had wanted to find him. There was something he needed to say, something that was clearly bothering him. Many things had been wrong in the pack lately, and so he waited, wondering what it was that was troubling the Rosen patriarch in the Miracles pack. He was always able to appreciate when his members came to him with their concerns or troubles, and the King did everything that he could to be available to them, though he was not a normally social creature. Being raised alone and away from his large birth pack had done that to him, and even after years of being here, it still felt strange to act in the position of a King, where he was required to be available and social.

When the Rosen male began to speak, concern crossed the King’s features. He had been right to assume something was wrong, though he had not entirely expected the words that came next. Ever had drifted away from her adoptive parents when she had moved out of their house, though perhaps it had started when Noah and Liam had been born. Vigilante had not questioned it much, for he knew that it was difficult for her at times to not have her own parents, and the brother who had arrived at one point had left so shortly after that the King could not help but wonder if she felt as if she had been given a raw deal. He supposed he would have understood the thought process, but he wished that she would have come to talk to him, and it pained him to know that she had left Ezra and their young son alone in such troubled times.

It was greatly appreciated that Ezra thought to come and tell him about Ever’s leaving, but that was not all that the man spoke of now. What came next was clearly difficult for him to vocalize; that much was obvious to the King. And when Ezra spoke, Vigilante understood. “Thank you for coming to tell me, both about Ever and yourself. It is a cold world out there, though I am sure that you already know this.” Wise eyes of jade looked down to the boy, his would-be grandson. “Keep him and yourself safe. Know that you will always have a home here if you should need it,” he said, his tone gentle and understanding. He understood that it was difficult to stay in a place that held memories like that, and it had been that reason alone that had brought him here when his sister passed instead of staying where he was.
