OOC.
Helotes had been in the stable for most of the day, finding solace in the simple duties of grooming Yegua. Her filly was growing steadily and strong, no longer spindly as she once was, but it was obviously she was starting to annoy her mother. She continuing tried to nurse, much to the dismay of the mare, who had to basically dance to get away from her nibbling mouth. Helotes couldn’t help but laugh at them, doing their little Salsa, and he cooed at the filly in Spanish. Helotes found that he was much calmer around the horses, a similar calm he had when around Zana. His mind wandered to the small female again, as it had been more and more ever since their rendezvous in the Grotto.
Helotes was about to take Yegua out for a ride when he heard the call; clearly it was the Aquila, and without hesitation the dark Lykoi sped off towards the sound. His loyalty to the leader of the clan took all precedence and as a solder of Inferni he had sworn to be at Ezekiel’s beck and call. As he neared he could smell smoke, and the scent of others. They slowly came into view, a group assembled at a pyre of sorts. He did not recognize any of the gathered, save Ezekiel, his half-brother Aemon, Valkyrie and Zana, though he could guess at who some of the rest of them were.
The dark Lykoi paid his respects to Ezekiel with a curt nod before slipping into the fold of the group, seating himself near Zana of course. He gave his friend a smile but remained silent. Something about the meeting here was somber and tense, he wondered if perhaps Ezekiel had decided to go to war or something else as serious. Helotes eyes scanned the faces of the gathered, avoiding eye contact with Valkyrie for some strange reason that he could not discern. The face of a girl with a violet scarf caught his eye and he tipped his head slightly at her curiously. She must be a Lykoi, she looked so much like Kaena, albeit a golden version rather than gray… but then most of them had that old woman’s blood in their veins to some degree.
