I imagine there's a fire like this somewhere in the courthouse to keep the place warm, if not then I'll rewrite it @_@

The fire crackled merrily in the fireplace, casting a warm, golden glow over the similarly coloured fur of Regner's hulking Secui form, making the large dog seem to almost glow in the light, even the scar-like black fur scattered across his back taking an orange tint, as had the snow white fur of Regner's cloak, which he had spread out beneath him to lay on. When Regner wasn't lazily scanning the room, his coppery eyes half open, he was studying the familiar patterns in the snow leopard pelt.

The elderly warrior had taken to his Secui form to relax, too tired to hold his Optime form but too vain to revert to the atrophied skeleton, at least by Regner's standards, that was his Lupus form. This form left the marks of a warrior's life that adorned Regner's pelt on show for all to see, a startling amount and variety of scars snaking across his entire body. Regner, as per his usual views to his scars, was somewhere between apathetic and approving of this fact.

The elderly warrior was fast learning how much a chore caring for a small child could be. During their journey Adelle's behaviour had been fairly tame, the puppy seemingly subconsciously realising the dire situation. Now that they were in safety however, she was making up for that in full force. Regner was finding himself regularly exhausted just trying to keep up with the hyperactive bundle of fur that was his granddaughter.

Said bundle of fur was currently, and thankfully, asleep; tucked between Regner's paws and underneath his chin. If one were to look carefully she was just visible, her nose peeking out from beneath his fur, but the nearly identical fur colour shared by the two made it a hard task.

While Regner did possess a room of his own, shared with Adelle obviously, he had chosen to rest in one of the more public areas of the courthouse, though the precise name of it escaped him. The fire which blazed behind him was one reason to doing this but the other was that Regner's position, in theory, would let him watch some of the packs other members as they passed by so that Regner could get their appearances and scents in his mind.

However that was only theory at the moment as nobody seemed to be around. Either that or there was some other, more travelled, path which the other wolves were taking. Even so Regner was enjoying his rest regardless, and continued to do so, eventually falling into a gentle half-sleep.
