Come away with innocence & leave me with my sins

500+!!!

When the dirt and dust was clear from his vision, Jaden looked up to see that Rio had begun to shift. He had never met anyone who was afraid to shift in the view of another so thoughts of how such a thing might be awkward completely escaped him. He watched plainly as her back legs lengthened into strong appendages to hold her weight and her front paws sprouted the dexterous digits required to use tools of any kind. And, when all was said and done, he admired her form absentmindedly. She was still not the most attractive female he had ever seen but still held an easily recognizable beauty about her. The male’s thoughts didn’t stray much farther past that point though. He had spent too much time worrying over a conflicted heart recently to forgo heavy thoughts of attraction for a stranger.

Rio even managed to keep up their conversation whilst she shifted and commented on the avian trouble maker. She was not the first wolf he had met who had taken one as a pet. An odd realization struck him upon thinking back to the others. Every wolf he had met with a feathered friend had not only been female, but had also helped him selflessly or become one of his dearest friends. Perhaps birds were a fine judge of character. It warmed him a little bit more toward the other obsidian wolf but he waited to answer her until she had herself situated. He took a breath to answer when her lovely lavender eyes looked up to him again but was beaten to the punch by a questioning statement. As I said, we have only been here a short while. No doubt we will be acknowledged in due time. He smiled confidently at her and his voice hinted that here was good reason to acknowledge Sangilak. They would be a strong pack.

He looked on Rio and thought over what she had said for a moment. She had an avian friend that had met her near New Dawn and she was the daughter of Anathema’s leader. Kin to an Alpha was a precious position to hold. That she had been near New Dawn and now found herself in his territory proved that she wasn’t afraid to travel about. Jaden didn’t know of Anathema’s relations with other packs, but wouldn’t it be a bit dangerous for Rio to just wander about? She was heavy leverage should any enemy of her home find the apparently defenseless woman and capture her. Jaden took a few steps closer, invited in by her relaxed position in his presence. He watched her with deal with the defiant animal that came to rest on her shoulder. He was unable to understand the low-speech but picked up on Rio’s annoyed tones and held his tongue until she was ready to speak with him again. Her gaze returned and signaled that he had her attention once more but he also felt that he might have been being admired by it. He smiled at the slightly flattering thought before speaking, What are you doing so far from home, Rio?

Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
