Ithiel is by Raze!

Ithiel himself had only his own ideas about what precisely constituted mateship on which to base his actions and behaviors, strange as they were. Ithiel felt strongly Alma was his to protect now, and he also felt it was his duty to make certain not only of her physical protection, but her every comfort, as well. Her happiness and contentedness with life had become his own. Even then he knew in the back of his mind it would come to a troublesome head were he forced to choose between Alma and Inferni -- and he shoved that half-formed question away before it even had a chance to fully articulate itself within his mind. There was no question, for they were both Infernians and had been before they had been Alma and Ithiel. Nothing would change.

His brother had departed the clan and his commander, too -- but Ithiel had remained. Confronted with another Scintillan coyote, he might have claimed to be standing a watch for the return of his father -- but neither would he depart Inferni and return to his homeland and his post. There was no family there, and that was the thing he though he'd found here. Not with his many strange cousins, who seemed to pop out of the earth and disappear back down into it at random, but with Alma and his clan. He felt this sense of harmony strongly, and would not have traded it for anything.

There was a shuffle from within the cave, and Alma emerged from within, looking slightly perturbed. It passed Ithiel's notice, however, and the dusky coyote leaned forward to deliver a hug. He was unaccustomed to such gestures, in truth, but the dust-colored coyote was not incredibly awkward in his delivery of such. Good morning, he said upon withdrawing. You slept well? Hungry? he asked, quite willing to march off and fetch her a meal should she profess even the slightest edge of hunger. It was his duty to provide for his woman.
