Teme Lupus is by Alaine!
Unlike the last time he'd seen Eclipse, Temeraire had certainly grown in confidence, to say the least. While he wasn't overly arrogant, there was a cockiness about him, reflected in his crooked grin, the mischievous glint to his eyes and the confident swagger with which he walked. This was his family though, for better or worse and he knew that they didn't appreciate the act. It was ingrained into him, the snicker, the smirk, the grin that was nothing like his fathers yet at the same time wasn't condescending. The brown and white figure of his visiting cousin caught his eye and the male moved towards her with a genuine smile on his lips. He liked Eclipse- she was a year older than him but he felt as though they were similar.
Her soft words didn't fail to widen his smile into a toothy grin and he nodded towards her softly as he came into her general proximity. Her next words caused him to snort softly- his father most definitely would not be asleep, he could guarantee that. Of course, her relay of the information that his brothers and sister might be sick caused his ears to droop softly. He knew they'd caught something from the hurricane and he sincerely hoped that they would survive it. He didn't know the extent of the illness though, he'd yet to ask his father about it. I pray to the God's to keep them safe. Temeraire offered, though he'd done no such thing. He didn't know if he believed in their Gods, but perhaps Eclipse did.
The rain outside was beginning to settle and Eclipse commented on this. He nodded softly, glancing out the window over the females head to check. It was settling as I was coming over, just a drizzle now. He offered, his tail flickering back and forth. It had been a miserable week for perhaps the whole of Nova Scotia and thankfully Vinátta hadn't suffered any serious and lasting damages. The horses, and that damn stubborn donkey, had been released properly a few days ago to get grazing once more, though the sand bags remained outside their door. Taking another glance outside, Temeraire asked his question. As its cleared up a bit, maybe we could go hunting? I'm sure Lilin would appreciate the extra food and Coli certainly needs some help. He said, showing there was a caring side to him.
