For Odessa c: Uhm, evening tiime. Uhm, I totally forgot that Ankh probably is a bit young(?), so if it's completely out of character for odessa to come that close to water and borders, let me know and I shall try to fix.
It had been easy to think that matters would solve themselves now when he was no longer a nomad wandering the long roads between two homes. Things were probably improving, overall, but at times it was difficult for him to see. Larkspur’s son was quick to allow negative aspects in life weight him down, especially if the issue was close at heart. There were joyous new things in his life as well, but right now, he was in a dark place, with a grieving heart. The dark giant hadn’t been one to seek out social encounters lately, but he knew well that it wouldn’t help to hide away from the ones he loved. Eris was the one he felt he could confide in without restraint, but it was unfair to put much burden on her. Itachi would have been a possible alternative, but the man had recently lost his mate, and it would never occur to the black man to burden him with issues that were microscopic in comparison.
In his large and bulkish lupus form, the dark man stalked the shadows along the riverbanks that protected Salsola from careless strangers. Eyes holding the swirling shades of angry thunder clouds scanned the darkened area beyond the black waters. He could detect no movement of anything larger than minor game. It was a good thing – canines rarely found it a good idea to intrude on their borders anymore – yet he had to swallow away the feeling of disappointment. He had done bad things, and liked it; and therefore, had discovered that he was a bad man. With no conflict, there was no way for him to sharpen and improve his… questionable methods. With the exception for one of the slaves during the hurricane, there was rarely any reason to play rough with the slaves either. There was only peace now, and he wasn’t sure if he was suited for it. Not while he had anger that he needed to burn off.
There was a slight wish to encounter Itachi, but the chance of that was very slim these days. Apparently, the man had two live children to care for in addition to the loss of his mate. A shame. So the dark man continued alone along the slightly curved form of the river, on occasion catching disturbances in the calm sections of the dark water from surfacing fish.
