I can't resist puppy eyes~ <3 Jacquez gritted his teeth, trying to walk faster as he felt her eyes on him. If he could just get out of her sight, he wouldn't feel that stare boring into the back of his neck, making his fur stand on end -- "Zut alors, petite, quel est ta problème?" he exclaimed, whirling to face the small child. Her eyes were so pitiful, welling with longing and desperation in their innocent depths. The king made a sour face, not intending to shout at the pup, but not remorseful enough to apologize. Jontae... What sort of life had she led up to this point? She must not have had any sort of stability, traveling in the rag-tag troupe of survivors. Shouldn't she be happier here, motherless or not? With a grunt, the tall man squatted on his haunches, lowering himself closer to her level. He wasn't about to clamor about on his hand and knees, but it was not entirely undignified to hunker down a bit so that he was not looming over the little scrap of fur. "...Jontae. Do you like it here?" he asked stiffly, trying to make pleasant conversation to make up for his earlier outburst. There, now Ruri would not frown at him later when her ward relayed the story. He didn't ignore her entirely. He didn't call her names or act cruel. He just... didn't really get what it meant to be a father. To him, there was no connection to this child other than being in the same pack. Was he supposed to feel something towards his kin? Because he didn't feel much towards anyone, let alone a daughter he hadn't known existed until days ago... |
