Marik had talked to his brother and had been sent to seek out another member of the pack. His brother couldn’t explain the metal bits and pieces that he had found inside of another storage box that had broken. Since his brother had no idea what they were he had sent him to find one Cassius. His brother said that he had only met him once but seemed confident that this coyote would know just what they were. His brother had also said that the guy was living in the house as well. And had even ensured that Marik would seek him out by giving him the possibility that he just might have a chance to make a “friend” out of this Cassius. That hope was enough for him. Certainly it had him leaving the room that he shared with his brother after he was done being worked on in order to try and find this other coyote. Especially since his brother had given him the go ahead to flirt with this Cassius. Of course Cotl had told him to be careful. That he wasn’t sure if Cassius was like that or not. Still, the only way for Marik to find out was if he tested the waters. And he certainly intended upon doing just that. Of course he knew what no meant and wouldn’t press the issue if he was turned down. But still he wouldn’t be able to help but to flirt and hint, it was just who he was. His brother could testify to that one.
He had the small green pieces held in one hand as he walked around the large place in search of the other coyote. Silently he was wondering how many others lived in this place. There was his brother and him, this female named Halo, and now Cassius. At least those were the ones that he knew of and had been told of. But there could be more that he knew nothing about. It wasn’t like he had met everyone in the clan just yet. Actually his mind had been on other topics as of late. Like attempting on trying to settle in during this turbulent period in time. After all he had come into this clan during a time of upset. He was new to this country and found himself stuck in the muddle of war because he had promised to stay with his brother. He was expected to be fighting in something that he knew nothing about. Over things he had no opinion on. He wasn’t sure why this war was going on except that something happened to one of the leaders. Just what happened he didn’t know. He just knew that it resulted in war. He wasn’t really a fighter but he could act out in setting up defenses. He was on the short side. Practically everyone towered over him so he was at a disadvantage there. And also because he just had no interest in it. Fighting just wasn’t his cup of tea. He was interested in other physical aspects, though he added a slight amount of violence to that. Sure, he was covered in scars but that wasn’t from fighting. They were all strictly from physical relationships. Each one coming from different encounters, sometimes the same beings but during different sessions.
He followed the instructions his brother had given him in order to find this other coyote. In the back of his mind he wondered just how they would end up getting along. Cotl seemed to like him well enough so he really couldn’t be all that bad. Especially since his brother wasn’t one to talk to too many. Or at least he hadn’t been that type back in Germany. His brother had noticeably change since being in Canada. There were times when he wasn’t even sure if he remembered exactly who his brother was at all. Everything just felt to be so topsy turvy here. To just be completely upside down. Like they had switched up positions. It wasn’t exactly a fun feeling for Marik. He felt too dependent on his brother and he didn’t exactly like it. He had always been the one to be there for Cotl. To take care of him. And now it wasn’t like that. Cotl didn’t need him anymore. That alone left Marik feeling so lost and confused. But what else could he do except to try and make the best of it. And that is just what he was doing. He was trying to make the best of this new situation that he was in.
The boy believed that his brother had said something about the other being in the garage. He had no idea what the other was doing there all by himself. There were still plenty of rooms on the floor that he was sharing with his brother. But what could he say? He was still sharing a bed with Cotl. But it was probably a little known fact that his brother liked to cuddle at night. Which was why he was still in the same room as his brother was. He was there to keep his brother company and to offer him that comfort that he wanted as Cotl held onto him throughout the night. Despite how close their bodies were pressed together at night their relationship was strictly platonic and brotherly. It was something that probably no one else would get but that didn’t matter. It was between him and his brother.
He headed out of the mansion so that he could circle around and get to the garage. He entered the attached building and glanced around. He had no idea if the guy was still even on Inferni grounds, let alone at the mansion. Well all he could really do is check and see. So far he was turning up nothing. He didn’t see anyone around. Couldn’t even find a sign of someone living in this space. Had Cotl gotten it wrong? Or maybe he had misheard his brother? And since he was seeing nothing he called out instead. Maybe he would get an answer. “Cassius? Are you here? Cotl told me to come and see you.”
