Is my nose playing tricks on me?

Thanos Argyris

Thanos watched as the small girl darted away. A frown formed on his face "I'm sorry if I've caused your dear girl discomfort, I hope she will accept me in the end though." listening to his brothers' words the small smile came back. Phineas was always a leader and his mate was surly beautiful as his brother had good taste. That and the fact that the child held beauty too. Wagging his tail softly behind him he tried to hold back excitement like the young child he had once been. Of course that had been a long time ago. A time when they were all happy and had not a worry in the world.

"That sounds like a wonderful family. And as for your question, Yes I would love to stay with you and your family." Thanos nodded to his brother in respect. It was an honor to be able to stay untied with his brother like they had been when they were younger. Maybe Aeolus would be close and maybe even Erebros was here. It caused a spark in his eyes to go off. Excitement was all he could feel right now, and boy did it feel great to him. Never could he recall being in such a great mood. As much as he wanted to play and run with his brother he kept a cool and calm appearance on the outside. "Keep calm, keep calm." was the mental whisper that went off in his brain as he stood in front of his Ivory brother.

Thanos’ apology was only half heard – it was unwarranted, as the ivory regal was certain his tawny littermate had little to do with her upset. His mind whirled back to their conversation, and the male cringed inwardly at what Hypatia had heard. She was too young to know, and yet he owed her an explanation of sorts. He owed her something.

His gaze drifted to the path she darted down, his paws itching to follow. Yet he knew she would need some time to herself, whether to absorb what she had overheard, or to simply overcome any worry or fear he had just placed within her. If anything, he could hope she was at least with her mother. Borlla could placate her like no other, it seemed.

At his brother’s agreement to remain, a small smile pulled to his lips. Thanos had been missed, just as much as his other siblings had been. Erebos might have left, but at least a form of familiarity came to him through one of his other brothers – he could be grateful for that, at least. With a flick of his tail, the Argyris Leader gave a nod in the direction of home. Pressing forward, the alabaster wolf pushed his large figure against Thanos’, rubbing his scent upon Magnolia Glen’s newest member. Without further word, he pulled away, now leading them toward the pack den to give his brother a tour of his new home. They had much to catch up on, if only a description of his two children and his loving mate.
