<blockquote><b>"Yeah... the loners around here are pretty crazy. Myself excluded of course."</b> he said absently as his eyes focused on the falling droplets. His silky ears twitched as he listened to the fellow dark wolf talking but he kept his face frozen, emotionless. Yes, he'd had enough run ins with the loners around here. A few had attacked him for no reasons; others had just been plain crazy and rambling nonsense. Was no one sane these days?
He almost smirked at the mention of his long lost sister. No... he hadn't seen her either but for the time being he was leaving it that way. He had been patience this long, waiting a bit longer wasn't going to kill him. Besides, he had other things to be getting on with... he was certain that one day, maybe tomorrow... maybe years from now, he would bump into his grey sister and then he would have his revenge. It was odd, thinking back on it now and how he had been thrown this way and that with her. At first he had been angry, upset; lashed out in the only way he knew how. When he got closer, to the borders of her pack almost, he had been excited to see her again. She might have left him alone in the world but he couldn't help but feel nervous about seeing her face again... but his access had been bluntly denied and Ruiko had chased him from their borders without evening listening to his reasoning. It wasn't long ago that he had ran into Kanosak, the two had gotten along quite well but Kanosak had warned Rhysis to stay away and that the Creek wolves were gunning for him.
Hurt.
He'd been hurt by it all. Yes alright, he had wanted to hurt her but had he gone through with it? No. When he got closer, he just couldn't. Rhysis was as ever, all talk and no action. Hell, the guy wanted by the Creek wolves hadn't even comitted murder of his own kind, yet here he was... bounty on his head... thanks to her. <i>Whore.</i>
<b>"I'm sure you will see her soon, Triell."</b> he said, keeping the malice for her out of his words as he spoke and even offered a half smile in his direction. In some way, he felt sorry for Triell; he was better then Volkan, the coward, the liar. He had tried to give him warning, yes some of it may have been a little harsh but then again no one liked to hear the truth. Maybe that is why Rhysis was so hated.... because he did nothing but tell the truth.
The rain continued to pour, but the sky continued to darken. He couldn't sit under this tree all night and home was a long way off yet. With a side ways glance to Triell he finally stood, a little awkwardly with his damaged paws but he showed no pain or shame as he rose.
