Poison Path between the lines

It had been an uneventful day for Elliot Moon. The dark hued pup had seldom ventured far in the past few weeks, though that was not unusual for him- but today Eli simply sat a few inches away from his sleeping spot, orange eyes roaming the surroundings ahead of him. He'd slept well, so there were certainly no complaints there- all traces of sleep had vanished from his young body, and he felt rather well; ears flicking to and fro to catch all the little noises around him. Stretching his forelegs out in front of him in a long, fluid motion, Elliot stood, taking a few steps out to peer around at the Poison Path grounds, feeling his mood lighten at the familiarity of the sight.

Somewhat rarefied, the pup toyed with a pebble he'd found, batting it around him in a wide circle. Play was rare for a wolf with such a serious nature, but for whatever reason, Eli found himself rather content today, so indulged himself in a few moments of nipping at his prize. The moment passed, and he collected himself once more in a composed fashion, padding back to his original seat. Eyes bright, the boy waited for the day to unfold.

ELLIOT MOON

His home had been so quiet as of late. Nothing had been happening and Ash was starting to become worried about their young princess. He had not seen nor had any fresh scent trail on her and neither had he seen Athena out and about as he usually did. It caused his stress level to shoot high into the sky and almost pass up the many stars that floated above all their heads. It did not take a genius to look at him to tell that he was worried. At night when he was sure everyone was asleep and no one was on shifts he would pace around the borders, fear gripping at his paws at the thought that something had happened to his partner and young Aphrodite. Tonight he simply lay outside of the den, his mossy, dark green eyes opened and dimmed in the moonlight. Apparently when he thought everyone had fallen asleep he had stood corrected when young Elliot waltzed out of their sleeping quarters. He kept his eyes on the young man as he walked off and silently, the Guardian followed, his large bulk surprisingly easily blending into the shadows, which what had made him such a good Second back in the day.

What he had found slightly surprised him. Young Elliot was playing with a little pebble, something that Ash had not seen all too recently. The young boy was much more laid back than his sister was…more like him in any sense. Flicking his tail, he frowned as he noticed how the young man stopped playing with the pebble after a little awhile, but seemed to be content none the less. Taking this time to emerge from the shadows, Ash moved gracefully towards the young pup, purposefully making noise with his paw steps to make sure that the young pup knew that he was there. Clearing his throat, he came to a stop by the small boy, sitting down in a tall position, his green eyes looking down towards who he wished he could call his son. "Elliot…why are you out so late? Is something bothering you?" In truth he was concerned for Athena’s child. She had not been around him as of late and it worried him that Elliot might not be getting all the attention that he might need. Hopefully, if this were the case, Ash would be able to make up for some of his lost time with the little boy.

I think I've finally seen the light..in you.
