A leader had to be a listener, and after being trained to be the Praetor, so when Scarlett came with cuts on her shoulder and told her the story of how it happened, he was more than happy to listen. She apparently was out to meet a male named Kove. What kind of name was that anyways? What an utter idiot. He felt the need to tell Scarlett to stop talking to this 'Kove' dude because he was a bad influence, getting her hurt and all that. He saved her, yeah, but like, Raz could do that in a more professional manner. Obviously.

Kove, huh. Never heard of him before. You won't need him anymore, anyways. You've got me around to protect you. he spoke, not really thinking about what he was saying before realizing a moment later what he said. Holy fucking Jupiter! he screeched internally in his head, did he just say he would be around to protect her? What. Was. Going. On. With. Him. This lady was changing him, but Raz didn't know if it was a good way, or a bad one. He honestly didn't know.

As she curled him against him, Raz wrapped his limbs protectively around her and pulled her closer, there was something new about her. She was the first of her kind that he had ever met, the kind that was gentle and sweet. Always, the wolves he met were either insane, brutal, cold, harsh or something along the lines of that. She was the first to be like this, it was new but he liked it. And he did not like the idea of this Kove dude having more time with her than he did. And he got to to the heroic act, how unfair. You're pretty you know, he uttered, entirely out of the blue.

Raziel enjoyed the touch of her tongue against his fur, he was one of those wolves who craved physical affection but was afraid to have it. Beaten, hurt, pain was all he knew from physical affection since he was young, and so he had never learnt to enjoy it but to fear it. But now, with no insane wolves chasing after him, he was able to enjoy the little things in life, and to finally accept that not everything was here to hurt him. It was quite enjoyable and the young Roman liked it. But it would not last, peace did not last forever, war was inevitable after all.

Then a familiar voice called his name and Scarlett. "Scarlett! This is a gigantic coincidence." The Roman leaped to his paws, vibrant teal eyes gleaming with excitement, a bright smile on his usually stoic features. Crëyr! he said, utterly clueless to what Scarlett might think about this. Raz bumped his shoulder against hers in greeting, How's my little brother? he asked with a tilt of his head, moving back to sit next to Scarlett. Her Alpha is my little brother, he explained to the red eyed female, delivering a affectionate lick to her cheek as he did so.

Raziel laughed when Crëyr spoke about meeting both of them and how they were destined to become a three wolf team. He smirked, a twinkle in his teal eyes. I'm a wolf that operates on his own, I ain't needing no team consisting of you two! The grin on his face and the gleam in his eyes meant that it was just a joke, he didn't actually mean what he just said. Raz was not one to randomly speak bad about others, he only did that if they were rude and just disgusting, and the Roman knew both of the ladies in front of him. Nah, just kidding, you two are probably great women.

The silver agouti nodded in agreement, Hadrian always was charismatic and charming, and his name was also extremely long. Hadrian Nox Angelus Mortis, and he also added Shadow to his name, a mouthful isn't it?. Raziel moved away from Scarlett, standing an equal distance between both ladies and sat down, his posture casual. There was currently nothing to do after all, best sit down and relax. You never told me where my brother's pack was. Mind telling me, eh? Can't go nowhere without the address, the sterling wolf was completely oblivious to Scar's jealousy.

His mind drifted away, thinking about his previous life, thinking about Azrael and Anselm and how they were both doing. The Roman wondered how Shadow himself was doing now, if he was well and how was his mental and emotional health, but perhaps that could wait until they were seeing each other face to face. Yo Crëyr, mind telling Shadow when you get back that I'll probably be visiting soon?

Wapun Meadow. That was where she'd met that male, Alastor, wasn't it? She smiled at Scarlett. ”Oh, yes. Wapun Meadow is a good place for meetings. The flowers there are beautiful, even though it's winter. They're always beautiful, even if they're wilted.”

Crëyr gave a grin as her friend, obviously joking, spoke of how he was a "one man team" and how he didn't need neither of them to be in the "team" she'd mentioned earlier. He then continued to tell them both how he was kidding, followed by how he was sure they were both great females. She laughed. "You're probably a great man too, hence the Angelus Mortis blood."

She listened to Raziel as he continued to ramble about Shadow. When he paused, Crëyr didn't miss a beat. ”Raz, even though you're his brother, are you secretly a member of the Shadow Angelus Mortis fanclub? Meetings at Rising Sun Valley, Noctisardor Bypass, Flash's den, Mondays eight to nine pm.” The grayscale girl grinned. ”No, I'm kidding. Okay. Well. You know Otatso Wetlands, which is a way north from Swiftcurrent Creek? We're east from that, directly east. About three or four days of travelling, and you'll get there. And of course, I told him and he's actually expecting you, anyway."

The Welsh female sat back on her haunches, facing the two wolves before her. At Raziel's sudden outburst, she leaned back slightly, though it was probably mock anger. Whatever. ”Whoa! Okay... Sorry? Calm down. Come to think about it, Flash'll probably be irritated when he learns about this. 'Kay, let's not talk about it when you visit.”

Raziel probably realized how relatively far Noctisardor was from the other packs, including Swiftcurrent Creek. His pack was probably the second closest to the Bypass, if not, the third. ”Really?” Crëyr said as he mentioned Shadow and Paar's pups and how he endeavoured to take care of them, ”You're gonna be looking after the pups with Paar? You talked to her about it?” It was only then she remembered, how there was unrest between the two packs, particular between the two leaders. ”Do the... authorities of Swiftcurrent Creek know you're related to him?”

Another thought struck her. Raziel was Shadow's brother, and she thought of how happy Shadow was when she mentioned that she'd met him. She wondered, then, how it would be like if she would one day find Gwilym searching for her amongst the trees and rivers of Teekon Wilds. The grayscale wolfess sighed, jolting back from the thoughts, and turned to Scarlett, noticing how she seemed to be a little left out. She uttered a silent apology to the snow fae. ”Raziel, you should have seen how happy Shadow was when I told him I met you. I miss my siblings.”
