Blackfoot Forest I sense a darkness in you...

Slade had a grim feeling of what had went and fell upon the once high now scraggly female that walked beside him. Yes, there was anger as well, but it was the anger fueled from past. Not present. He was still comming to terms of not being under her leadership.
And her being under someone elses.
Now that was something to be angry about.

"Your mate Alpha Burke sent me, while my nephew, Cry, told me where to pick you up from. They nothing of each other, but I knew of both of them. "

His face as unreadable as the uneven ground they tread on, he stared ahead, auds rotating to follow the various occasional scuttles and creature cries around them. 

"I must say, Meldresi, I had expected much better out of you, including your choice for Alpha. Burke obviously is one of the worst decisions you could have ever placed in category for such an important role. I pray to Sithis you have the Brotherhood under someone more fulfilling and less eager to spill pack secrets."

With that said, the Nightmare turned and focused his vivid gaze on her, intensely holding back the feelings he was so close to revealing to her in the precious time that she had once held his heart captive.
