Phoenix Maplewood No one's ever left me quite this sore

Arion's signature crooked smirk was plastered on his pace when he successfully pushed Saena forward, she lingered at the cusp of falling before gravity took hold and she, along with him, tumbled into the river. The cool water quickly soaked through his fur and drenched him, his thick chocolate coat stuck to his rangy and lean muscled frame; before, he had a tank-like look but now, he simply looked like who he was. A tall, lean and agile wolf, the opposite of a tank.

Unlike Saena, Arion had been fully prepared on landing in the water so he managed to stop himself from choking and spluttering like an idiot and emerged from the water as gracefully as a water. A chuckle rumbled from his chest as the stallion watched Saena with glittering golden orbs as she coughed and snorted, limbs flailing around, looking completely hilarious to the Greek. Obviously, Arion knew that it wasn't really nice at him to laugh when someone was choking, et cetera, et cetera, but...it was too funny. Really.

When his leader whipped around, searching for him, the Greek didn't bother backing away. Instead, he grinned almost apologetically at her and shrugged his shoulders. "I'm sorry," he told her, golden eyes gleaming playfully for a second before they turned serious. "Well...not really for that. I mean, it was funny, you gotta admit that. I...just wanted to apologize for my....uh...inexcusable (he winced slightly when he said that) behaviour at Redtail Rise. All of it. I was a complete arsehole, I was rude and inconsiderate and caused stupid troubles when you two already had a billion burdens on your shoulders."

Arion lifted his head and gazed at her, sincerity shining through his eyes for the first time since he arrived in Teekon Wilds. "I really want to apologize for all the trouble I gave you and Reek. I promise I'll try to be the best subordinate and packmate I can....and the wolf you respected before, if you..would like that." Velvety chocolate brown ears flattened back against his skull as he glance uncomfortably around, not knowing what to do. Apologising was not something he was good at....at all.
