Moonspear smells blood

all of a sudden there was a lot going on. amekaze was speaking in a very kind but serious tone, something she'd always done in terance's mind. she was his alphess, proud and responsible and professional, and so her tone often mimicked that. but she had this gaze that terance just couldn't shake from his mind-- even when she'd look away. he'd seen the look before, but it was so wildly contrasting with the words she was saying to him-- he just couldn't place what was going on. "i'll keep an eye out," he said with a wave of his tail, throat feeling very dry all of a sudden.

her gaze moved down him, and he could feel that she was staring at his shoulder-- which had an X etched across it. and his chin and neck held some stories as well, so there was plenty to see no matter where she looked. she didn't directly reference it... so terance didn't quite understand why she was looking him over, and instead just shifted in his spot, shoulders rolling as he awaited her appraisal... which never came.

"i can give them some lessons, or something, if you'd like," terance offered, clearing his throat as she did a quick little wave of her tail. it was something terance didn't feel comfortable saying-- for a few reasons. he tried not to think about it. "has hydra been helping them out?" he asked, but he and hydra were close as could be... he already knew the answer.
