Black Morass frostbite

sorry for posting out of order - this is my last post in here, so i can wrap up cicero's threads. :)

Hmm, Malice. It had been long since he had seen her. He was asked how he knew Burke, and smiled lightly. "Burke used to lead the pack Cicero grew up in. He was a mentor of sorts." Like a father to Damien, who'd later betrayed him, but for Cicero he had never been truly like a father. Still, he was leading his own children to him now, so he must have been enough of one for Cicero to want to find him. It was such a shame that Burke could not pass on any of his knowledge to his children, now...

Burke's grandson.. Cicero could not help but wonder, as he did not think that the children he and Malice had reared could be old enough to have their own children in such a way, but he did not ask, for it did not matter in the grand scheme of things. Merely murmured a hmm-mm, and looked at Delight as he introduced himself. "Cicero Sheogorath Melonii," he introduced, leaving the boys to introduce themselves if they so wished. He didn't remember ever introducing himself with his full name, and thought it a bad sign that he was doing such a thing now. Almost like he knew what was drawing closer. It was a good thing Delight lead this pack called Tindome, for it meant the pups were likely safe there.

He moved on in silence from there on, not sure what he would do once they would reach Tindome but desperately clinging on to the last ounces of life he had left in him, for as long as he could manage...
