Sunset Valley Eerie Silence

The trip was silent and long. When they'd reached their destination, all were quick to settle. Xynos, however, was not. A feeling of peace had not yet found itself present within him. He trusted none  — Nyra and War weren't even exceptions.

Not too far off from where makeshift dens had been constructed, the man was hunched over broad shoulders. He seemed to be waiting for something. What? Even he didn't know. Dark, gloom eyed traveled. Would someone approach with a task, or even an attempt at a conversation with the rugged looking wolf? The latter was less likely, but possibilities existed.

Only seconds passed before view was settled over Nyra who was lain feet away. An aura of distress surrounded her. It could be seen in her eyes. Whether it had been deserved or not, the woman had endured much pain —  both physical and mental. Xynos pitied her for it, regardless of how much he wished he didn't.

No sense in sitting here watching. He eventually decided to himself.

Large paws pushed the wolf upwards. Heavy stride after heavy stride, he neared until he was within tail's reach. He waited for no invitation to sit, doing so promptly. A queen to him she no longer was. What respect was lost would have to be re-earned. Xynos assumed she knew this and would not voice his blunt disregard as ill intent.

You seem even less settled in here than I. He began coldly, harshly breathing a half-hearten chuckle. The comment would have been meant to amuse, but he couldn't seem to find a full laugh.

Have your wounds improved? I've noticed Moonglow's healers check you often, but that can never always prove that their work is effective.
