Duck Lake as I love the name of honor more than I fear death

The bloodied Roman might be injured, wounded, bleeding but that didn't mean his senses wasn't working, or the instincts forced upon him by his father. His ears caught the sound of faint footsteps and the scent of a wolf, an unknown wolf, probably from a pack. Disappointed, he couldn't find any trace of his brother on there until, his nose searched, layers of layers of scents but still not his brother but then it was there. Extremely, extremely faint, a month old? But it was there and this wolf might be able to give him some answers though he doubted he would say it in front of a ragged beast. He drank deeply and carefully before lifting his head and diving gracefully into the lake, the water soaked into his agouti fur and moments later he broke through the surface and swam back towards the shore.

Dripping wet, the dried blood off his fur although he knew the blood would soon start flowing again but for now, he was back to the old handsome yearling again. He rose to his paws, muscles rippling from underneath his agouti fur. He was strong and he was sure he rivaled the male in front of him in strength, if not speed. Stormy sea green eyes sought out the turquoise of the older male's briefly, lingering for a moment before his gaze dropped. If he wanted answers, he might as well show a bit of respect. Dipping his head briefly, he spoke in a softly accented voice, remembering to speak English instead of Latin. "Hello bone vir, have you seen my brother? His name is Hadrian and you smell of him, if faintly."

He might have said some words wrong but he was sure that the other male would be able to understand what he was talking about. Briefly, green eyes looked at the male's blue ones again, a steely look of determination and roman resolve evident in them along with a faint but lingering trademark glint of the Angelus Mortis bloodline. He refrained from using the I'm worse than you are look for he needed answers from this wolf. It was only for a brief second before he averted his gaze.
