Ouroboros Spine tasramakna ∺

So much had happened. So much had been lost.

Aiolos wonders where Lote and her newest son had gone. Where the boy she had taken in had gone. Where all of her first litter, those he had taken in as his own, had gone to.

Part of him felt a failure, compelled to find his second wife and all the children that came with her.

The majority however, reluctant, fearful should he leave he might return to Kukutux and their pups together having gone too.

Aiolos takes a heavy breath.

Kukutux speaks of Keyni, how she had drawn in a man of their allied pack, how he had broken loyalty and rule because of it and seemingly held no remorse for his actions, not even as he stood at the border of Moonglow. At least he had not abandoned Keyni. Not yet, at least. In Aiolos' experience, most did and if not, they would eventually.

He has already disrespected and broken law to his former pack. Now he comes to our border, with harsh words, His eyes shift to Kukutux, wondering exactly what he might have said to his wife. Even though he should be all remorseful and respectful, so that the mother of his children might find shelter and safety. He could not help the rising of firey hairs along his spine.

Having your pups along the outskirts may serve dangerous for the pups, something none of us would wish to risk. As lowest he would not be permitted to eat from our caches, join in our hunts or celebrate among us. Lowest is a punishment, one which he will not walk away from if he does not correct himself.

He did not know if Keyni was willing to try this. If Cerne would be willing. If he wasn't, then he was no man worth having around, in Aiolos opinion.
