"You are always a good wolf, one of the best I have ever seen, no matter what you do and what you think you do. It was perhaps what was bothering her surpassed all limits and is beyond reach. Maybe you didn't know." he exhaled softly at that. "Some would say different, I am not a good wolf, Crëyr. Even I admit that. I'm reckless, stoic, sarcastic, snarky, merciless at times. This isn't a good wolf." he grinned briefly now, though it was one without humor. The previous sarcasm and humor that possessed him had vanished, it was quite amusing how he could be sarcastic and snarky when he didn't want to, but when he truly needed it and truly wanted to, it left him and vanished.
She listened quietly and attentively to his story, then spoke, "Another good quality about you, Shadow. Your heritage, your previous family, your siblings. They are all a part of who you are now. The story is beautiful, mystifying and chilling. Thank you for sharing that with me." The Imperator raised his head to gaze at her with chilling silver eyes for a brief moment before allowing the faintest of smiles to slip onto his features. "Strong for too long, eh? Perhaps so, but the boy from the story had been strong since the beginning of his years, and he never cried did he? Perhaps he was stronger than the rest, but I doubt it." He hadn't cried for a year or more now, and it was one of his greatest accomplishments, along with getting his littermates safely away from Noctisardor Bypass and successfully became mates with Paarthurnax. Though their relationship ended a few months later.
There was silence, and Shadow raised his gaze to look at her, she was pretty in her own way. Silver graphite fur and vibrant, azure eyes. Like the color of the sky between the end of sunset and night. Mysterious and ethereal.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're pretty?" he murmured softly, almost inaudibly. He didn't really care whether she heard it or not, but he felt like that had to be said. Paar had a different kind of beauty, a more gentle beautiful kind. Crëyr's beauty was an ethereal kind, the more warrior-like and stronger kind of beauty.
