Farewell to the Shadows

Kove hadn't needed to wait as long as expected for his call to be answered, which made him suspect the Queen had not been busy. Whether that was true or not, he still did not wish to take up too much of her time. He gave a nod of his head in greeting when he saw her approaching, expression serious. The serious look faded when he saw Cicero, though, and he gave the young boy a smile. He felt bad for what he was about to say due to the boy being there, but knew he had to. It was an important thing, after all, and could bring him right to the side of his lover. "You did find me!" the man said, the sound of a praise showing through in his voice. "Very good job, Cicero." He shot the boy another smile before turning his attention back to Meldresi, his smile falling into a more neutral expression.

"I called because I needed to inform you that I am leaving," he said, wanting to get his reason out quickly. He couldn't hesitate, because if he did he might just rethink his actions, and that wasn't something he had the desire to do. "Scarlett was kicked out of her pack, and I can't just leave her alone. We will be going off to form our own pack together. I hope you can understand." Kove still respected the Queen entirely, both as a leader and as a priestess, but he just couldn't stay in Blackfeather any longer. Not when the one who held his heart was such a long ways off, and without the protection of a pack.
