Horizon Ridge Freaky & The Freakshow

Are you okay with wrapping up the thread after the next post? And doing a follow-up when Epic brings a gift to Rusalka?

Although the yearling boy would never admit it, Caiaphas was placing a spell upon the boy. He listened to her as words fell from her leathery lips and the world around him faded away into nothinghood. She poked at his innerdepths, bring a shade of darkness within that he had never sensed before. A mercanary, a killer. His heart thumped with a buzz of excitement when she spoke of war, of drame and of blood. Life with her -- and with Rusalka -- would never preach of boredom. His rogueish smile never disappeared, though today he wouldn't judge her words, the (third) war that loomed ahead or the sea-queen Kraken.

"Almost." Epic murmured quietly, his golden eyes looked sternly into the direction of the ocean where the waves lapsed at its shorelines. "What excites you the most in life?" It was his last and final question. A wolf's excitement; whether it was hatred or love, war or peace, hunt or be hunted. This final answer would tell him a lot. "After your answer I will go and return only once I have found something worthy for you, sea queen. I will bring my gift to the Rusalka borders for you."
