Swiftcurrent Creek fragments

It was afternoon when they arrived, but the sun was masked by thick clouds, and light scarcely flickered through cracks in the grey coating above. Soltero's gaze tipped back toward the dark she-wolf, though soon enough shifted ahead once more - he was eager to return to the creek now, desiring for a rest by the side of the rippling waters before he set to patrolling the borders, as he frequently did in the cold evenings.

@Velvet kept pace with him well, but the soldier drew himself to a halt once they reached their destination, eyes glancing again to her ebony pelt. "All I can say is be respectful and speak the truth... you do not need to have incredible skills, but if you'd like to mention anything that would probably help too." Not that he thought she would be turned away - even so, there was always a chance. The young man finally reached his muzzle to the sky, summoning @Constantine again and settling to wait for the regal's arrival; with any hope, all would go well.
