Swiftcurrent Creek fragments

Velvet said nothing in response, but he did not blame her - the Valento himself was scarcely one to talk; though perhaps their reasons were contrasting. Instead she gave a swift nod, and then they waited at the borders for an audience of the regal king.

It was not Constantine who arrived first. Instead, it was one of the creek's other members, a packmate that Soltero regretted he'd not introduced himself to - they had greeted each other in passing, but conversation was held no more, and Soltero decided to himself that he'd seek to fix that in the near future. "Hello," The deep voice rumbled, nodding politely before eyes flickered to her side, where the alpha finally emerged.

He greeted the regal with a dip of his head, but allowed Velvet to go ahead and speak for herself - he'd struggle to do it for her, but he'd stand as backup should she need it.
