At another point in his life, he might have met the roar of his name with great pride, or the charging of the dark body with his teeth in a playful game of rough-housing. If he'd been human Revui would have probably side-stepped with one foot out, just to watch his brother trip and tumble, then laugh about it later over some cheap beer.

The mountain had not changed. Revui would argue, neither had he. Yet when he heard his name explode from the mouth of his brother, he felt himself tense and draw away; when Arcturus threw himself in to a cataclysmic run aimed like a sniper's reticle upon him, the ironclad boy reacted with something far less playful. 

There had been struggles while he had been away. Battles. Some situations that Revui had placed himself in to for the sheer joy of combat — this was not one of those moments, but brought him back all the same. A momentary lapse. He was defensive, baring his teeth as soon as the dark body came in too close, his warning growl deepening as Arcturus got close. Then, against his own will to some degree, Revui lashed out to set the target off-balance.

He had not meant to cause harm, but he was still not entirely in control of his own power.
