Basile smiled toward Keeya's embarrassment. He assumed it was from her falling asleep so easily. He dipped his raven head in acknowledgement of her silent question, answering her simply. Luma left...I am not sure why. Father...when he returned...he went after her. Basile tried to convince himself that it was merely desire to keep the pack from straying as it did before. He knew Luma, however. He also knew that Cassiel knew her better.
He averted his worried eyes from Keeya, trying to hide the turmoil that stewed inside him. He would share more with her later, perhaps Thad too. Not now though...not when he'd only just met the dark wolf. For the first time since the sly male's arrival Basile forgot about Aisha and Jaden. He worried only about what would become of Luma and his Father.
He now turned his pale green orbs back to Thad and grinned at the male. He felt as if the brute was trying to fit in more then a normal loner would. Something about his voice, Basile thought. There was no ill intentions in the male's words, or eyes, for that matter.
He nodded his head, hoping to ease the male with light conversation. Yes, a good meal and a warm spot in the sunshine. There aren't many ways an afternoon could be spent better. His body shift closer to Keeya unconsciously, thinking of relaxed and pleasant afternoons.
A winter breeze blew over Basile's back, and he became aware of the season. He spared a glance to Keeya, thinking of this. He himself believed mates were to be earned. He was fond of Keeya, it was true, and she would go into season soon. He knew very well he could offer himself to her, but he didn't like the idea.
A rushed mating was not what he wanted. He wanted a slow courting, leading up to the finale of the Season. Perhaps Keeya could be the one he courted, he already found himself rather found of her. Only time could tell.
(Happy to oblige, Goanna!
