(You wanna start back with the boys then? Maybe having skipped a few days?)
(You wanna start back with the boys then? Maybe having skipped a few days?)
(Yes, that makes sense. I feel like we should have some ongoing plot back at the camp too, though. What might that be?)
Hmm… maybe they're moving back to the main base for the rally?
(Sure. So are they traveling a while to get to said base or something to join and make larger forces basically?)
Pretty much, i have a feeling Silver will have kept Aurelius close.
(Yeah, makes sense. Did you want to start?)
( I would prefer you did…)
(Okay, give me a few minutes.)
(Also Imma come back in the morning cause I need sleep…)
Aurelius walked ahead after some of the rebels. He was nearly in the rear of the group, despite having started out much closer to the front. He had been feeling better, but this was the most physical exertion he'd had to put forth in a while. No one really seemed to notice that he was struggling to keep pace, but they couldn't have been far at this point, so he figured he'd keep quiet until he was in danger of being left behind. Perhaps not even then.
Silver dropped back behind the others, looking for Aurelius. Spotting him he went over, "You alright mate?" he asked, deciding not to mention that he was falling behind.
"Tired," he replied, panting just a little, "which seems about right. I've been doing a lot better, but my endurance isn't quite back yet. It's been a long journey."
Aurelius still managed to smile a little at Silver.
Silver shifted to Wolf form. "You may as well ride and save your strength… we don't need you passing out" he said, padding close to the other.
"O-oh… Thank you," Aurelius said, stopping and getting on Silver's back.
"That'll help a lot."
Silver chuckled, picking up the pace a little. "No worries" he said, "Normally I'd only offer encouragement, but you're a different case."
"Yeah, I've felt a lot… different, ever since being captured. I don't know how much I can hold my own, even now. It's getting better. I've been training some. They've given me slightly more labor-intensive jobs. But something's still not quite right."
Silver frowned, "Well, we can talk more about that later once we stop for the night." he said, "For now it doesn't seem to be something urgent, so it can wait a few more hours."
"No, of course not," Aurelius agreed, "I just want to get there at the moment so I can rest up some more."
Silver nodded in agreement, catching up with the other wolves, Alex and his sister and Sirus.
Aurelius looked around where the other half-wolves were, all of them keeping up with the massive group of travelers.
"Does anyone know where we are? I've never traveled through this area before."
Alex shrugged, "Some area near the capital I think." he said.
"Ah, okay," Aurelius replied under his breath.
He had his hands buried deep in Silver's fur, and he was hanging on firmly, but in a relaxed, gentle manner. If there wasn't anyone else around, he would've laid down and buried his face in Silver's soft coat.
Silver let a low, inaudible, growl of pleasure at the other's touch rise in his throat, he made sure Aurelius could hear it, looking back at him for a moment with a wolfish smile.
Aurelius' heart fluttered a little bit and he smiled back. He felt like he was melting.
Gods, he's so cute…
Silver grinned as he focused back on his pawsteps. *Why is he so adorable?"
