this is the reckoning
Keenly observant, had to always be that way, considering the way he’d grown up and simply seemed to march to war drums every couple of years, he watched as the other man went rigid. That could’ve been for any reason – a hellhound’s appearance didn’t often signal good omens. But it was Deimos’s turn to be mildly surprised, a widening of his eyes, when he received an answer – fortunate enough to have stumbled upon a fellow Attuned, even if they weren’t shifted.
Withholding a snort, because that flicker of amusement rumbled through, he tilted his head a fraction instead, ears twitching back and forth as the stranger responded not through the bond, but out loud. The question seemed understandable, but merely five paces ahead of where the Warden might have wandered down. Perhaps these were normal circumstances for the stranger. I destroy it. Fun, really. He gave half a grin, fangs and all, and then promptly stomped on another bout of mud threatening to bound towards his front legs. The crisp, flaring embers bursting from his paws launched themselves upon the grime, and it bubbled, melted, scarred back into the ground. Have you been impairing it too? Or maybe he was one of those that remained unbothered by the whole thing.
