The words reached his ears with the prickling of thorns. They acted as if he couldn't hear them with his head bent over the nest. Sensing his distress, the rabbits he was attending to nudged his lowered nose. The smile he gave them had far more warmth in it than any he'd ever directed at a packmate. "Nothing to worry your heads about." The tall shepherd watched the gossipers from the corner of his eye. Surely they were aware he could hear them and yet they still continued their idiotic prattling. Raising his head, his wintry eyes fell on his accusers.[break][break]
Under his gaze, they shrank but seeing him do nothing, they soon puffed up in bravado. "I'm not wrong. If you go, you'll just stain the pack's reputation." As much as their words could hurt, they didn't. Nothing they were saying was new. He'd heard it all before from the same mouths that had praised his siblings. The black sheep had no place among them. It wasn't even one of them. But the fact that he was unmoved upset and emboldened his persecutors.[break][break]
A sneer crossed their jaws, "No wonder your mother left you. Who would want a snake like you as their son." Their words had barely left their mouth before Leo was at their throats. They could speak as much ill of him as they wished, but he would never allow them to do the same for his family. His mother was being more proud and honorable than this vermin eve could be. Leo would never allow her memory to be tarnished. The shepherd heard nothing of the screams, cries, and pleading. As a crowd gathered and he was pulled away, he let go and licked his lips, his tone low and warning, "Don't you speak of her." He didn't bother turning to the crowd to look for sympathy. He knew no one was on his side. Right in step, Iro arrived at his side and climbed up his leg to take his place at the base of Leo's neck. Without another word, he left.[break][break]
The shepherd found sanctuary in his den. Dug out from beneath the roots of a tree, the hollow was his only shelter. Gazing at the dirt walls, he sighed as he settled into a worn circle in the center of the small den. Iro tucked himself into the middle of Leo's bundle of fur. Once upon a time, he'd shared a large, well-loved den with his family. His parents had worked hard to carve out a safe, comfortable home for them. None of his siblings still slept there now. The place now sat hollow and abandoned after his family had shattered. All that was left now was the cold walls of his solitary den. He didn't expect anyone but his brother to come find him. Until then, he would stay where no else would speak ill of him. [attr=class,punkitagsrule] Bri |

Of course everything had to happen when the Anima was absent. Silver had been off tending to her other duties when the words of a fight having broken out reached her, sending both her and Wynd rushing to the spot, but by the time she had gotten there all she had to witness were the remnants of the fight with splattering of blood and those who had witnessed the fight whispering about what had transpired but the second they saw their snowy Anima they went silent but the silence didn't last as she started to question them. Her blood started to boil as different stories were told to her, some saying the Leo had been unprovoked and very few saying the victimized wolf had deserved what had happened.
She shook her head as she listened, turning away and starting the trek to Leocadio's den. She wasn't sure how he would react to her presence but she couldn't bring herself to leave things as they were. Besides her Wynd grumbled, leaving her to roll her eyes at him. "You don't have to come along," she told him but with the look he gaze her she could tell he wasn't going to just leave her so the two continued on their way.
When they got to Leo's den Wynd, with his usual gruff growl, went off, sitting to the side of the entrance while Silver lowered her head, peering inside but didn't take any steps. She cleared her throat, ears tipped forward, "Leocadio?"

He'd been proud to be his mother's son and share his father's blood. But none of that mattered now. They could insult him all they wanted, but he would defend his family's honor to no end. Thus, curled in his den, it wasn't resentment or anger that churned within. All that it was was simply acceptance. That was until a certain voice echoed in his chamber.[break][break]
He'd been expecting no one but Iscan to come check on the pack's black sheep. Iro shifted to the new voice and slipped to the ground. Leo followed suit, uncurling from his balled form. What met his eyes, highlighted by the early morning sun's rays, was the white form of the pack's Anima. Suddenly a new resentment arose to replace the idle acceptance. He should have expected it. The Anima was responsible for the Shepherd. It was only right she would come to punish him. But that did not stop his anger. They only ever caared that he was in the wrong.[break][break]
His head hung low, but his eyes held a cold glare. As he strode towards the entrance, his body was coiled with tension. His tafa curled between his feet. "Fancy seeing you here, Anima." He stopped just within the shadow of his den. "I guess you've heard." A growl laced his words. "Here to punish the sinner?" [attr=class,punkitagsrule] Bri |

Brows the color of moonlight rose from his response, how could she have expected any less of a response? "I have heard," she admitted as she gazed back him, "but I am not here to punish as you say. Merely I have come on the hunt of the truth for the stories given to me have been...mixed and it's only fair to hear your side." She told him, voice remaining cool, opposite of his growl. She didn't take offense to this, tensions were high and it was only a matter of time until some sort of scuffle occurred.
"I was hoping you would at least think that I'd give you a chance instead of running on assumptions." She couldn't help herself from teasing him just a bit, though unsure of how he would respond. If he lashed out at her perhaps she would let him...then again the fall out from the word of that happening...no, she wouldn't consider that.

He didn't buy a cent of her words. The Anima spoke of fairness, but nothing was. "I'm sure you've heard all you need to hear." Why should he bother telling her anything. It wasn't as if she would believe him: the Black-Hearted Shepherd. "Don't you have all of the truth that you need?" Silver may not speak or act like the others, but she was the same inside. What lay behind her eyes was the same scorn and distaste. He had nothing to say to a faker.[break][break]
The off-white brute turned, meaning to ignore the Anima until she left, when her words stopped him in his tracks. Normally, he would lash out with a venomous retort, but at that moment, his mind was blank. He had no response to the she-wolf's statement. His voice dropped low and the animosity was lost. All that remained was a bleak acceptance, "Why wouldn't you?" Surely, she had seen enough to know how rotted he was. After all, she'd been there when he'd encountered Alesso. He was his family's black sheep and the Au'Dar's snake in the grass. He held no one's trust. [attr=class,punkitagsrule] Bri |

Silver remained quiet as Leocadio spoke, her head tilting slight to the side as he assumed she'd heard enough. She hoped her expression stayed neutral as she watched her, let him speak as he wanted until it seemed to register to him what she had said.
A hint of a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth but she did her best to suppress it, not wanting to reignite the animosity that had surprisingly seemed to die down. "Because it's not how I am," she said, voice softening. She wanted to say more, to emphasize with him, but held her tongue for what was the worst then that could happen to someone who was lucky enough to be titled as the Anima. Such a name made it easy to overlook how poorly her family had treated her.

They rang in his mind like a muffled bell in the darkness. A sound that threatened the truth he had set in stone. "That's impossible," his voice dropped to a whisper. Even with the evidence before him, he could not accept this reality. All he had known was a world that cursed him. No other could exist. Not when even his family had turned theirs back on him.[break][break]
"You're lying," he growled. Those he had trusted most had betrayed him. Silver had no reason to take his side. This was all a jest. If he turned around and looked her in the eyes, they would hold nothing more than a taunting laugh for falling for this trick. For thinking anyone would care about him. He was no fool. Not anymore.

A frown pulled down at the corner of her lips as Leocadio's words reached her. Her brows furrowed as he denied her and deep in her chest she felt a piece of her heart chip. She tried brushing away that ache, she should be used to it, others assuming how she felt, trying to shove their ideas of who she should be onto her. Briefly she thought of her parents and their harsh eyes, even harsher words, and even worst strikes on her flesh for not being their ideal child. The scars still hid underneath her snowy coat, refusing to be seen, her refusing to let anyone see them.
"I have no reason to lie to you," She responded, bringing her gaze to meet his as she continued to stand her ground. Her eyes held a softness to them but it was not pity, there was some concern there but overall...a truth sat there. A truth she doubted he would-or could-ever accept. "I would not lie to you, there is no point in trying to trick you into anything."

Leo flinched away from the softness in Silver's gaze. What he saw there stung more than any glare. A nature so foreign he could not acknowledge that it could ever be directed at him. But he had no reproach. Nothing that hadn't already been said. His eyes saw only the packed dirt beneath his paws as his frame trembled. Knowing exactly what his wolf needed, Iro's speckled body slithering quietly into view. Lightly, the snake reached up to touch his partner's nose. Just like that, a sigh escaped him bringing with it all of his anger and pain. But still he would not look at the Anima. Instead, he slid slowly to the floor. Iro draping himself over his partner's nose.[break][break]
"Then why are you here?" he questioned, resignation in his voice. This was no battlefield reeking of blood and death and yet, he felt like he had just lost some great battle. Neither combat training nor the harshest of verbal spats had ever left him feeling so defeated. But now not even a whisper of a barb remained on his tongue. "Well?"

Though her face remained with its gentle ease Silver's body still held a stiffness in her muscles, ready to leap out of the way in case something were to go wrong. She didn't believe-or want to believe that any form of physical altercation would break out between her and Leo but years of living with her own siblings made old habits that might as well have been engrained in her DNA, die hard. She almost let loose a sigh of relief when something in Leocadio seemed to shift as he laid on on the floor. Silver still didn't dare to enter the den, instead she sat at the cusp of its entrance as she continued to peer down at him.
A huff came from her side, reminding her that Wynd was at her side but instead of growling and sneering the grumpy badger settled at her side, chin resting on his front paws. Silver's tail curved around the back of her tafa. Even though Wynd was gruff and tense she could always find comfort and reassurance in his presence. The two could always maintain their balance, a balance that reminded her of how thankful she was to have a tafa.
"I am here," she started, gaze drifting back to the male in the shadows, "to hear your side of the story. I am not so quick to buy into the gossip." She said, refraining from rolling her eyes no matter how hard she wanted to. Sometimes it felt like she was dealing with pups instead of fully grown Shepherds. Sometimes the annoyance just deepened that wish to run away across the border and never look back.

Her answer hadn't changed despite the barbs he'd confronted her with. She'd remained the steadfast Anima he'd always known. Thus his eyes could only lower in defeat as he turned his head to the side. The truth. It had always ever been a distorted truth. One that served to fuel his dark reputation. They only ever wanted to hear the parts of the truth that supported what they wanted to hear. At some point, he'd started to accept it as his truth as well. But that wasn't what was wanted here.[break][break]
From his place on the ground, a low sigh left him. "They questioned why I was chosen for the expedition." They weren't wrong to. He felt the same. But that wasn't what had caused the incident. Iro slithered from his place across his nose to burrow into his neck fur. He settled himself at the base of his head. Courage. "They said," he could forget everything else, but their words would never leave, "It was no wonder my mother left." Their words because he believed it too. If he'd tried harder that day to stop her, maybe she'd still be here and everything wouldn't be as twisted as it was.[break][break]
His eyes lingered on shadows for a moment too long, before he stood roughly, getting to his feet in a cloud of dust. "You've heard what you were looking for." He turned, intending on curling up in the darkest recesses of his den, furthest from the entrance. "Will you leave now." Though it was spoken as a command, the slightest question lingered there. A small part of him didn't want Silver to leave. Startled by the realization, he shook his head harshly and attempted his usual indifferent sneer. That couldn't be true. There was no way it was. But Iro knew better. The tafa came up to Silver, staring up at her from his place on the ground. Stay.

The minute he decided to speak Silver released the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding in the moment of silence that had stretched out between them she had made it clear that she wasn't going to leave.
She remained silent as she listened to Leocadio speak but as he told the story of what was said she felt the flames of anger licking the back her neck. Those words, the cruelty, those were things similar to what Onyx had snapped to her when she'd been chosen to take the mantel she held. She knew had sharp words could be, sometimes they mad her wish they were claws and teeth instead. Those injuries were easier to heal from. Her lips parted to speak, the bite at how wrong those others had been but Leocadio was barreling on, leaving her to be silent as the anger continued to built. It wasn't just that this incident had happened, it's what it meant as well. That those who were supposed to care and nurture held such bitterness and anger within them to lash out. Those were not the kind of individuals that she wanted around the young and impressionable Tafa.
Besides her Wynd lifted his head, looking from Iro to Silver as if he was asking what her choice would be. Would be risk being snapped at and try to stay or would she turn tail and leave now that she'd gotten her story?
Silver looked to Iro, offering the snake a soft smile. "Will I leave?" She repeated thoughtfully, "I think if I leave there will be more blood spilled." She told him as she remained in place, no lie behind her truth. Though she had her gentle demeanor some could say it was a mask that hid the true Valkyrie of fury that lurked just below the surface.
