Aeolus was relieved that he wasn’t talking to a spirit, though he had come to accept them more lately. Nyx’s giggle at his comment about being scared let a smile fall on his lips. ”I’m sorry, I truly didn’t mean to startle you.” Aeolus dismissed that comment – of course she didn’t. You can’t tell if someone’s a spirit elemental based on their outside appearance. It really didn’t bother the lad, so he just introduced himself. Her response was nice, given that she didn’t recognize his relation to Sabertooth royalty. ”It’s nice to meet you too, Aeolus.” He gave a small nod, finding himself lost in his thoughts for a moment before he asked why she was out here. That was when the crimson, leather, chocolate, and white male noticed she moved closer, and he felt his heartbeat speed up. Nyx looked similar to Derevko, both having the lamprydae bloodline. His ears perked as the lass spoke, noting her cute smile and the head tilt. ”Well, I don’t have a pack to call home. I’m more of a nomad. I was originally a Lamprydae, but I gained Voodoo in one of the last meteor falls. Most don’t pay me mind, though I can calm those I get close to because of my lamprydae.” His steely eyes flecked with navy noticed her move closer, and she was entirely wrong – sure, his mind had relaxed a bit, but his heart? Pounding faster, but not out of fear. ”You seem tense about something, maybe I can help.”

A nervous laugh left Aeolus, his eyes meeting her sapphires for a moment. ”While I still have some stress about a problem that’s been solved, the rest of it is over a girl, my soulmate to be precise. She does not seem to want me, but we both know it’s better to not break the tie because of us being in the same pack, not really ‘aving other options pack-wise to pursue. It’s silly, really.” Aeolus looked again at Nyx, winking. ”Especially when I’m fighting such a strong urge, tch’ya know what I mean?” He let out a small laugh, hoping that comment would be well received. Nyx was already a better alternative, given Hermes was dumb and caused a war because of who he decided to mate with. If Aeolus could mate with Nyx, the drama that could potentially rise would be nothing in comparison to what his skyborne brother had caused. He smiled cheekily at Nyx, stepping a bit closer to her. ”Of course, I mean this with no pressure whatsoever, but tch’ya are beautiful, and any guy would be lucky to have an opportunity with tch’ya.” Aeolus would not act out until he got consent, he had to carefully step on glass to make this work.
