Exodus AU, France Pack

[super_lars]

Milo was sitting on the floor with his head on Eric's knee and practicing forming a shadow between his two hands. There was a little gray wolf on the hearth rug next to a girl who was polishing and restringing her bows. There was a little brown wolf tussling with a rope toy and trying to get a HUGE black wolf to play with him.

Comments

[sv_danii]

"Yes, which is as it should be. You'll notice Marcus is only rarely out of his fur as well."

[super_lars]

"Yeah, usually only for Kurt, but Esteban is in and out of fur all the time. Why is that?"

[sv_danii]

"Esteban is a chimera," he admitted with a spread of his hands, "and his Animus is not his only trait."

[super_lars]

Milo was about to ask about that when Marcus yipped, and then barked, and bolted for the door.

[sv_danii]

The boy who walked in then was dressed all in black. He bore a definite resemblance to Christine, but his features were harder, sharper, and he was a little taller as well. He leaned down to let Marcus lick his hands.

[super_lars]

Marcus jumped on him once in excitement, and then started vigorously cleaning his hands.

[sv_danii]

Eric pointed.

"I don't believe you've met Kurt before. He's been on a mission for the Crown, as he often is."

[super_lars]

Milo sat up in Eric's lap to have a look at Kurt.

"No, I have not, Monsieur. Am I to serve him as well?"

[sv_danii]

Eric spread his hands.

"You are not to 'serve' anyone, my dear boy. You are here as a guest as the others are. Though from what I understand, Kurt and Marcus are somewhat exclusive."

[super_lars]

Milo actually looked mildly disappointed.

"They're very sweet together."

Once the cleaning was done, Marcus shifted up to skin and bounced up for a kiss.

[sv_danii]

Kurt lifted him for a sweet kiss before cuddling the boy in his arms and carrying him to a corner near the fire for further attention.

[super_lars]

Milo perked up when he saw Marcus shift.

"He's really pretty!"

[sv_danii]

Eric chuckled.

"Yes, he is. They're very lovely."

[super_lars]

"How did you find all of us? You live in the middle of nowhere."

[sv_danii]

He laughed at that.

"And where else does one find a wolf pack?"

[super_lars]

"In the woods, I'd imagine, but I am no wolf."

[sv_danii]

"And there are plenty of woods around here. And to the contrary, I spend enough time in town. I'm a Queen's man myself."

[super_lars]

"Really? What does the Queen require your services for?"

[sv_danii]

"I handle business she doesn't care to handle herself," he said with a little smile.

[super_lars]

He smirked.

"Like ravishing every beautiful young person in the land?"

[sv_danii]

He laughed.

"She has a husband, and he is a fine prize. But I only wish that was all."

[super_lars]

"Is it anything I can help with?"

[sv_danii]

"I hope to bring you into the fold eventually," he admitted.

"When you fee up to it."

[super_lars]

He turned to straddle Eric's lap.

"I would do anything to help you, Eric."

[sv_danii]

He looked at Milo.

"Perhaps you will."
