Thread: After the War (Razgriz x Lagertha)

Yade nodded his head, a stifled yawn leaving as he replied, Of course, my Queen. laying his own hand gently on hers. True, the loss of the other Nine-Tails was devastating Tiri'ol was lucky to have survived the purge, along with the seven and eight-tailed Kitsunes that were once guards themselves. Otherwise it could have been years, centuries even, before another would rise to Tiri'ol's rank. Because of this, he too hoped that the man at least tried to develop a form of proper etiquette. The Kitsune as a whole were suffering from the devastating reduction in number, and while so many young ones was excellent prospect for repopulation, it also meant a larger number of targets. With an Iron Wolf aiding them, protection matters for the Queen could be placed less so on the other Kitsune and help keep the children safe. Good night to you, Your Highness. And to you as well, young one said the kind elder, taking his leave and leaving the young Kitsune with his adoptive mother. I hope that the scary monster leaves soon making Mommy so upset! Rude! the little Kitsune thought to himself, cheeks puffing out in annoyance with his little arms crossed over his chest. Meanwhile, Orgoth was still working with Miwa and Ko on proper table manners. Thankfully, he'd picked up the use of the knife and fork easily enough there was still the issue of talking with his mouth full, among other things. Not to mention that even though he'd gotten used to using them, he was still basically trying to ram the entire portion of food into his mouth. No, no, Orgoth...Ugh, small pieces, my friend. Remember, the size of your pinky. Miwa tried explaining, his tone exasperated he'd decided that using the giant's finger as a reference would be best, since two of Orgoth's fingers overshadowed the entirety of a normal Kitsune's hand. I still don't understand why we cut it so small it's wasted effort. Effort that could be spent doing other things. Orgoth replied, clearly not sitting well with doing things 'just because it's expected'. Dying was expected, but that didn't mean a Wolf ran into the poison trail left by a Yaui Goa or suffocated on water. Because it's polite now granted, you're not talking with your mouth full, which is good. Even you agreed it was unsightly. Miwa replied, to which Orgoth retorted, No, I said it was easier to swallow then talk. Miwa shrugged, Same difference, you oaf. At this Ko yawned, Can we stop for tonight? I really need to get some sleep. Miwa seemed upset that they hadn't gottenn further...But then, no one expected he would be able to get everything at once. And he had gotten further than he was expecting. It's probably best we do our large new friend here would probably like to sleep as well. What say you? Miwa then asked the giant, Orgoth replying Indeed, some rest would do us all good. However, given that I am her bodyguard, I will sleep lightly. You might not think it, but I can be roused by even the slightest disturbance. And with that, the trio put away the last of the wares and bid each other good night, Orgoth returning to his own hut directly adjacent to the Queen's own. He looked over the beds themselves, and decided that one was to be not enough. With little effort, he pulled all three together and after a few moments of laying down, fell into slumber nevertheless, his body alert and ready should any danger approach his newest charge.
