Lake Danson: It was clear that Louki was one for words.

It was clear that Louki was one for words.

He chuckled softly as the wolf began to speak, sarcasm dripping from every word with a bittersweet sense of humor.

"I'd call it a land of angels," the hyena replied sweetly in a tone that implied he might be embellishing. "I don't believe I could imagine one not enjoying your company. I feel as if I am in the presence of a true - " He paused, as if delving into his mind for an oblique enough word. Finding the right one proved as rather difficult, yet he concluded the sentence with the word "icon." Failing to say an icon of what. Perhaps a compound word commonly abbreviated as B.S.

The hyena quickly thought back to his own introduction with Taboo, and allowed a shrug to roll of his hunched shoulders. "I believe he'd trust a stranger to pull thorns out of his throat for him," he growled shortly, slowly retreating from his bout of sarcasm, but not hiding the low chuckle that followed his own comment. Cu Sith and his friend had been allowed into the pack in mere seconds with little but names... no thorough questionaire, just a simple introduction and an empty promise of Cu Sith's caught the alpha's trust. The hyena hadn't thought much of it at the time; only until now did he flex over his new alpha's persona now that it was mentioned.

When Louki asked the question of his luck, Cu Sith's dark grey eyes were drawn curiously to the healthy one of the wolf, wondering what mischeif was hiding behind it. His talk of Taboo had asserted that he wasn't going to offer a leash to this wolf, and these vague clues dragged the hyena's interest forth a second time.

"I'm not the type who needs luck," the hyena replied with a slow smile, taking his time to fully answer the question. He dug his claws into the soft dirt, pulling up a small plug of earth and examining the small hole he made with a sudden interest. He slowly enlarged the circumference until it was clear that there was nothing very special about this patch of earth, yet pretended it was still captivating his interest.

"If I say so myself, the journ to Kuna was rather delightful." He spoke with his eyes still cast as his crevice, although in delicate motions, his paw returned the soil back in place, patting it softly as if he had just planted something there. Little did the earth know, it was still empty inside, and no seed had been embedded in its barren surface. His eyes returned to Louki and all interest in the ground was suddenly razed... no pun intended.

"And now that you mention it, that sweet and lovable wolf Taboo allowed both me and my young companion to call his lands a home. I would consider him such an icon of generosity...," pointedly using particulars this time. His sentence ended in an unmuffled bark of laughter, followed by a more sustained chuckle. "Hehe... who am I kidding."
