His had been a life of sandy beaches and dense jungle. Scaling tree or masts, running up dunes or through scrubland, the large todd was capable and comfortable. This fur even seemed to defy the Kutorokan heat and humidity to which he had grown up so accustomed.
Ice was so much more than...
Whatever Lorcan's reflections were on Alwyn's reply, they were dismissed in the instant of somebeast shouting of a beast overboard. His gaze snapped to the railings. Strange: he'd neither seen commotion nor expected crew to be so green as to fall from the deck, least of all so soon after...
By all accounts it was yet another two hours until the shift-change would be called and, having been roused more by crewmates stumbling and scrabbling in the dark than the cry which had spurred it, Lorcan was moved to action by the air of urgency over any awareness of context. Given the apparent...
Though a cynical sneer flashed through his mind at the concept of privilege, Lorcan knew that his cousin had been raised to entirely different standards. He supposed a beast raised with the ideals of serving others would think such a way – or at least on the surface proclaim as such to remain...
Though she had a fair point, Lorcan was of no mind to be so humble and acknowledge such: he snorted at once. “I can behave just fine. He was in in jail, too!” Overconfidence had ever been his companion and it remained to be seen whether he would manage to obey the chain of command without...
Putting his muscle to use with a will, Lorcan gave his cousin a nod and grunt of greeting as he finished sheeting in with the rest of the group. Granted on a ship this size the task needed more paws to bend to the work and more sails to tend to than he had used, but the system was the same. Most...
Lorcan had grinned insolently at the threat in anticipation of a scuffle to come, but it seemed that it was not to be. No sooner had Kinza begun to advance she was distracted by noise outside and, curious as always, her brother was not far behind.
Scowling in confusion he bounded to the window...
It was much busier than he’d expected. Lorcan had cut his teeth on skiffs and ketches in his youth as his parents taught him the art of sailing, but even the longer trips abroad had been on smaller craft than this. The signing-on had been a quieter affair but today was a true show of how many...
Lorcan himself was, for now, rather ambivalent about this news save the unwavering sense of having missed something significant. To be related to a serial killer, much less a beast he had only heard of in tales, meant little to his lived experience. He wasn’t one much to concern himself with...
Lorcan didn’t truly know how he felt. Sure enough he had been keen to flex his own independence and fly from Kutoroka to forge his own destiny, but he had done so by following the enthusiasm of his sibling. He was loathe to admit that he had taken Kinza’s lead, perhaps a little too soon for his...
"Eh?"
It was about as eloquent as one was going to get from Lorcan. Having been prepared to regale his father with the tale of their daring escape (hopeful, of course, that it would impress), the turn the conversation meandered began to put him ill at ease. There was more than one layer of...
It was some considerable time before Lorcan’s more-tousled-than-usual head poked around the door to regard his sister with what had initially been shared misery. Unfortunately he was a younger sibling: the look transmuted almost at once to glee.
Having been born in tropical climes and only made...
Distracted momentarily by his sister’s kick, Lorcan shot her a glare which was more smug than anything before his attention returned to the conversation unfolding before him.
He could not speak for Kinza, but Lorcan felt out of his depth. There seemed to be shared history here, history he only...
For his part the youngest of the Keltoi-Ironclaw brood could not fathom why so many were making such a drama. Utterly perplexed, the large todd crossed his arms and leaned against the cabin wall with an expression the picture of abject confusion.
He was hardly stupid enough not to understand...
