Nero paused his stride as she finished speaking. "Is he around here" his tone implies a sort of interest that may involve himself. Nero can use this as an opportunity. Besides feeling obliged to follow her, since she's a stranger.
His nose works without him thinking about it, sniffing as though to catch a new scent besides hers. "And why do you need to kill him. You may be addle, but I don't think you'd just kill your brother at random."

Solstice sighed and stopped walking at looked at Nero. " I don't know, this is where I tracked him to. As for why.... he had done so much to all others around him. And all he has ever asked for was death, but I'm to nice to do it. Until now through... He has suffered for so long, I believe he deserves to die... to be free." She stated as tears started to drip form her muzzle. Solstice shook her head slightly. " One of us is going to die, me or him, I just hope that he eventually gets what he wants.... even if I can't do it." She sighed and looked up at Nero. " There is so much I have left to do, find a mate, have some pups..... those are the things that my mother always said was every wolf's life goal. To raise a family... she always said that in order to learn everything then it was needed to raise a family and teach them to live so that we may learn from them. I never understood what she meant, but at this rate I'll never find out..." Solstice looked at the water and gave another half-hearted sigh before shaking away the tears and giving Nero a big smile.

Nero's head shifted from one side slowly to the other, his chocolate brown eyes watching her ever little move and twitch. Those little twitches spoke volumes about her, and she may not know it. "Don't take so wide a step when you walk. It will relieve some of the stress along your back." it seems out of place, but it's something he sees that in the long run would actually help her with her fighting her brother. The stress along her back could be a crippling thing should a heavy weight hit her shoulders or hips.
It also helps to divert her sadness, spring something like that. He hopes that works anyway.

Solstice looked at Nero for a bit before giving a wide smile and nudging the side of his neck with her nose in a sign of affection and started to walk on, staring at her feet to make sure her steps weren't as wide. Her abnormal stepping caused her hips and tail swing even more than normal. /" I must look so funny right now."/ Solstice thought as she kept trying hard to walk that way.

Greed laughed to himself as he watched the two wolves ahead of him. He could hear them perfectly clear, but he would not mention that to them. Unlike normal birds, greed was doing a walk/hop along the ground instead of flying. He looked like an idiot, he knew this...but he didn't care.

"It will help you, trust me." he says quietly, not sure exactly what to do with himself. He's survived being touched, and was proud of that. Normally others did not touch him, he was not touchy feely. He licks his lips and looks at everything else. How do others do this togetherness thing? Work with others.
"I study anatomy. I can help you find your brother." thinking fast to make this sound like it's selfish he quickly adds "So that way I can dissect him. I don't know as much about our own species forms as I would like to."

Solstice smiled and randomly shivered. " you know you could kill him for me. But he may take that wrong, you know like lovey dovey kinda way... and we can't have that now can we?" She said with a chuckle. She shook at herself, here she was being WAY to flirty, with a wolf she barely even knows. Solstice looked back at Nero and couldn't help but to smile, as she always did when she even glanced at him. " What's to know about our anatomy; muscle, bones, blood, organs, yada yada." She said all nonchalantly hoping to distract him form the painfully obvious flirtatiousness that she was imposing.

Nero cocks his head off to the side. "There is so much more than just that! Cutting with claws in just such a way to not tear the inner lining beneath the skin, which arteries to cut out to make someone freeze up. So many different things, and it varies too from male to female as well, slight variations of the form." He catches up some and pokes her in a rib "I could, with some work, remove that, and not kill you right away. I could leave you gasping."
He pokes her just lightly in the neck. "I've learned to paralyze, to leave my prey wishing it was a fast death." There is such pride in his voice at his knowledge, as though all he knows is how to bring pain.

Her body tingled with his every touch, but despite the weird feelings she was getting from him she frowned as she looked upon him. " Yes very useful skills, but why? Do you only do so to cause pain and fear? Or do you do it to protect someone or something?" She asked as her tail lightly brushes up against him. I personally don't mind pain... matter of fact some deserve it. Like those types of people who believe love and friendship is the only way, passivises annoy me. Anyone who cannot take charge and protect those they care for is not worth the trouble. But the opposite annoys me just as much, those who cannot control their anger and must see to it that all suffer... There is a point in the middle where it is okay, and that is where I stand.." She said with pride in her voice. " If I could start a pack with those kind of morals, then I would... through I would need a strong mate to rule with since I'm more of a friendly than a fighter..." She added quietly and with wonder.

Greed's head pricked up at the scent of Sloth. She was not far, and could easily know that Greed was lurking around here. The female feline tended to hate birds, and Greed knew this. Scared, he flew away, feathers flew everywhere.
Sloth was hungry and had smelt Greed close by. Tempted to kill the annoying and weak sin. Sloth had crept upon him, not noticing the two wolves until she readied herself to pounce. The giant feline sighed, re-retracting her claws back and closing her bared fangs. She yawned and decided to confront the two domesticated animals. Her shoulders move easily through their slots as she quietly walked out of the bushes behind the wolves. Her large tail whipped around as she glanced at the wolves with her yellow eyes. The feline, Sloth, was a panther. Her pelt was a shining black shade with a few grey hairs here and there.

Nero is aware of the little touch, but is taken aback at her final words, like a blow to the guts. He was born in Shadow Hive, surely he will die in it's service as well? He cannot resist an answer and reply to the former words though. She had addressed his moral conduct, whether meaning to directly or not, in asking if he only caused pain.
A tone of pleasure creeps into his voice as he starts "I do not cause just pain and fear, I can bring pleasure, I have learned many things in the regards of that. I seek to gain a higher knowledge and understanding of the forms of body and mind. What makes things tick, why does it move the way it does, what does it feel like healthy, sick, distended, many things." He looks at her pointedly now, still pleasure in his tone, but colored too with a weight "I said earlier there is light and dark. That is because it makes the shadows and shades of gray. While what I do, and I do kill needlessly at times, can be considered evil, or bad in nature, it is done for my higher purpose of understanding. It is for my good, and the good of my pack." His reasoning explained there he had tried to forget the, what is to him, Marxist views. But it's still there, a sore now on his shoulder.
"The idea of another pack here baffles me. I don't know how you would do such a thing!" Despite his turned back ears his tone is curious "Shadow Hive would never accept it, and Cross Roads....I have no idea about them." the mention of cross roads his ears press to his scalp and he looks across the river, though does not seem to realize that he did.

Solstice looked at him with wonder. " Don't worry I wouldn't take over lands, I'd probably go somewhere else. besides... I doubt I'll live that long... hell I probably won't live to find a mate or even someone I love by the time I pass.. " She said slowly She gave a small sigh and watched Nero for awhile. " My mother always said that everything that happens to us is a step towards out life goal, the mate and family thing, that even through they may not seem like our goals at the time, they are someones.. everyone has their place... even in the lives of those around them." She said with a smile.

Nero nods and turns away to drink water, his tail tip twitching almost cat like. He can understand the reasoning behind what Solstice's mother had said on goals, but at the same time was disinclined to accept it. "That may be an instinctual goal, but each of us has a life goal, as you yourself have said. Yours is to hunt down your brother and give him his goal, death."
That haughty look returns to his face, but it's marred with what may be a sprinkle of respect. He licks water drops from his lips He carries on an easy walk down the shore, black paws sure footed on the stones. "On your last I can agree, everyone has a purpose in the lives of others. I do not believe there is happenstance myself. Some are short, as yours almost was in mine, others are much longer, though that does not mean the impression will be deeper."
He trips just slightly on a very loose stone and snorts at himself, but seems bemused "It's the little things."

Solstice watches him walk and listens to his words carefully. " Almost?" She said lightly " My purpose in your life was almost short?" Solstice titled her head like a confused pup, her blue eyes not helping that image, " It has indeed been a short time, are you expecting longer perhaps?" She padded up next to him but tread lightly as she watched him slip, so slightly it could be overlooked. " It's the little things that help us learn, the little things that help us see, it the little things that let us handle the big things with pride and ambition, as well as protect us where other may fail." She smiled at Nero hoping that in some small way she was getting through to him and showing him that you can find SOMETHING of interest in the most random of places.
