He sighed heavily after she had already shut herself into the room not allowing him to explain anything. His plans were to tell her why he didn't allow himself to get close to anyone, let alone another of the noble or royal families. She was right though he didn't really take charge in his life, he tried a few times but most were shot down so easily that he had given up on getting out of this loop of hell he call ed a life.
He needed to talk to her tomorrow, not that she'd probably understand but he still needed to talk to her. Or that was his plan anyway when he woke up. Though a guard handed him the note after he had walked to her room. Reading it over he rolled his eyes a little. 'She tells me to take charge and then runs away? tsk' He hissed in his mind before walking away from the guard who seemed a little confused.
She probably had walked all through the night, she'd be the type to do that.. where was she. Oh wait he had told her Vaden never changed his location really so she'd be heading there. That was at least a few days walk depending on the pace. She might be half way by now if she walked the whole night, give or take a little.
He wouldn't have really cared if it wasn't for the fact that he had upset her last night, he always watched himself trying to not be too forward and yet he still managed to fuck it up somehow. Either way he could catch up to her he thought as he entered the stables. There were rows of horses but thats what the creature he was looking for, he needed something that ran a little faster.
At the far end there was a stall that contained a reptilian like creature that was half covered in feathers and half covered in scales. The beast had hunter eyes and claws that would make you think twice about messing with it. It's tail swayed a little as it noticed Zek standing there. He smirked a little "you and me have something we have to do ... " he spoke to the beast as if it understood.
It might have had two legs compared to a horses four but it's speed was hardly something to snort at, Raptus is what they were called, a sort of breed of raptor that was domesticated years ago and is larger then most of it's counterparts. They were hard as hell to tame and even tamed were known to kill the riders. Not that Zek had that worry, besides he had a talent for beasts like this one from dealing with dragons at a young age.
The creature was hissing out it's breaths as it ran, he had ran it from early morning to some time in the afternoon. Though for the time being he saw no trace of Elvara. What was he expecting really. She didn't want to be found thus she probably wouldn't be.
He pushed the beast on a while longer before he noticed someone on the road ahead. It took most of the damned day but he had finally caught up to her as he yelled to her and received a glare at the fact he had bothered. Dismounting the beast he half ran over to her panting himself a little. "you... have some damn nerve..." he breathed out trying to regain himself a little.
She still seemed rather annoyed with his face let alone him speaking. "Not even letting me explain anything, and you told me i need to take charge yet you ran away? Tsk.. some advice." he straightened a little before trying to speak again. "You want to know why I keep my distance from nobles or royals, it's not cause of the damn title!"
He started to go on, screw trying to explain things out clearly to her. "believe it or not I am part demon, it's not as easy as you think truth me. The reason why I refuse to let anyone get close or let myself get too tangled with someone is because of what I did over 70 years ago." she seemed a little confused in what he meant by that. "I had grown close to someone, I dare say I might have loved her. The reward she got for bothering to look past my crude actions and selfish ways was death, no I didn't do it on purpose but it was still my damn fault."
If he thought she wouldn't walk away if he went slower on the details then he would have, but he saw her as the type to walk away saying her mission was more important. "So there, some information you probably didn't know. To put it all bluntly I didn't want to hurt you." He bowed his head a little towards her. "Now seeing as you left, I'll take my leave now and allow you to get back to your quest before I cause anymore trouble." he merely shrugged before turning around and walking towards the creature who was still standing there with it's sharp eyes.
