He blames the conversation, for missing the crunching sounds of hooves on the snow. Blindsided and yet so excited for the possibility, his mind had not been on the possibility of someone finding them. Talking to others had never been high on their priority of things to do. “Well, we can start practicing now, that way when the time rolls around, we will be ready.” A mischievous smile curls his lips and he leans into her touch.
“OH, YOU ARE SO, SO PRETTY!”
He snorts and turns towards the child, his nose reaching out to sniff her gently. And for a moment recognition struck him, but then it’s gone too fleeting for him to realize who it might have been. His time in the jungle, guarding Quark from herself and from anyone else had been so long ago, he could not remember everything. He could not remember if he had ever met the rest of her children.
Because once he had met Drow, there had been no one else.
And then Rys and Pazuzu fell in love and together they had all raised their children. Now, now the rest of them were gone. Arzhur was not foolish enough to think forever. He did not forget the pure strength Drow had, both in mind and body. Nor did he forget the ability to survive that Pazuzu had. And so he waited, because to him, they would return.
Some day.
The hint of fire on the air, made his eyes narrow slightly and he started to shift his weight over to cover Rys until the other’s voice said a nickname that he hadn’t heard in years. “Dare.” He said, Zur’s eyes falling on the familiar mismatched eyes. Then he smiles. “Gendry?” She says, Zur’s lips reaching to touch her neck lightly before she was on her way to go wrap her big brother up into a big hug. He gives them his moment, sending a small wink towards the little girl when she takes a glance towards him.
His hooves close the small distance between them, but he settles in just behind her. Rys starts to talk to the little girl and when she introduces him, he smiles a little more. His jungle green eyes turning away from the girl to her father. “Arzhur.” He says in greetings, dipping his head just a bit in a small nod.
