The relief was almost palpable, Daerus letting out a long sigh. "I know all this... He can't be very old, seventeen or eighteen. He shows remarkable restraint. I don't think his Wolfen blood is as previlent as you think" it wasn't uncommon for a half breed and a human to bear a child. The resulting offspring was usually much tamer. "He shouldn't give you many problems. Just let me talk to him... I'll make sure he behaves for you"<br/><br/>When Daerus went to talk to Remus in private, there was a long silence as they spoke outside of ear shot, and then the boys crying could be heard. He had latched onto the man who knelt down to hold him, begging him not to leave, his claws cutting cruelly into his back. Daerus had expected this, and as hard as it was for Remus, it was nothing compared to how he felt. It had to be done though.<br/><br/>"Shhh, I won't be gone forever Remus..." he wince as his sharp claws sliced easily through his clothes, petting his hair and waiting for him to calm, soothing him. "Here, I have something for you" he reached into his pocket and drew out a fist sized rock, smooth and oddly shaped. It unfolded and hopped up in his hand, a bird made from light stone. It bounced to turn and look at Daerus, then cocked its head and looked to Remus, blinking and giving a curious little chirp.<br/><br/>Remus blinked, looking at the strange bird. "W-what is it?" "It's a Kai-Falcon. It'll never die from a crash or a predator, and can brave weather no other bird can, faster then other can" he held his hand out as the Kai-Falcon hopped into his palm, inspecting its new owner.<br/><br/>"What am I supposed to do with it?" "Keep in touch" Remus looked up at him, realizing what he meant. "But I can't write!" "Well, guess you'll just have to learn then" Daerus smiled and placed his hand on the Wolfen's shoulder. Remus narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips, nodding his understanding. "Alright Master... Remus learn!" he now had one goal in his mind, to do as his Master told and learn to read and write. Daerus knew if he gave the boy a task it would make him handle this a lot better.<br/><br/>"You be good to Camellia now. While I'm gone, SHE is your Master. You're to obey her in the same way you obey me. Am I understood Remus?" He nodded his understanding. "Yes Master. Will be good"<br/><br/>When Daerus finally left, it was to a teary but determined Remus perched at the window, watching the carriage he had slept in for so long disappear under the heavy sheets of rain. He whined pitifully, eyes still leaking a little, but he would do as his Master had instructed. He sighed and forced himself to think on that and only that...
