it's over, i'm through

I saw you standing there and I knew I'm done for

The were-King had hardly expected the fashion in which Henry seemed almost...defensive of that conversation he knew well the man had held with his sibling. He could hardly help that near panic that sent his heart a flutter, the man almost unable to stop those creeping thoughts of 'what if'. What if it was already too late? What if she had already stolen the man away from him? What he didn't anticipate, however, was to discover that his Vector's behavior was due to Raven herself. That sentence alone prompted a soft sigh from the man, his hand reached up to run though those curly locks. He knew well of the woman's tendency to rely upon her telepathic capabilities when it came to those topics she felt particularly passionate of. It was, however, that sentence that Henry disliked being bossed around, particularly by women that drew his gaze upwards, those eyebrows raising ever so slightly. It was hardly that he took offense to such a statement, quite the contrary, Tetradore had been raised a traditionalist in every sense of the world. It was instead the simple fact that he had never consider that perhaps Henry might have it within him to truly be a member of noteable rank within that pack prior to that very moment. Perhaps Henry was meant to be his heir...one day.

For now, however, his head bobbed in slow understanding. "Raven has a tendency to do that when it comes to topics of Frost or my sibling." He stated, a small frug tugged at the corner of his features. "She had an incident with Frost and Nadya has two children that were fathered by Tobias. As you can imagine, it makes her very...passionate about her dislike of either of them. I will speak to her about the use of her power but...she is not your Alpha or your Beta. That is not to say you should not take her thoughts into consideration but..." A small shrug crossed his shoulders and yet, in this, Tetradore knew he had to walk carefully. Though it was certainly expected for the man to favor his own creation, that pack hierarchy was entirely meant to be organic. Nevertheless, it was with that topic of Raven behind them that Tetradore continued onwards, speaking, in vague terms, of his sister and her tendency to not only get involved within his own life but to also be at the heart of every difficulty that Tetradore faced after that escape from his vampire mistress. He hardly anticipated the fashion that Henry seemed to catch so fiercely upon that vague admittance of his own feelings and yet that abrupt inquiry caused the man to pause.

Emotions were a thing Tetradore tended to avoid, much less the outright admittance of his feelings for another individual. Throughout the entirety of his life, caring for another being was merely opening himself to a world a hurt - and so, for so long, he had kept such thoughts to himself. This time, however, he found his head bobbing ever so slightly, that word a sweet whisper on his lips. "I do, very much." It was, in fact, that very admittance that caused Tetradore to continue forward, informing Henry that he knew well of his discontent. That soft sigh from Henry's lips caused that frown to increase ever so slightly, hardly diminishing even in spite of that joke of bare skin. It was that simple fear that preoccupied Henry's thoughts, however, that caused his own eyebrows to furrow. Perhaps....there was something he could do. "Maybe...we should work on your shifting with him. If your feral side comes to recognize him as yours, it won't attack him. I've seen it in Raven. We would only work on it when I'm there. I promise you I'd keep him safe but...you have to be ready to do it. That is...if you want." It was an idea, at the very least, though whether or not Henry was willing to trust him in that regard, however, was something else entirely.
