it's over, i'm through
I saw you standing there and I knew I'm done for
A warm chuckle left Tetradore's lips at the very notion of Malia's comparison of the French to house cats. He was certain Matteo would enjoy the analogy, even if he might present the idea with a glimpse of indignation.
He easily allowed that topic to shift towards Raven and her significant other. That confirmation that Tobias was indeed her mate, however, only seemed to prompt a glimpse of thoughtfulness upon the young girl's features. That comparison of Tobias and himself, however, caused his eyebrows to furrow as his head slowly tilted to the side.
Tetradore's eyebrows slowly rose as Malia continued to speak, the girl taking the moment to inform him of everything that had occupied her life of late - from the destruction of the Ark to new found friends and, of course...Henry. He had known, naturally of their continual closeness, only recently learning the true extent of it. The very idea of taking his vector to meet Frost, however, prompted some measure of thought within the were-King. After all, he was protective of his creation. Nor had it failed to occur to him that it was almost a metaphorical meeting of Malia's father-like-figure, of sorts. He might have thought more into it had Malia not also mentioned Henry's boyfriend in near the same breath. The relationship between the trio would, he was sure, forever remain a mystery to him. Still, he held some measure of reluctance at saying yes. Though Frost and himself had established a peace, of sorts, there was a part of the man that still bristled at the idea of Henry finding a sort of fondness for the other Alpha. Maybe it was still that possessiveness over him? Maybe he simply didn't want Henry of all people to prefer Frost over himself? Whatever it was, Tetradore was quick to squash those feelings, instead simply providing them his blessing of sorts, brief and veiled though it was. That thought of 'meeting the parents' however, only once again crossed his mind at the notion of that new man within her life and yet, the were-King found himself constantly gauging those men that surrounded Malia for reasons he hardly wished to dwell on either.
Any attempts to move the conversation beyond himself, however, ultimately failed as that topic passed back towards Tetradore, prompting an almost internal mulling as he considered the answer he might provide her. He was certain she was hardly prepared for the truth of the darkness that his world consisted of. If she was even capable of comprehending it. That story was one he rarely spoke of, one very few knew the extent of and yet, the moment they did was the exact same moment their views of the were-King changed, every single time. He almost abhorred the thought of Malia reacting any way similar to his own sibling, much less the fae woman he had once called his girlfriend. The very idea of it was enough to return him to that silence. Instead, the were-King tossed that blanket over his shoulder, informing the young woman of a new were he himself had recently come across. Feisty, he was sure, paled in comparison to the truly fiery wolverine. That suggestion of them meeting, however, caused Tetradore's head to bob in ready agreement.
Tetradore only continued, uttering of the upcoming car show that truly had interest the man of late. His description, however, seemed to fall entirely flat, prompting a glimpse of consideration within the girl. Her attempt to summarize it caused his head to shake ever so slightly.
