it's over, i'm through

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

All he had required was fifteen extra minutes of silence from the deviant to finish that slew of paperwork that had come across his desk. Taxes were, by far, his least favorite aspect of running a business and yet, numbers peculiarly made sense to him, even if most of such work was left to Raven in an effort to allow the girl that desire to feel useful. Why she seemed so determined to involve herself in every aspect of his establishment, he scarcely knew and yet, he saw no reason to complain. When his childhood friend's antics got in the way of finishing those final bits, however, Tetradore had been reduced to all but ordering the man out of his room - leaving him in blissful silence. His signature was placed on the final page in front of him, that ink flowing with peculiar grace on the page before his emerald eyes turned upwards. He had finished that mundane job just with just enough time too - how convenient. A soft sigh left his lips as Tetradore leaned back in his chair, stretching out his figure for one sweet moment before the man rose. Rumors had been floating around of late - rumors of a shipment set to come into the harbor in just a few moments. While that, in itself, was hardly peculiar, it was the simple fact that the shipment was for Hunters that had prompted Tetradore's desire to oversee its arrival.

It was well known that the West was his territory. His pack had carved out a sizeable chunk of the Docks for themselves and with such an exchange happening so close to the Ark, even Tetradore had to admit some level of weariness. He moved with purpose through the labyrinth of the large, renovated cargo ship. Those twists and turns well known to the man by now, at least, here. The depths of the cargo ship, however, were another matter entirely. A soft yawn left his lips as Tetradore stepped out into the warm noonday sun. How tempting it was to merely curl up on the deck of the large boat and simply sleep. If only there weren't responsibilities to see to! Nevertheless, the man made his way through the abandoned warehouses and high stacked cargo containers, picking his path with care to bring him upon the very meeting with some resemblance of a vantage point. He moved with ease up the stairs of one of the large cranes, only to pause at the landing halfway up. The Were-King leaned against the banister, content to merely look down at the unloading of cargo further down the dock. He could hardly help that sigh as he leaned his cheek against his hand and yet, his interest in those Hunters hardly lasted long before movement to the side of the congregation so caught his attention.

From his position, Tetradore was afforded a rather decent view of the surrounding area, that wealth of unruly brunette locks was near unmistakeable and yet, it was the petite child beside his best friend that prompted a furrow in Tetradore's brows. He remembered the child from Isolt's dinner and yet, what the pair were doing together baffled him entirely. Tobias was not well known for getting along with children. Or perhaps he was fine getting along with children and it was everyone else that disliked it. Frankly, he wasn't sure either which way but, he was keenly aware of that pair of hunters that had peeled off from the main group to intercept them. It was a shame Tobias hadn't noticed them from behind him. With the rest of the group of Hunters so close, and with Tobias having a child beside him of fae descent, he could hardly merely let the pair face that threat alone, even if Tobias' mere existence would surely be enough to make them hesitate. This was, he was certain, about to be far more trouble then it was worth.

A soft huff left Tetradore's lips as he made his way back down to street level, his own steps decidedly swift as he made his way down those rows of cargo containers. From here, those stacks seemed almost looming as they towered upwards in such neat rows. His emerald eyes fell upon those pair of hunters several feet from his own Beta, with the blonde fae clutching desperately to Tobias' leg. It was clear, from the squatting form of one of those hunters that they were trying to coax Maeve into...well, something. His arms crossed over his chest as Tetradore paused at his best friend's side, his own presence would surely be enough to cause those Hunter's to pause. The odds were far more even now and yet - to attack the Alpha of the West would surely bring upon them far more consequences. "She's staying with us. Your business here is over - get out of my territory." Tetradore stated quite firmly, that authority of his role as Alpha surely evident within his tone as his emerald eyes glared as those Hunters, entirely determined to ensure they knew exactly what they would be getting into if they lingered unnecessarily within his part of the city.
