Henry Tudor
the beast within
Henry was a little overwhelmed with how many people showed up for this meeting. He hadn't met everyone gathered but he knew a few familiar faces. He supposed in time he might get a chance to get to know everyone that had gathered.
His thoughts were interrupted by Tobias, his child-like voice filling his head. Blue eyes turned to address the leopard when he asked if he wanted to play video games with the other males in the pack. Henry couldn't remember the last time he had played video games. Surely it had been when he was a young boy, before he had gotten into drugs, alcohol, and women. Back when he was a kid, they played on a Nintendo set or maybe a Sega. What did they even play on now? "I'd like that." While he was certain that he would not be very good at video games, at least he would be able to spend some quality time with Tetradore and Tobias. He had always said he wanted to get to know the beta a little better.
His eyes moved then to Raven, watching her as she came up to them with the intent to rub the tiger's scent all over them. At first, Henry's reaction was to shy away. He didn't know this tiger. In fact, he'd never seen her before in his life. He hadn't been told she was pack. So in essence, he was only going to protect his turf. He might have done so if Tetradore had seemed a little more territorial. But instead, he seemed a little irked, asking if she intended to stick around this time. Perhaps she was pack after all. He felt the bond, but he was still learning about what he could and could not trust.
Eyes were drawn quickly to the display of affection between Mira and Tetradore. He wished he could share this part of himself with Sterling. Unfortunately, Sterling was not a were and his panther was not exactly kind around his boyfriend. He was very open about his relationship with the man. Henry was off the market and he would be quick to correct anyone who said otherwise â€" even Raven who felt as though his panther was quite attached to Malia. The coyote was important to him, yes, but he did not love Malia like he loved Sterling.
But, this was not the time for silent reflection. He had new pack members to meet. Already he had eye contact with the one named Mira. Perhaps he would get to know her better in due time. But the tigress, she was a strange face to him. He slowly stood and began to slowly work his way down the gangplank and towards where she was coming towards them. He paused his movements, his eyes watching her curiously. "I'm Henry." He made sure the unfamiliar wolf heard him as well. Most of the others he knew. These two were still strangers to him.
