Tsume watched the pup as he suddenly stopped and looked down at the ground. He kept a sharp eye on the pup, still on the defense.
"..." He was silent fora minute after he relayed what Blue had told him. He could see it happening--shit, after all of the things he'd seen on both his journey, and here?
But still..
He heard a gunshot. After traveling with the humans, stealing from the fragile creatures that relied so heavily on weapons, his ears still hadn't grown dull to that piercing sound. Normally it was nothing. He'd seen death, and he didn't care. It was the cycle..things lived and died, just like his pack. But then he came up on the scene, a sense of dread already nagging at the back of his head, and he saw it. He saw Toboe, and something inside of him just.. broke.
He'd come such a long way, and not just physically. The other wolves, he was sure, could see through his facade, but he kept it up anyway. But then..over the course of time, he'd regained an inner strength that he hadn't had since the alpha of his previous pack marked him as a traitor, a coward. And through that facade, through the attempts to keep himself distant, through his attempts to protect other because he didn't trust humself, Toboe persisted, he kept him going and refused to let him give up. He believed in Tsume when he couldn't believe in himself..and for no reason. It was like he was the best god damn thing since sliced bread for some reason.
And then he just died. Shot. Killed by humans or nobles--it didn't matter, he didn't deserve it. If anything, he was the one that should've been shot. So what future was Toboe talking about? He didn't have one. Plain and simple.
"..Yeah kid, I'm from your future." He said as such on a huff, his lips still pressed in a thin line. But, he let the conversation continue, either way. "Not much..there's nothing to hunt around here, the plants aren't real and we're in another dome on an island, but there's no nobles around. There's people around here that are close enough to it, though."
