Darwin was never far from Elsa. So when she rose to the sound of “thief” in the midst of sleep, Darwin also rose, following quietly along the heels of Elsa as though he was some sort of lovesick puppy. His gaze on her was softened, as it always did when his eyes landed on her, especially as he remained a few paces behind – unsure if she wanted him to follow or not. However, as they approached the commotion of the thief in the woods, Antaa came crashing through the woods. Her fiery body announcing the pale newcomer’s arrival, he mentally sighed. The phoenix moved toward Edgar as he hissed, as the words finally reached Darwin’s ears.
Antaa’s goal was to soothe Edgar in his anger. Darwin’s goal was to soothe Elsa in her anger. Yet, it seemed as though the anger began to reside further in Darwin’s chest than it should have. He made his way into the gathering, dipping his head lightly to Tembovu, Alysanne, and Iona. The latter two were those he hadn’t met yet, but as he stepped up beside Elsa, he allowed his pale wing to stretch lightly and brush against her body if she’d allow it – to tell her he was here for her, and would do anything to protect her.
“It’s not my place, but there should be some sort of punishment, right?” He suggested, his voice rough and deep as it came from his dark bearded maw. His attention drifted toward Elsa, ears perked toward everyone else to hear what they had to say, but he only had eyes for the Icebound. She seemed calm and it was unsettling to the man. It was then when he realized he’d need to speak with Roskuld to learn how to better protect them – if for nothing else but for Elsa. He straightened up his posture slightly, his stone gaze smoldering beneath their usually calm demeanor as he looked to the rest of them. “Nothing too serious since she’s a child, a challenge maybe?” He questioned, his tone trying to remain calm, yet at the pace his heart was beating, he was anything but. His gaze drifting back to Elsa, wondering what kind of punishment she was willing to go for. The thing he knew is that something had to happen, otherwise thieves would continue to attempt to get within their borders.
"Talk."
Darwin
Got so much to lose, got so much to prove
God, don’t let me lose my mind.
