HEARTFELT PROMISES { .:*・°☆ } ——— [size=10pt]TAGS

Days had passed since he first met Stryker and even though the visits were few and far between so he wouldn't raise suspicion, he found it harder and harder each time to find the willpower to trek back and forth from the Typhoon and the Pitt to see the lion, especially in a body as frail as this one. Today was no different, a rare occasion where the coast was clear enough for Marcellus to be able to sneak off without raising too much suspicion, the Privateer taking his steps outside of Typhoon territory and making his way through the lands. At the pace he was going, a snail would be able to pass by him and make it to the Pitt with the sun still high compared to him. With the sun slowly beginning to go down, Marcellus began to pick up his pace despite the lack of energy he was feeling whilst his limp leg made this journey all the more complicated. Soon the heat he was used to back at the island had completely disappeared, replaced with a heavy cold chill that sent a shiver down his spine and caused his jaws to lightly chatter. Every gust of wind made more and more of a struggle.

Finally it the moon had slowly been peeking its way out, sun slowly disappearing behind the distant mountains all the while dirty began to fade into pure desert sand. "Finally." He grumbled to himself, releasing a low huff as he began to stalk his way to the border. For cover he would hide in anything he could find as his small size gave him some advantages, though the white spots on his body did more harm than it did good if any to be perfectly honest. Marcellus could hear the sound of pawsteps making their way towards his location before fading once more into the distance, his head peeking out from behind the dying bush to reveal his fullbody. He was still hesitant when it came to coming to the Pitt border and he couldn't help but feel unease, but he would bear it as he would lie by the border, curling his tail to his side as he waited for the lion. His biggest concern was Luca finding out through their bond, but he tried his hardest to fill his head with other thoughts to drown out those about the Pitt and Stryker.
