[glow=#000,1,400]BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND YOU, AND I WILL NOT BE PART OF YOUR DESIGNS — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]
Halo? It was an interesting, but simple name, bringing to mind not only visions of creatures like him, winged creatures with golden halos around their heads, as well as the halos that travelled slowly around a massive planet's in the cosmos, made up of both suffocating gas and the fragments of not only meteorites but a wide variety of various space junk. Both things that sprang to mind had such an immense power and ornate aura to them, and Worm couldn't help but wonder if this newcomer lived up to her impressive namesakes. He couldn't quite tell yet, with the way she seemed to be processing all of the information coming her way at breakneck speeds. He wasn't absolutely sure, but she definitely seemed as though she was kissing certain things that were said, probably as a result of recovering from the trap she had just been caught in. All he could really hope was that whatever she missed was inconsequential, and not something like a name or information about joining.
Speaking of which, when she mentioned wanting to join, a soft smile came to his muzzle, and he dipped his head to her before rumbling softly, sounding both kind, welcoming, and tired all at the same time. Preparing for the raid had left a toll on him, and while things were finally beginning to look up for his everyday life and relationships, particularly the one that he had with his brother, things were definitely also tiring, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"Well, you're certainly welcome to join us here. My name is Wormwood, but most people around here just call me Worm since that's a bit long."[/glow] At the question of who Beck was, the lion snorted and shook his head in fond amusement, mumbling as he sat back on his haunches, nudging gently at the net that had ended up collapsing on top of her earlier, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"Beck is our resident ghost here in Tanglewood, and he used to be leader around here. The first one in fact, I think. He's the one who set up all the traps around here, including the one you just fell prey to. If you want anybody to show you around to where all of them are, well... nobody except Beck could probably tell you. I'm sure you'll get a chance to meet him eventually."[/glow] As he said that, there was a soft ache of sadness in his chest as he thought about the male. He still hadn't seen the ghost around since Sam had been taken, and he still didn't know if the ghastly boy was returned safe to them yet.
