Welcome to Gaia! ::

*He stayed right behind Eecheb, having enjoyed the merry little chase that had ensued after a single playful surprise attack. It wouldn't be long before they reached the tower and he wasn't planning to do anything else besides just following the scared boy through the Citadel. If anything, he might take a short nap at the base of the tower before worrying about what to do next*

Yuri blinked suddenly as his charm went off, alerting him to the presence of possible danger around the boy from earlier. He blinked as he sensed it out, his charm indicating that the boy was in no real danger, merely in a panicked state for some reason or other. He ignored the boy for several minutes, hoping the panic would die away, however it continued to grow steadily as Yuri sighed softly to himself. Remembering Sho and Thanatos' position, he took off in a blur, heading off to the citadel at top speed...

A few moments later, as the boy had begun to circle around the citadel, wolf still right behind him, Yuri arrived. He could kind of understand why the boy was so afraid, even if it was clear the wolf was only being playful. With a sigh he leapt down from his position on the rood and landed between the wolf and the boy, his tattered cloak billowing around him slightly as though to say the wolf would not pass him....

Orias had been repairing his lair and cleaning up the surrounding area for quite some time now, and it had given him some time to reflect on the past. After freezing over the last few bits of his new lair, he decided to go for a walk and find the one that was sending out all the annoying telepathic messages. He recognized who they were from.

"Well then...looks like I'll finally have another battle on my hands then."

He walked in the general direction of where the lifeform was, along the inside of the barrier, pulsing his bone-chilling aura in hopes that he would react to it.

Orias stopped walking once he was spoken to. He cocked a brow and responded telepathically.

"What the hell do you want now? I thought we were already clear that I didn't want to see you again. Did my attempt at killing you not make that clear the last time?"

He tapped his foot impatiently; his black cloak and long silver hair flowing in the wind. The ground beneath him seemed to freeze as he stood there.

*the wolf completely ignored Yuri and went to jump over him like any other object in the way. Standing at 6 feet tall, it wouldn't be hard for the wolf to jump high enough and clear the cloak. If there was anything else that was going to stop the the wolf, it would have to happen fast or Yuri would have to get in the way again.*

*Unless the cloak absorbed the momentum of the wolf or gave ground, Yuri wouldn't be on his feet much longer. As for tripping the wolf up, it was enough to stop him from continuing the chase and it did change the focus of his playfulness. Landing on all 4 paws even with the force of the cloak trying to keep them tangled, the wolf traveled a fair distance just sliding and trying to stop since his running had been inhibited. When he did stop, he turned and sniffed at the cloak around his hind legs, trying to figure out what manner of creature he was dealing with. Being big enough to bite a man nearly in half, it was a small wonder anyone would jump in his way to begin with.*

Strangely enough, the cloak would merely seem to extend away from Yuri as the wolf skidded away, leaving Yuri to continue looking at the wolf boredly. His cloak by this point had grown to the point where it extended several meters around him in wispy tendrils, the ones around the wolf's legs still holding firm as Yuri watched it calmly. Seeing the wolf had now started to pay attention to him he smiled slightly. Yes, this wolf was bigger than he was, and quite impressive to boot. However, he had faced far larger creatures during his travels with minimum problems thanks to his new found powers. As such, he wasn't particularly intimidated by the wolf, no matter how big it was...
