starter for @sentimentalscientia ft papa itsuki and mama rené
"This seems like... wolf business"
As he stands at the large, moon lit window of his study, René cannot help but voice his concerns to the alpha stood at his back. Dark eyes gazing out over the city scape before them as it hums quietly with nocturnal life, like the worries trundling through his mind.
It is not as if the vampire would ever refuse to help his mate in anything he asked, though he may complain a little, especially if it was arduous or physical, he would always be there to support him. This, however, he is not sure if he is equipped to be the best help for the man and his kind.
A rouge pack, in-fighting and fires - the reports they had received had been sparce of detail and conflicting, but something was happening and as the respected elder that he was, it fell to Itsuki to investigate, as it always seemed to. "Am I wrong just to dream of a quiet life with you?" The vampire sighs, deliberately not turning to him, for fear he would either give up all fight all together, or refuse too adamantly.
