[/size][/blockquote]The authoritative yet calm voice of the alpha floated into the dens, sending a shiver down Kadhi's spine. Instantly his eyes snapped up to catch the gaze of Xinelil, his own expression filled with fear and failure. The gaze he met was one of calm patience, that of a level headed leader in a time of great stress. It should have been reassuring to the small brute. Instead, in the midst of a mental breakdown Kadhi only found the calm to be eerie and disheartening.
As quickly as he'd risen his gaze he dropped it again. His tail was tucked snugly between his legs, his eyes cast down upon his paws. Auds were flat against his skull as he briefly glanced at Jay, watching the pup apologize before drifting back into dream land. Amber orbs then traveled to the somewhat nervous movements of Syren. She seemed to have the right idea, bolting from the chaos. Maybe they all needed to get away from the dens for a while. The Arabian couldn't run though. His heart wouldn't let him. All he could do was stand there, his head hung in shame.
"But I failed ya, boss," he murmered so quietly that had the dens not been nearly silent the words would have been missed. That's exactly how he felt. The one time he had actually been trusted, he'd failed. Kadhi was an independant fellow; he lived his life fending only for himself. Then he'd gone and found himself a pack, a home, a family. That family actually liked and respected and trusted him, for the most part. And now... Now he'd gone and let them all down. They had all been relying on him and he'd failed. Absolutely and utterly failed.
Kadhi had never been in such a position before. Before Aldgar, it had just been him and his parents. The Arabian had been such a spoiled pup that more often than not he got away with just about anything. He'd been sheltered from tragedy and the true, dark ways of the world. Now it had all been dumpped on his head in one fell swoop, burying him in such a deep hole that he had no clue how to even begin digging himself out.
ooc: I apologize for the crappy post. It seems I don't know what to do with poor Kadhi...
