IT MUST BE LONELY
when you're up there looking down
He rests much like a lazy sort of man , a bored man , but also one that's ... injured . The Teryr had laid him open deep , and even now , moving certain ways tends to lay that wound even further . Traveling to Terrastella had been against everything , and his advisor had nearly hounded him all the way to the edge of Solterra's court until Leviathan had snapped at him . The trek hadn't been easy , either , but he isn't one to idle around with injuries and mill about moping about his wounds . His scars are proof of his lifestyle , how he had lived . How he still sometimes does . He doesn't go about locking proverbial horns with everyone but he doesn't just sit his ass down on a comfortable cushion in a lavish lifestyle either .
Being a fighter , a warrior , had been all his life was about . Spitting blood out of his mouth and tempting another potshot hit . Egging them on . " That all ? " And taking another blow just to take down his opponent and stand over their body in the arenas of his past . Though now the newest wounds will scar over , and join what already pockmarks his body .
Leviathan tilts his head just slightly , to fix his glowing blue eye on Liam for a moment after speaking , watching as the realization dawns over him at his words . He knows he isn't known by his face or his voice , or how he acts . He doesn't act like a Sovereign . Large ears swivel , perked forward enough to show his attention as he listens . " I've been a ruler several times before this , but it never gets any easier , Liam . This time in particular seems ... messier . Especially being alone . " His shoulders rise and then fall again , and Enyo makes an indignant noise , digging feet and claws into his neck for a moment before burying into his mane with a low hiss of annoyance .
" Sorry . " He huffs at the Indoraptor , and she grumbles a little at him , chuffing soft before clicking and she eyes Liam next . He can feel her curiosity , and he only rolls his eye slightly at her , looking back toward Liam instead . " I was hoping to open ... a sort of partnership ? Though I'm not sure what to offer other than Solterra's help if you should need it . We have strong backs , and we have a lot of projects we've been getting underway ourselves , but should you need extra hooves , well , I can send a few here to help out ? " As he speaks , he shifts his weight . Despite his injuries , not a glance of pain registers on his face . He's had far too many years to school it into place .
