the brute of a man slithered forward with the prowess of a hunter, massive claws pulling up the satin rugs and silk curtains that adorned the hotel floors, the diamonds from the fallen chandelier nearby sparkling under the delicacy of evening light. stars above his cranium could be seen from outside of dirty windows where distilled has collected only to be swept off once more. blood crusted the floors and soaked into carpeting, some fresh some years and years old that it had turned black. he could remember his pile of herbs he placed behind the bar, it was his own space where he kept his leaves for safe storage and easy access. everyone knew him, they knew not to touch his herbs as they would never bat a pretty eye again because he'd be sure enough to pluck them out.
aloebite sat there thinking for a moment, just watching as he took a stand beside this fallen chandelier thinking and reminiscing of the past in silence, curious as to why he even left in the first place. the biggest mistake of his life. he had it all before he left. he had his children and his mate, his family. he had friends: taboa, sheogorath, rosemary, six, the rest of which he couldn't even remember now as it had been such a long time. his jaws clenched. he needs to move on and he needed to do something about it. a fresh start and a disconnection from his past in the tribe and windclan. this started with his clan-like name: aloebite. previously, he was aloe of adder's bite before he was connected to a strong of his own murders in the tribe. heh, the good ol' days.
the tom lept upon the taboa's piano chair, not sitting in the middle but on his previous spot on the side to make his call, weaponry digging within leather.
"i have an announcement to make!" his vocals were loud yet in a sense they were soft spoken but bold like marble. never obnoxious he was unless wanted to be as he was known for being lively but today he was down and he didn't know why. "i'm leavin' my name behind for a different one," he came next as a group had gathered and his words were heard. if anyone wasn't here, the word would spread soon enough. "call me aloebite and i'll have yer tail cut clean off and hung around my collar to keep me warm during leaf bare," he warned, this time his signature charming smile smothered the brute's maw as he rolled his shoulders back. of course he wouldn't cut the tail off himself, he'd have someone else do it because he never did his own dirty work, and besides he didn't like cleaning the blood from his fur as it was quite long. "i'll be known as wolfsbane," wether they wanted the reasoning behind that or not wolfsbane wouldn't mind answering.
