The Sunspire Linger of self doubt

Jace loved the Sunspire, he loved Ame, he loved his family. But he just didn't have a purpose anymore, at least he didn't feel like he did. There was something off within his own soul, and he couldn't quite place it. As if his dark fur was leeching into his soul there, and turning everything black. Jace understood the wander lust that both Ame and Vienna had, he himself had felt it a few times. However, he was a solitary wolf and preferred his own company and his own home. He took comfort in routines and disliked change imensely. 

Jace did not ask Ame how her trips had gone. Preferring ot leave those thoughts to herself. However, he knew he would have to ask her again. And if she was okay being back, he knew she was not a wolf that stayed in one place long. He could remember how long it took Ferdie to get her to stay. He remembered it well. And then despite his best intentions, Ferdie had forced her into a position where she had no way out of it, and she had to stay. It wasn't very fair, but then again Ferdie hadn't been towards the end.

Jace moved at first when Ame came, surprised at her entrance. He then however gave her a small smile and nipped her back. A strange expression on his face as he looked about him. Vienna and Sumayl left. Vienna said they'll be back, that they are just visiting his family and for her to learn herbal lore. But I find I cannot summon the hope that she will return. Then he grew quiet again and just stood still. Allowing Ame to take what she would from his limited speech.
