Moonspear words are weapons

Although there was hurt and anger bubbling within Floki, it stayed just below the surface. Charon, however, was much more explosive; he wasted no time in letting Tevinter know just how he felt. Floki winced visibly as Charon started to yell, though he soon found confidence in his brother's words. He was right -- why hadn't Tevinter's new parents tried to find his real family? Obviously, a pup that washed up from the ocean came from somewhere.

But at the end of the day, that was all in the past. There was nothing that any of them could do to change that. Some of the fight went out of Tevinter momentarily, as he admitted that he was wrong to accuse Floki and Charon of not trying to find him. Floki, too, relaxed, though his tail remained rigid and he still hadn't moved to close the gap between himself and his twin. He hadn't said anything since Charon's outburst and Tevinter's equally heated reply, instead absorbing all of the information and internalizing it.

He continued to listen as Tevinter blamed the bear for his transformation, then mentioned that this impromptu reunion had come about simply because he was training to become an outrider. Floki hesitated before responding; even though it had been months since they had seen each other, there was obviously still some sort of connection between them. Both were interested in the scouting trade; both could still acknowledge that they were each other's other half. He sighed.

"We've all changed," he said stiffly. It was true; otherwise, he and Charon would still be stuck at Stavanger Bay, struggling to survive as winter drew nearer. Things had to change in order for life to progress, he knew...but this was more painful somehow. He licked his lips, one ear tilting towards Charon and the other remaining focused on Tevinter. "I'm an outrider, too," he finally replied; though he didn't say it outright, he was agreeing with what had already been said. Nothing really feels right without you.
