Hushed Willows Captain Amerus

Captain shrugged. "There isn't much I can actually say, to be honest. Everything continued like normal after you left... I guess we were all just too focused on survival to truly lose ourselves in the loss of you and York." She shuddered. No matter how many times she believed that their family had lived to the best of their ability, it always felt as though they had never quite reached a comfortable state in their life. Something was always happening that off-balanced the scale one way or another. "When news of the famine traveled to Sun River Valley, we all thought of you. Thought of all the painful deaths a wolf like you might endure." Captain paused as the memories flooded back. It wasn't like she would just crumble beneath their weight, but it took time to realize the breadth of everything and it often made her halt and take a moment to compress it all.

     "None of us expected it to travel so far as to reach our home, Stark. So when it did, we were just prey for the hunting. The effects were slow and hard to notice at first. By the time we realized what was happening, the worst was upon us." She sighed. "I should have tried to form some sort of pact with the effected individuals. I'm sure Banner and I could have somehow herded everyone to a safer location where we could have gotten a grip on ourselves. Unfortunately, many of the wolves became hostile. Hunger had changed so many of the people I thought we knew. Banner and I were forced out of our own home. Do you realize how embarrassing that is? Just because I couldn't just control myself?" She stopped bantering, shaking her head and trying to push away the negativity. Instead, she resumed a positive expression, struggling to lighten the mood. She nudged her brother playfully. "But I got here, didn't I? I know Banner will find us. She's strong, and independant."
