Blackfeather Woods We survived a week in the Brotherhood!

Hope you don't mind me take over a bit of this thread since Vas is basically a potato xD Marie, you can assume Burke went back into the den after the conflict thread and just gave her a bit of a cold shoulder.

Burke did not want to talk about what happened. He had been rather distant towards Malice, which could only go so far when you were trapped in a den. Especially Malice was, seeing that she could not leave until the pups were on solids. Bullshit. How was she going to prove herself then. It made Burke only more grim. The male had been deeply hurt, deep wounds carved into his soul. He already had been distant with sharing what he was feeling and even when he opened up they still called him a traitor and what not. He felt betrayed.

He should have left, but the only reason he stayed was because he didn't want to amuse Kove with the fact that he would leave his 'family' behind again. Plus there was still Kendra. His daughter who had not turned against him, yet also hadn't shown up yet. The male wanted to keep everyone at a distance now, because then they couldn't hurt him. One and a half year of constant work, and how was he treated? Like shit. Burke's eyes opened. He had not really been sleeping, just resting. Sleep could not come to him with such things going through his mind.

He eyed at Malice and how she picked up the bigger pup, revealing the tiny black thing. Burke was skeptical Pyro was even going to make it. Though Malice had enough to endure from the brotherhood. Burke's pale eyes were distant and clearly hurt. Even the sight of his sons couldn't enthuse him. Burke turned his head away and shifted to his other side, half turning his back to Malice, which might give off the wrong impression. He did not hate her, he was just angry at himself, thinking how he could be so stupid to even think that the three he called his own had turned against him. Nemesis was just a stupid minion and Kove was even worse. Burke couldn't believe how he could have been so stupid. A glare came on his face with that thought. The male looked so bitter and conflicted, possibly even making him look older.
