Ravensblood Forest My heart is Home with you

Dakarai had been lost in thought and the sudden sound of Arturo startled him, causing a near curl of his lips. It was partially due to the thoughts that had been running around in his mind, so he instantly dipped his head "I am deeply sorry, you startled me I meant no offense"  he apologized quickly before lifting his gaze and casting a glance at the tree once more before speaking again.

" The sap looks like blood. I never noticed until..." His voice drifted off and he flattened his ears " I did not know her so I understand that I have no place to grieve, but she was supposed to be..to be family. That means everything to me, and I am saddened that she had to go the way she did." His voice was hoarse with many different emotions. Grief, fear, anger all of them showed in his voice and posture. 


" I feel like everyone believes that I joined merely for Olive, but that isn't so sir. I wanted a home, people to care for and be cared for in return. And almost upon my very arrival someone is killed." He said shaking his head slowly.  He felt guilty with no logical reason to verify that troubling emotion.
