not at all :) thanks for joining! sorry, he's a bit pissy lol

he wandered without a destination in mind, quietly observing his surroundings and pausing every once in a while to sniff at a random clump of bushes that held a stranger scent than the others. hawthorn knew that his tendencies were stranger than that of a normal child, but he didn't care - they were boring, his siblings with their obsessions with playing and playing and playing. didn't they want to know more about the place they were living in? didn't they want to know more about everything in general? or perhaps he was just gone too often to see them when they were learning. again, hawthorn didn't care. or he just felt that he didn't care, these days, he wasn't that sure about what he was feeling anymore.

it was peaceful. and then his older sister appeared. right in front of him. hawthorn stopped and peered at her through bright blue eyes. he determined that it was his other sister, not rose, but the one that always seemed to be fighting with his other brother, or doing other random things that didn't help promote her image in his mind. not that it should matter, because hawthorn thought less of every one of his siblings, but he felt that he didn't know her that well, and was therefore rather cautious around her. she spoke then, tail wagging, questions erupting from her maw one after another.

hawthorn waited until she'd finished, before staring straight into her eyes with his own unnerving blue ones. "why do you ask?" he asked bluntly, not knowing why she wanted to know in first place. "you snuck after me...to find out where i was going?" there was a bit of a scoff when he uttered the last sentence, because he found it bewildering that instead of following after him quietly and knowing where he was going, without hawthorn himself knowing that she knew, she was asking him and therefore making it known that she wanted to know where he was going. it sounded a bit muddled up when he said it that way, but it made sense to him in his head, and that was all that mattered.
