Stone Circle Time to say goodbye

ooc: reply to keep the thread moving, if this causes any problems pm me to change it!

mourning ensued, silently and bitterly as the air became thick and heavy. krypton's tears clouded her vision as she didn't dare leave her spot. it was cruel, cruel how such a good man could be gone so quickly. he died young, too. krypton had been alive for longer than him, perhaps the oldest of the pack. if anything, she should be the dead one, not steady. he was at least worth more than she was.

aurora's small voice made the burly woman wipe her tears on her forearm before noticing the small girl to come forward. "aurora," she said slowly, as if speaking to loudly would shatter the girl, "steady isn't moving because he is dead." krypton felt herself suck in a breath sharply before trying to force herself to continue on. she deserved to know, even if she was young. she lowered her muzzle to gently graze against the top of aurora's head, a comforting thing for mainly krypton's sake. "i won't lie to you, you deserve to know."

although aurora didn't have such a tight bond with steady as the others did she was still a child and had relationships with nearly everyone here. krypon respected that and would tell her everything she wanted to know. no one deserved to be kept in the dark in situations like this. if others had a problem with it, they could talk to krypton about it later. the beastly woman then stood up somberly, motioning for the small girl to do the same and get out of the way of the other hollow wolves. the others deserved to say goodbye to their great leader. "come here, aurora, let the others see him," she said quietly.
