Stone Circle good-bye, but not forever

Ezra wasn’t as sad as he thought he’d be when he heard the howl, but then again that didn’t really come as a surprise to him. He had never been as close with his elder siblings as he had been with his littermates, and so he could only imagine that Nikai’s departure from home would be a whole lot easier than Clary and Nanook’s. Of course he’d still miss the seeing that freckled face around the territory, but it wasn’t like this would be a life changing goodbye for him.

He showed up just after his mother, a small frown clearly engraved on his face. It was difficult for him to say the words, and so he didn’t, simply offering a bump to Nikai’s shoulder instead. Once he had finished saying his silent farewell, Ezra moved to comfort his mother in anyway he could, even if it meant just being a shoulder to cry on.
