Hushed Willows ho-ho lunges for the pie.

He was soon grateful that she took his awkwardness with an accepting sort of grace, and they seemed to reach an understanding there that this was.. this was something different. But he had to focus on taking it all in, and piecing together the timeline of his family where he knew his had gone off separately. It was odd to think about suddenly, and even with the more he knew, it still felt strange to him.

At least it hadn't sounded bad for his family, even without him. He knew he should be happy for them and plus, he had new siblings and his parents were safe with his mother in a respected position right where she belonged. That's all.. pretty understandable.. he replied, though it did make him sad to picture his parents aging. Yet, it was an achievement to reach that right in the first place too. It wasn't bad news, just life.

But he hadn't missed that she said she would head there next. That fact did bring something out of him and he shifted himself uneasily. If.. if you do go back to them, will you tell them I am here? It's called Elysium now. I don't know if forever. Qilaq and I needed a place to rest.. still do, I think, he glanced away. He did, even if he couldn't entirely speak for his mate right here and now. Maybe she did too and rightfully so, he didn't know if they would wander again any time soon. Where is that forest? Will you tell them too.. that I regretted not going with them more than once..? I survived, but.. I don't know. Again, he could barely look at her and he felt bad about it as his words shrunk. Maybe he could've been in her life better, not abandoned here alone with Tambourine in the dead of winter. It would have been much different.
