Barrow Fields swiggity swooty

After being unceremoniously hauled away from whatever he and Reyes had been doing, Dragomir followed Vercingetorix in irascible silence. His obedience was the result of the tempest whirling away behind his breastbone; these changes were happening far too quickly and far too frequently for his comfort. He wished they had just stayed in Diaspora, where they were safe and well taken care of. Now not only was Aurë bloodied once more, but Vercingetorix was, too. He was old enough now to know irresponsibility when he saw it. Dragomir didn't understand the why behind any of it and was finding it very hard not to scream.

He remained silent until they reached the forest and Vercingetorix looked down at him. That expression on his father's face was met with the screwing up of his son's mouth and a lash of his tail. He seemed older than his three-and-a-half months when he responded with a cold and honest, sorry's not good enough. Where was mother? Where was Isilmë? Dragomir thought they'd been right behind them, but... of course, their distracted dam had likely led Isi somewhere to show her something or other. Maybe she had gone off to get hurt some more, she seemed to like doing that. He was livid with his mother and how she left them behind for that, but he hoped she would bring his sister back sooner than later. Isilmë was the only wolf in his entire family who hadn't disappointed him.

You left us for that and then you just drag us away again? I thought you were tryin' to find us a home and you were gonna make it better, he pointed out, not bothering to hide the accusation in his deepening voice as he curled his lip and bared his teeth. Mother dragged us away from Diespor and left us with some weirdo and you found us and took us home so we could just leave again like we left Diespor and she could go get hurt again and you could go get hurt too? Bristling, Dragomir growled, Why? He couldn't handle much more instability in his life, particularly at the paws of those who should have been his role models. So far all he knew was what it meant to be dishonest and disloyal.
