Ankyra Sound that it has returned to dust

though scarab has a rough idea of what the word 'disbanded' meant in regards to packs the truth remains that he can't actually fathom it; if only because he's never had to experience it. in this, he is lucky, especially given the tumulus nature of rusalka itself; for now, however, it remains something he cannot sympathize with any more than the fact that velen's mate had their pups early. early? scarab repeats with a cant of his head that likely goes unseen in the shadows of the grotto. that whole matter unfortunately goes over scarab's head; but he takes from it that there are more pups in rusalka ...which meant that beyond the two others he's already known about of and his own siblings there was more competition. he's not exactly pleased by the prospect but supposes, rather cruelly, that if velen's pups are like the other two: they are insignificant to him.

would scarab have been older and more wiser he might've pressed for more information: is that enough? because he isn't and he doesn't. instead, he settles for a simple: i see.; and then eager to change the subject asks, what're you doing down here?
