Hoshor Plains brings me 'round again

"no," she states firmly, straightening now as evergreen's anger becomes evident. she wonders why he is so concerned for her brother; it seems odd, for him to care so deeply about his thoughts, feelings; her own family's affairs. "I care for him, but I would not have brought him with me," she states. 

"I have failed too many times in search of family to drag him along on what could have been a dead end." despite knowing very little about her elusive sibling, or perhaps because, she had made the decision to go out alone; a trip that had turned into one that had no return. "why do you care so much for my brother?" she asks bluntly, wondering now if something terrible had befallen the boy, again. she'd always thought him safe here; he'd been here before her and after, too; obviously he was fond of the place and the wolves that resided here.
