Stone Circle No one can save you because you don't want to be saved

@Valette im gonna keep this just Sia and Val for now, I'll tag the pups when/if we are ready for more people :)

There was an emptiness inside the man. A gaping hole had taken up residence where his heart had once been. He couldn't sleep. He couldn't eat. Siarut had run out of tears long ago, instead his head simply pounded to the beat of his blood pumping. A headache raged in his skull that he just couldn't shake.

Takiyok's visit had helped, in the moment. But, even that hadn't lightened his mood. It had been a week. One week without her, and Sia was slipping. He was grateful that everyday the pups were growing less and less reliant on him. He was unimaginably paranoid, his eyes always watching. If anyone aside from Valette, or Arlette came to close to him or one of his children, Siarut snapped. Anger violently unleashed. The only thing that mattered was protecting them. His entire being was solely devoted to this purpose.

At the moment he kept a careful eye on Sela, Kallik, Taktuq and Ikiaq as they played out in the rain. The weather had been particularly gloomy all week. It was an odd comfort to him. Knowing that the weather matched his mood. He didn't want to see the sun. Siarut didn't want to be happy. He felt like he couldn't be happy without her.
