The Sunspire weather-beaten in a losing battle

There hadn't been enough time for him to form any kind of attachment to this pack or these mountains, but it had offered some much needed stability—something that had been lacking from his life lately. So he wasn't so much sad to see it end, but more like worried about being without a home yet again. He felt like every time he tried to move on and become stronger than the scared child he had been so far, the universe kept shoving him down.

His cousin's call pulled him from his anxious thoughts. At least there was one constant in his life—the thought both comforted and terrified him; he was afraid the universe would take his only remaining family, too, especially if he got too used to Merrit being in his life. Regardless of his worries, Kallik respected him and would not make him wait too long for his call to be answered. 

He tracked him down and trotted quietly over to him, sitting down and offering a quick nod in greeting. He assumed there was a reason he was called here, and so he waiting silently for Merrit to speak.
