Ouroboros Spine so long gone

In his face there was still sadness. Ajei could see it there. It hurt her heart to see it, and her ears drooped a bit, but he did try and give her a smile. That was some effort, wasn't it. More than he could have done. 

Her tail wagged behind her and she couldn't quite hide the sheepish smile. Her own father, hadn't taught her as much as her mother or Sun man had. He had been present, but not wholly there. She just believed her own father a bit sad himself.

Ajei smiled. Only because we were taught well. What do you plan to do with your day, Sun Man? Can I help you in anyway?

 She wasn't sure how, but she was willing to try for her dearest's father and one she held much esteem and care for herself.

She looked around. She sadly didn't know the sister of the brothers, she had been gone  long before Ajei had fully integrated herself into their life. She remembered her fleeting, quiet. But she was gone. She knew it bothered the brothers and the parents, but it was a bit like Mojag, wasn't it. She would come back maybe some day? Right?
