Swiftcurrent Creek And i just want to be alone

Arric shifted and smiled. I wouldn't really know. Akavir's kids are really the ones i've ever gotten to know and well. Ears to his skull and he sighed. Now they are lost to us. Gosh I hope they're okay.

A sad smile and he looked outwards. He really did. Him and Niko and Jakub weren't great friends or as close as he and Mae, but he had loved them in his own way. Just as he loved his little niece who drove him mad and made him worry about her safety, both mental and physical. 

Arric chuckled. Well I can't say that I wasn't much different. But she saved Akavir's life once. Nursed him back to health and then when he came back well suffice to say life wasn't easy after that. So he owed her a debt and she reminded him I think of simplier moments. And she was loyal. I can't boast an understanding and I wouldn't dare call her and I friends. Aquaintances, pack mates, would I bleed for her just as another. Certainly, but we were not best buds.

He looked down at her with a small crooked smile. Not really. Mostly I just miss my dad. Who I roamed with. Once he died though, i was just lonely and heartbroken.

Ear thrust forward, a small thoughtful look on his face. But I wouldn't trade it either. I learned just as much on my own as I had with. And I learned that I enjoyed silence and darkness. That rivers make me feel safe, but open places make me feel funny. That forests are better equipped to hide me than an open range. I learned more about the world we live in and what inhabits it than I had years growing up. So I suppose. I don't miss the roaming, but I miss the learning.
