he mimicked his sister's movements, coming to rest just beside her as he faces the sky belly-up. the mention of home caused a flood of emotions to swirl within, nausea that was not linked to sickness and yet it was there all the same. he did not regret his choice in leaving the mountain, but it was not without the days where he missed his home and those upon it.
he wanted to say they should send word of their safety, because surely their family was worried, surely there was a search for them! but the words never left his suddenly dry mouth, it was only a gentle hum to the brightest star pointed out in the ever stretching void of the night sky.
after a moment he gave a lick to his chapped lips and rolled to face the figure of his sister, a soft "maggak," the first of his voice. "i am glad i have you. i do not think i would be me without you and i-" he paused as a million thoughts raced through his mind. and i wish we could be together forever — but he knew that to be a childish dream. "i just want you to know i love you." he knew she knew this, but he could not recall the last he'd said it to her.
he did not know the next time he'd see his mothers and part of him wished he had told them how much he loved them too before leaving.
