Moonspear You can count on me

For awhile, Arrluk was quiet. It might have been stifling to Ajei, who worried what thoughts might be in Arrluk's head and what words may come out there after. To Arrluk, it was a moment of peace. One he had not had in the days which passed after the summons pet everyone know more of his family had gone missing. 

Ajei was right though. His sister was an adult and, like many others in his pack, came and went freely. Most of the time, it wasn't because they were missing but because they had chosen to leave on their own accord. Arrluk just hoped his little niece had trailed on after her mother when she noticed she was heading out of Moonglow. 

Your right. He finally then said, pulling more closely into her. I know you are... His words trailed. It was just- hard. And he felt lost in his mind and his words trapped. Unable to put them together to explain how all he felt and he appreciated Ajei so, knowing he didn't have to when he was with her.
