Greatwater Lake The broken and the lonely ones

With an echo of a pounding in his head remaining from his dangerous trans-dimensional journey Damien sought his mate. He had slept for an unnaturally long time that day and woke with a feeling of anxiety that he couldn't seem to shake off. It reminded him of the cold and the loneliness he felt in the void, filled with emptiness and desperation like he'd never felt before, but as he walked down the lakeshore the silhouette of the rest of his gang brought him a mild, yet soothing feeling.

still no sign of him? was the first thing he thought of asking as he approached the trio from behind. Vaati was a key part of the plan and without him Damien felt they would be severely crippled. But he knows his nephew is a wild card and has enough patience to allow him to arrive at his own time. For now they would scout and settle somewhere safe, and whenever he came to them the real action could begin. As he joined the group Damien eyed Aries, with whom he had to talk with about many things, but went straight to caress the soft fur behind the ear of his lover with his nose.
