set after Themisto's death She had indeed had more tears to cry. After he took his last breath they had found her and carried her away on a river of loss. Her heart felt like it had been completely cleared of her chest, all she wanted was to bury her face into Crucifix's thick pelt. She wanted him to tell her it was okay. At the same time she would feel a deep longing for Alpine, she needed him to remind her that life went on and it was worth living. She'd abandoned him whilst being with Themisto, but in her time with the sick man she had come to realize something about Alpine she never thought she would feel. She would not dwell on him, instead she would call for her brother, more than anything she just needed his presence. He may have thought her the strongest of the Black clan, but she could have never survived with out help. Twig would crawl to the borders of Valhalla, eyes stained with tears as her voice rang out for Crucifix.? "Talk" Think "You"

He had promised her that he was no more then a call away, but the call came out more quickly then he could have surmised. There was a tinge of regret to him as he passed again from his new territory, but knew it would fine in his short absence. His sister in that moment needed him more and he was quick to make it to Valhalla territory, to be near her after what he knew could only be the death of her Themesto. He found himself at the borders of the Valhalla territory and quickly saw she had dragged herself her so he did not have to intrude upon Valhalla territory. He took her in and already could see she had fallen apart, her Themesto was clearly dead and she wasn't holding it together. He was upon her in a heartbeat. Curling himself around her form, holding her, pushing together all the broken pieces of her heart and soul as best as he knew how.



?Im here now? he soothed and promised her after all of himself was wound and wrapped about her. He drew her into him, held her, hugged her and tried to envelop her world. She did not need to speak, he knew exactly what had happened, if not the details themselves. He knew that Themo was lost to them, but that was not good enough for Twig to be lost to them. Nothing in the world would take his sister from him. He did not expect her to make any decisions now, about staying or coming with him he would never impose them upon her. No, all he did was held her, whispered in her ears and rocked her gently with his entire body. He expected nothing from her, except for her heart and soul to not leave him completely.

"Speech"
'thoughts'

She would sulk in the brown grasses of Valhalla's edge waiting for her brother's appearance. Tears falling from her eyes as she would begin to learn what the world would be like with out Themisto's sunny gaze. Time had seemed to stop, she didn't know how long she was laying there before she would register that Crucifix had arrived. Her senses had become cloudy and would barely register as his form curled around her. He would soothe her and hold her as she felt herself become limp. So void of acknowledgement to what was going on around her. She would whimper sadly, not willing to move or say anything. She felt so hollow now, so empty and... Alone. Barely would she feel him rocking her, she could hardly recognize her own consciousness. What was this world with out the sunny eyed care free healer? She would whine again, her grip loosening from her brother and barely gripping to life itself.?
