"Talk" Walk The gulls called overhead, mingling with the sounds of the ocean as the waves touched the shore. The day was warm, and not overbearingly so. Ignis decided that he would spend the day with each of his kids, in turn, to try and get his mind off of Eden. He had been searching nonstop over the course of several days, stopping back at the pack every night to check in on his kids instead of being gone indefinitely as he had done with his first litter. He wouldn't make that mistake again. But he was growing weary in his searching, wasn't sure where else to look without marching North and straight to Armada's doorstep. He assumed Azure had something to do with it...hell, why wouldn't he? Azure had seen Eden protecting Sparrow and her pups the day he trespassed on Pirate lands, and had gone out of his way to attack the red wolf while he had been sitting there minding his own business! He growled, but tried to shake it all off as Rivin came into view. He needed to keep a calm facade for their sake...

At first Rivin tried to pretend like she didn't care that Eden and Baelfire were missing. But the longer they were gone it was really starting to get under her skin. Rivin started to play less and less, scanning the beach for her mother and wayward brother. It bothered her. That possessive nature she had, just like her father, Ignis, demanded that she somehow find them and bring them home to where they belonged. She didn't have a name for that feeling yet… but she could feel it burning deep within her. She started to get more angry at their disappearance. They were supposed to be here! How could they not? A loud huff escaped the girl's lips as she passed on the beach below the gulls. She had given up playing earlier that morning. She had tried but it was hard. Her paws led her across the sandy beach as she made her way back toward the den. She was feeling grumpy. She didn't want to think about what if her mother and Baelfire never came back. She didn't want to consider that possibility. Her tail lashed back and forth, green eyes lifting to see Ignis. She pouts at the sight of her father before rushing toward him, hoping to draw comfort from his presence. "I want them home." Rivin's voice sounded less sad and more like a spoiled child who hadn't gotten what she wanted. "They're ours. They're supposed to be here with us." She didn't even realize what she was saying, the true weight of the words, but they were honestly spoken. She curled toward her father, curling into his leg miserably. Her ears were lowered, gaze downcast as she pressed fully against him. A fear, something she hadn't even realized had been at the forefront of her mind, slipped past her lips next. "I want them home… but don't disappear looking for them, daddy." Bitter tears started to sting her eyes. "We won't lose you too. Just because they wandered off." Her emotions were weird and overwhelming. She didn't like them at all. "Talk," 'Think.'

"Talk" Walk "I want them home." Was the first thing Rivin said as she rushed towards him. "They're ours. They're supposed to be here with us." He grunted in agreement. Little did they know that Eden really did belong to him. That he had stolen her freedom prior to their birth. Before even joining the Pirates. As she curled into his leg, he sat and wrapped his foreleg around her to hug her and hold her. He hadn't been aware that their disappearance had affected them as much as it had affected him. While he was angry and bitter more than anything over this, along with concern for his son's safety more than Eden's, he knew better than to show that around his kids. His outbursts were done alone, away from prying eyes. With the exception of his companions of course, who had witnessed him taking it out on both inanimate objects and unsuspecting wolves alike. "I want them home… but don't disappear looking for them, daddy." His remaining ear perked forward as he looked down at her. Don't disappear looking for them... Heh. He wouldn't make that mistake again. "I won't leave you guys. You're my world now...I'm still going to look for Eden and your brother, but if I can't find them, then so be it." He just wished he could find some sort of closure. Either in the form that they were dead, or at least their whereabouts and if his son at least was safe. "Listen, why don't we do something. Just you and me, and get our minds off of them for a while?"

Her daddy reassured her that he wouldn’t go missing looking for her mother and brother, saying that he wouldn’t leave them. He also said he’d continue to look for her mother and brother, but if he couldn’t find them then that was that. Rivin gave a small nod, feeling at ease in Ignis’ hold. She didn’t want to think about them anymore. She wanted this to be over, she wanted closure just like her father did, even if she wasn’t able to voice it the same way he could. “Good.” The girl murmured. She wasn’t going to lose both of her parents, and now more than ever she felt fiercely protective over her family. Then her daddy mentioned the two of them doing something, just the two of them. Rivin brightened at this, her gaze lighting up as she looked up at the man. “Okay!” She brightened. “Will you help me build something I can store stuff in?” The girl tilted her head to the side. “Unless there is something like that in the boat we can find? I don’t mind if it’s made already or not. I want to be able to collect flowers… maybe we can make something where I could grow them here?” Rivin puffed out her chest a little. “I’m going to be an even better healer than mom was! That way I can take care of you, Diablo, or Aresenn after raids and stuff! And I’ll participate too, and make sure no one messes with us!” "Talk," 'Think.'
