When Shrike saw Lark, trotting up to him, the young man felt a little better already. His other brother was so sure, so strong. The younger brother would jump right to the point as Lark arrived, sitting with his tail curled around his body. "Lark I need some advice." He would say softly. "I'm really at a loss brother... I don't know what to do anymore." Admitting this was far from easy, and the young man would sit with his tail curled around his paws.
"I've been at a loss since Allen has left us. I'm... not the best at learning. He was the only one who could really work with me well... " Shrike would let his gaze fall to the ground. "I'm not sure how to become a better member of the pack. To become strong enough to be worthy of the rank passed to me. It's so hard to be able to trust the other adults." Shrike would shuffle his paws.
"I'm not really sure what to do to be honest. Is it just that I'm not in the right rank? Or is it that I need to have more trust in our fellow pack mates and get to know them more?" Shrike would lift his gaze to Lark, ears flicked back somewhat. "What do you think I should do?"
