Shrike would give a small nod as Lark spoke again. Be himself... Just be the energetic ball of fur he was. Perhaps talk to Bass as well too. To not know what to do... That was okay? To not necessarily be anything specific... He would close his eyes, considering that. Maybe it really was okay. Just wanting to be there for your family could easily be enough for them.
Shrike would not answer his brother when he said that he wasn’t weak, but when the question turned on him, followed by another, Shrike felt sure that he knew the answer. “Well of course not. I’m sure father would act... I guess it was just more of a matter of when.” Shrike would give a soft sigh. “I guess the real question is if I’m ready to go. They were our family, like you said. I... I want to avenge them, brother.”
