The sudden ache of their loss hit him, again, as it had a hundred times before. It was a painful weight to bear, and seeing the sudden hurt in Ara's gaze was even more jarring. He hadn't ever gotten close to his siblings.. he'd left when he was still young, and he had changed since then. Steel didn't know how to comfort her, or if she needed comforting at all, but it seemed like Novel's presence was enough to keep her grounded despite the tears that had escaped down her pale cheeks. She didn't elaborate on her grief. Instead, she informed him they were still living where they had been when he'd initially gone south with their parents, and he was welcome to join them. His gaze shifted, to Faria's gentle stare. Did he want to go back there? In a way, he'd built a life with Faria, though the addition of her friend Mithras was a bit disconcerting to him. But leaving her was a possibly he hadn't even considered, not unless she asked him to, and not until now. His brows pulled together in quiet thought. 'I don't know what I will do," he told them - all of them - after a long moment of silence. "I'll have to think about it. And talk to Faria." His mind swarmed with thoughts and possibilities, none of which seemed to fit the idea he'd had for his life. The man would shrug as an afterthought, before slipping forward to embrace Ara finally. He was her brother, even if he didn't know her well - and she certainly didn't know the man he had become. But he wouldn't cry, and instead would let her sniffle into his coat before pulling away again. It felt like a dark cloud had come over him then. He didn't want to socialize now, only to brood, alone. To figure out whether he would leave Ara again, to not go back to his nephews and possibly his other siblings, or to stay with Faria and Mithras.. and whoever else they might meet along the way. "I'll find you soon," he said with a soft sigh, before moving and slipping into the dense fog - unsure if Faria would follow him. - exit Steel - |
