Endless Fire

Watery blue eyes would look up at her, staring at her long and hard before dropping his gaze again. He clenched his jaw just slightly, before sighing. That was the problem...wasn't it. "I-if it's an e-emergency..." He whispered softly, gaze distancing as he stared at the ground. "I-if it w-were you...o-or Finch...or father, l-lark...shrike...Aunt Harmony, anyone I l-love a-and cherish, a-and I make a m-mistake..." He voice caught in his throat then, and he closed his mouth with a click! of teeth. He pulled in a shuddering breath, closing his eyes tightly again as if to block himself from the sights he was seeing in his mind. "I-i w-wouldn't b-be ab-able to l-live w-with m-myself..." He whimpered softly.

But she continued on, as she was known to do. Her sharp voice harsh in his ears, causing him to wince and quickly look away again until she demanded his gaze. He would slowly life large blue eyes to her, meeting her eyes before she continued on. His ears were pressed back, his brows furrowed and he felt himself practically quivering with his anxieties. He just stared at her as she spoke, his voice and heart caught so tightly in his throat. He felt like he wanted to cry and scream in a single breath, but instead he just looked at her before slowly shifting his gaze to the left. "....b-but.." He whispered softly, shifting on his paws as if to make himself smaller. "I-i'm n-nothing like Lark..." He murmured softly. Perhaps that was his biggest thing. He idolized his big brother, perhaps to too much of an extreme, and it greatly colored his vision of himself. He wanted to be like him, so much.
