Shrike barely listened to the arguing around him. Name calling. His siblings were hurting. Everyone was at wits end because right now this situation was just bad all around. He would feel the tension around them, the tension that was so thick in the air you could cut it with a knife. Shrike would squeeze his eyes closed. He didn’t like this. He didn’t like this these feelings. These negative emotions. It was as if he felt everyone’s irritation, sadness, hurt... It felt like, for the first time, Shrike’s attention was shifting to someone other than himself. When he opened his eyes again Starling had turned away, as had Lilliana and Quake. His father was speaking and, hearing his name, the boy would force himself to stand. He felt like he could be sick at any moment. But he dared not make this situation worse. That fear was far more prominent in his mind. Bass was right... They had to rely on each other now more than ever. Don’t you dare screw up. His mind would whisper. No, he wouldn’t make a scene. At Harmony’s words {to Sparrow, rather than him} Shrike would glance at his sister. Apparently the only herbs she thought of was something his sister could fetch. “If those are the only herbs you need then I can get Finch some water.” His voice was oddly quiet. “...and if I see Lillie or Quake I’ll pass on the message...” Shrike would glance at his father for a moment longer. Bi-colored eyes mingled with troubled emotions, but he tried to force a small smile. “She’s home and with us... She’s gonna... She will...!” He dipped his head. He couldn’t get the words out completely, but surely the others present understood what he was trying to say. Without further hesitation he would make his way to the nearest water source. They would make sure she was fine. They had to. -Exit Shrike.- "" |
