Do we regret

They existed so wholely as two pieces of a single entity. Two hearts, two souls, two unequally sized bodies, but one single thing that even seemingly random places they found managed to fit the two of them perfectly. The universe was kind to them in this way, allowing them to exist in a way that only they could, even as they branched out in their own little families and friends. They would always come back like this, laying together and contemplating the world, falling so insync Voltage wasn't surprised when he felt his breath fall in line with his brothers. He was silent as Glacier spoke, letting him get his thoughts and feelings out in his slow way, feeling the emotion swell between them as he fell to his brother's feelings. He turned contemplative, staring at the slow crashings of the water as his brother spoke of their parents.

Stormy eyes slowly shifted to stare up at Glacier, soft and fragile in this place. He blinked at the question and slowly took a breath. "I have..." He whispered tentatively, but it wasn't something he could afford to think about. Voltage felt everything so strongly that he had to be selective on what he allowed himself to think about, and he had allowed himself to mourn their past and their family, just as he had mourned his daughters and Arian. Glacier, however, icy to emotion as he was, hadn't seemed to allow himself that opportunity. So he took another breath and shifted to rest his cheek against his brother's neck. He hadn't thought too much of their parents, of their lot in life since his spring trip a few years ago. "The island is so far away now, it feels like its nothing but an image in the fog." He whispered softly. It was long gone now, untouchable, lost to the time between seconds that he felt like he couldn't reach it anymore. "There's a lot of mystery in our lives, for us especially....but sometimes the answers are not the best things to have." His voice was soft, nearly a whisper above the cold crashing of the ocean beneath them, and he stared out at the horizon. "We have a wonderful life, Glacier. If it weren't for our past and the mysteries our parents kept from us, we wouldn't have this life. We wouldn't have Gaia or Ani, wouldn't have our children. We wouldn't have made a home on the beach, and we would have all probably gone our own ways when we were able too, instead of being forced to leave. I take comfort in knowing that, even though the pain of our parents rejection and abandonment is something I will always feel." He'd tilt his head back to look up at Glacier then. "What if their answers shatter our reality, Glacier. It's fragile, our life. I don't want to see it break..."
