Do we regret

Voltage just breathed in the warm air, closing his eyes as he relaxed against his brother. Resting. Easily resting. He knew Glacier wouldn't accept his words so easily. If there was a singular truth about the two Elementas, it was that they were insanely stubborn. It was how they had survived, too stubborn to feel sorry for themselves when they were tossed out into the world. It was how they lived, too stubborn to let their family go. Stubborn stubborn, but oddly less so with each other. They were always so intuned with one another that there was little to be stubborn about, but things like this, hurt and emotion, were those things. Voltage knew Glacier was a reality kind of person. He believed in truth and fact, Voltage believed in stories and emotion. Perhaps that was why he felt differently about the loose ends left behind. They were mystery, and still they were stories. They were their past and Voltage accepted them whole heartedly.

Slowly he opened his eyes again as Glacier spoke and he just breathed in the air, the scent, the emotion. He soaked in it, in a rare way he didn't get too often. Glacier was always the one he could lean again, discussing his emotions and his feelings and his fears, and it wasn't often that he got to do it for Glacier. Though, he still was doing the leaning, wasn't he? "There are truths in stories." He whispered softly. "Maybe our family, maybe the future generations...maybe they don't need factual he-was-here-when type stories. Maybe they don't need history." He'd lift his eyes to the horizon, as the first star spotted in the darkening sky. "Maybe we just need our stories, our truths, the ones we decided were true." He murmured softly, closing his eyes again. "Do you want to go back? You could make a trip...it's not too far if you walk all day. A few days at best." He shrugged his shoulder. "There's nothing, though. Our tree is vibrant, our homes untouched...our parents buried outside of their den. The answers waiting on ghost's silent lips." It was a hard truth, but perhaps one that might help Glacier understand that he might not get to understand and that was okay.
