Winter Preperations
05-24-2016, 10:54 AM
Not knowing what had truly happened, only having what she'd seen and what little she'd gotten out of her run in with the man who still held her heart to some degree. He hadn't really filled in all the blanks though since their 'conversation' was rather focused on blaming rather than sharing information. All she thought she knew was that her dear family was gone, aside from one who she doubted she would ever speak with again. Knowing Inverno was here and had a different perspective of events meant that there was hope she could finally find out more. And, even better, someone she cared for was alive. That alone made her happy.
He seemed glad as well to finally have someone from the past resurface, and she enjoyed that this meeting would at the very least show her that she was not alone in many of her feelings. Her walking for so long had in part been due to not knowing who had attacked them. She couldn't risk ever going back alone for fear that she would not make it out with her life. There was also the possibility that someone would come for her. But if Vern was alright... Maybe she had to rethink what she would do from here on out.
Hearing that he had not run into anyone was admittedly a tad disappointing but she didn't let it foul her mood. The pack was full of strong wolves, so if anybody else had made it out by some miracle then they were probably out there somewhere and neither of the two had found them yet. Having run into two wolves from her past now, she could let go of the idea that there may be one or two more. Her brows sort of drew together and her smile weakened a bit, almost falling away completely when she responded, "I have. It... was Zephyr. I thought, before I saw him that if he was alive we would meet again and be happy to just see one another. But, oh he was so different. All he saw was someone to blame, and instead of being happy it was anything but." Caelum nearly choked on the words but kept her composure. For some reason she felt the need to remain in control in front of Inverno, if only because she was once his leader, though going deeper it was more because she didn't want to prove Zephyr right. She didn't want to be the weak piece of garbage he seemed to think she was now.
"He said I ran away, but that's not what happened. I don't want anyone to think I ran. I was chasing someone, I didn't know that the pack was... under attack. I just knew that my pups... They were gone, and I went after the one who did it. I think, maybe Zephyr or someone else saw me but didn't see who I was after. When I saw him again he blamed me, and my sister for everything. I don't know why he felt it was the fault of Ilona, but he seemed to think it was and that I was also guilty by association."
