They Left Us Alone

That certainly wasn't a voice he had been expecting. His head snapped up at Vitus' howl, his familiar voice jerking him away from his ever-present musing and worrying. Well, he had wanted a distraction and now he supposed he had one. It seemed like every time he got around to accepting the fact that his brothers were never coming back one of them mysteriously reappeared out of the woodwork. He took a moment to take a deep breath and steady himself. He didn't want to go into this the same way he had when he found Bacchus that first time. He still partially blamed himself for how things with Bacchus had fallen apart and he didn't want to drive another of his brothers away. He turned and hurried toward where Vitus had called from. He had expected to either be first to arrive or perhaps right behind one of his mothers, but a different gray figure was there than Athena. He padded up to them just in time to hear Jayne ask if he was her brother. He was still amazed by how observant she was sometimes. "He is," he replied for him as he came over to stand next to his little sister. His two-toned gaze lingered on his brother as he gave Vitus a tired smile. "Jayne, this is Vitus... It's good to see you again, brother." |
