Together We Stand {Bass Family}

Much to his pleasure, Finch did eventually arrive - only slightly late, if at all. His somber demeanor shifted slightly when she moved to his side, his mood brightening as a faint smile appeared on his face, though it remained but for a moment before their father began to speak.

Much of what he said was not surprising to him. Their mother was gone, and wouldn't be welcomed home. She'd made their choice to leave their family long ago, but actually hearing it as fact made his chest ache painfully. He nodded slowly in agreement. It sucked, but it was her loss - she'd been a terrible mother for much of their lives anyway, what with her being gone all the time. A soft sigh left his lips.

It wasn't surprising about Starling, either. He'd left and returned, a few times now, never with any explanation. He'd seemed to pretend he was actually just troubled, but Lark had called him out for it - he was selfish. Selfish for leaving them all to worry, selfish for being so melodramatic at the worst times. He grimaced as he thought of it. He was somewhat taken aback at Sparrow's question - if that was it, or if she could leave. He frowned outwardly. "Why? Got somewhere more important to be?" he'd ask aloud, his voice low, unafraid of the consequences. Now that they were finally together, it struck him as bizarre that she was so quick to run off. What had gotten into everyone?
