Everything happened rather.. quickly. Lillie arrived, and he turned to offer her a slight smile, but instead she approached him and quickly pressed against him. He felt his heart sink in his chest. He didn't know how to feel about what had happened with them. Like with most things regarding his relationship with Lillie, he preferred to not think about it too in-depth. Now she was publicly showing affection to him? He stiffened at her touch, though dared no recoil. He'd really enjoyed what they'd shared together and the thought of it not happening because he'd offended her wasn't exactly a nice thought either. But knowing anyone in Abaven could notice this wasn't exactly that enjoyable, either. He grimaced silently, though remained at her side, even leaning slightly in to her touch to show he was not denying it. Finch arrived before his father began to speak, and he swore she shot him an odd look before coming to rest at his other side. Both women mattered to him quite a bit, just in different ways, and he clenched his jaw as he sat quietly and turned his eyes toward his father as he began to address them. His tone was far less strong than usual. It seemed almost dejected, and he felt his own spirits sink slightly. He knew he, too, was at fault for not being more active within the pack - but a lot had happened to distract him, this last year or so. He knew he should be sitting where Tinaro was. Calling meetings, training, and reaching higher, but his ambitions had slipped away from him. A soft, hardly audible sigh fell from his lips. He mentally told himself he would keep training more, and harder. He had to make something of himself, something his father would be proud of. Lark had always wanted to be someone his siblings could luck up to, no matter what they needed, and he didn't feel like he'd been much of that lately. He was given instructions to join the healers to search for herbs, and he nodded curtly in understanding. He couldn't help but wonder if anyone would chose to leave. Briefly his eyes danced over the group of wolves, thinking silently to himself. And still, he couldn't help but wonder if anyone had noticed Lillie greet him so affectionately.. |
