Breaking Me Down

*Bass* · 09-18-2016, 10:12 PM

Bass was shocked when the taller woman snuggled into him, he froze slightly and blinked rapidly. It was rather unexpected and rather brash, but she was emotional right now. So he let out a sigh and relaxed into her, draping his head over top of hers in an effort to console her. Years as a father would do that, and he wanted to do all that he could to help his friend. Gently he licked the top of her head, seeking to offer her any comfort. A part of him was afraid for her, scared of what would happen to the woman that he had found an easy friendship in. The pale mans ears perked when she started to speak, just grooming her fur as she went on. He did this to his kids when they had been upset, and he felt like he was parenting her right now as well. His heart twinged for her, but he was curious when she mentioned Mercy. Wasn't that the pale woman who was in Imperium? He had seen her at the siege, but didn't know anything else about her. Was she the one that did this? Why? Her speech was only bringing forth more questions in his mind, but he didn't dare speak until she got everything out. That was, until she asked what she had done wrong. The Abaven alpha pulled back sharply, rolling his shoulders forward in hope of pushing her own head forward so he could meet her gaze. His own yellow eyes were narrowed into fierce slits, a low rumble sounding in his throat. "You did nothing wrong. No matter how much we parent and love our kids, they are going to turn into who they were destined to be. We can try to shape and mold them all we want, but they only revolt further into their own wolf. A parent can only do too much before their personalities take over," he said with a grumble. He knew this personally with Starling. No matter what he and his kids tried, he still thought that he was nothing. It was infuriating, but it took him realizing the mistakes that he had made to come back and apologize. Hopefully the same would happen with Lykos.

He nodded when she brought up their last meeting, knowing that feeling oh so well. She spoke about not deserving to be happy, and in that moment he realized how much in common she had with Star. It shocked him, so much so that all he could do was look at her and blink. He was surprised at the irritation that flared up in him, but he felt like he had been through this so many times. "Your worth is something that you create yourself. Your happiness is your responsibility and yours alone. You cannot have others carry you emotionally through life; you're not your own wolf if you do this," He said, his voice slightly hoarse. He was trying to keep the angst he felt from his voice, which made it come off at broken as it did. How many times had he said those words to Starling? How many times did he have to affirm his pride in his own son before he finally saw it? Just how much would he have to say to her for her to see it?
