Heaven is a place that I can't find, and I can feel it in my bones.

As Ash stated her name with the last name of their father, he twitched his ear. He'd been told early on that he was an Armada, had Ash decided to abandon their mother's name? It made sense, but his eyes lingered on her as he wondered what that meant. Did she harbor bad feelings for their mother? He was sore about her disappearance as well, of course, but he was hopeful that she would one day return.. and with a good excuse.. but he would never admit that he yearned for that. Embers shimmered in his eyes with the thought, though he quickly narrowed his gaze to hide them as he willed the thoughts away from his mind. They were too young to be without a mother, but he would not give up hope like Ash had. There were a million reasons why the youth didn't seem as friendly or playful as others his age, why he didn't mingle with the pack and get to know them. It just didn't feel right, but his eyes did wander up to Kharnage as he made his threat clear. "Alright, alright. I just wanted to make sure you weren't here to flap your mouth later and earn some brownie points from the adults." He grumbled, his weight plopping down on to his hefty bottom before he brought one of his back limbs up to soothe an itch at the back of his ear. It was during this that he watched Ash exchange an invitation to Flamie and Vadim silently rolled his eyes. As the boy lowered his chest to the ground in a play bow and spoke with his poor english, Vadim only grew further annoyed. This stranger was already getting along with his sister better than he'd ever been able to and it was mildly irritating. What did it take to gain recognition from his family, a coat of flames? He couldn't realistically accomplish that even if he wanted to, unless maybe he set himself literally on fire. Would they notice him then? He chuffed, hiding the fact that he was getting a bit choked up while he gave in to the darker thoughts initiated by the jealousy he felt with this new guy around. He pulled himself away with an 'I am beyond done with this' sort of expression, letting his larger paws carry him across the floor of the mine as he ventured deeper into it. He secretly hoped they would follow, but even if they chose not to, he was determined to find something to keep his mind active and away from thoughts of neglect. |
