Breaking Me Down

As he moved her head to look at him, she met his gaze but he could see the uncertainty in them. He didn’t care though, just going on and saying what he needed to say. When she looked away from him he wondered if he had stepped over the line, and he tucked his chin towards his chest instinctively. With how emotionally unstable she was, he didn’t know if she would lash out or what. Sadness did an awful thing to one’s mind, and you could never be too careful. But she looked back at him, telling him that she had been fighting for herself all of her life. He blinked at her for a moment, feeling like he was missing a big back story there. He didn’t question her though, she had more than enough going on right now. Bringing up her past would probably only make it worse. But she had pretty much taken his words and shoved them right back down her throat. He was rather baffled and struggled to find words. He had thought that he had made a pretty good point but… apparently not. He didn’t know what it was like to be rejected by your own kid and he had no desire to do so. It sure did sound like she had a lot of issues though, more than they could cover in just one day. Before anything else could transpire between the two, the bird returned from her trip.

Bass almost forgot that he had sent her out to see Finch, but his nose wrinkled when he saw the plants. The long frondy thing that she called horsetail was something he remembered from one of Starling’s lessons, and he knew that it involved chewing. At least the other two were for Avalon to deal with. Her other wounds seemed to be closed off for now, so he moved the soft looking leaves away. He took the horsetail in his mouth and started to chew, growling as he did so. Damn, this was so gross. Standing up, he spat it on the ground before pressing his paw in the paste and patting it gently on her shoulder. His tongue hung out of his mouth, and when he was done he wrinkled up his nose and ran his tongue over his teeth. Spitting out the rest of the stupid plant, he turned to the bird when she made a sound before taking off. A single brow rose as he watched her go, wondering what the hell that was about.

Avalon spoke again, and he turned around to face her. Apparently her bird was the only one there for her, and a sigh left his mouth. "Abaven has gone through its dry spells, but I have never felt like it wasn’t my home. If you feel like that… maybe you need to just get rid of it. If it’s causing all this trouble and strife for you, why keep it up? Or find help, perhaps. Is that not what you suggested to me?" he asked gently, eying her as he sat back down. "I’ve always wanted to pick my pack back up, and I’ve never felt like it wasn’t where I belonged. Sure, I needed little breaks, but who doesn’t? Maybe it’s something that you need to really think about," Stretching out his front legs until his belly rested on the ground, he looked at her with sadness in his eyes. It wasn’t an easy thing, being an alpha and a parent.
