Teenagers scare the living out of me

As his sister stated that she wasn't even sure what she wanted to do with herself, that she wasn't even sure who she was, a sad grin spread on his black lips. He felt his spirits lifting when she settled one of her paws on his, nudging her nose under his chin to lift his head up high and proud. He blinked his eyes, trying to get rid of the sting and the tears that had threatened to spill. He felt a little stronger with his sister comforting him, and he was glad that she wasn't judging him for what had happened. He had felt so much anxiety over it all, fearing that his family would despise him for spilling blood that belonged to them all. He wouldn't have blamed them. He knew it had been wrong. But it had just happened, and he couldn't change it.
Ramsay listened, his black-rimmed ears perking with great interest as Ash spoke, realizing how much he valued his sister's words right now. When had she gotten so clever, and wise? Maybe she hadn't wasted so much time worrying and being angry over things that couldn't be changed. Perhaps he ought to strive to be a little more like her, and get his head back on straight. It gave him a lot of insight as he listened, realizing what his brother had planned - they were grandeur plans, for sure, and Vadim was still very young, but Ramsay realized he liked the sound of it all. Sure, he'd been mad and hurt over their fight, and guilt had clawed at him for days and days... but all in all, he loved his siblings and his dad, and he wanted them all to be a family. To be together, to succeed and be proud of one another. It sounded great. He just needed to shove his pride aside, and if Ash could do it, he was sure he could too.
When she had finished speaking, he finally found some words, having had a chance to breathe and somewhat find a steadiness in his mind. "It sounds great, Ash... I want all of that," he said in response to her, nodding his head as though to truly confirm it all, "I want us all to be a family, to be proud of each other. I don't want to hurt any of you... I shouldn't have.. I just shouldn't have fought with Vadim, no matter what. I've heard that blood is thicker than water, maybe that's what this all means. That we should stick together through everything. And you're right... I'm angry, but I can use it on enemies." His green eyes glimmered with the thoughts of potential for them all. He looked to the ground, pausing for a moment in thought, before looking back up at Ash again, offering her a small smile for what felt like the first time in forever. "Thank you Ash, for making me see straight again," he said, his tone full of gratitude toward his sister, "Vadim is our brother. If he wants to be a king, and he wants us to all be recognized, then we should follow him. Especially if we don't even know what we want to do with ourselves... maybe we're just meant to be followers. But that's okay, right? It's for our family, to make us all better, and stronger." He watched his sister's face, wondering if she would agree. He hoped so. He hoped he sounded like less of a moron than he had seemed moments ago. He knew now, he would have to talk with his brother, apologize for what he'd done, and see where the future took them.
