Living in the Memories

Mortar's dual-toned gaze were still searching her face for answers. He watched her expression and tried to figure out if she was going to tell him another story or actually come out with the truth this time. He didn't have the patience for a game right now. As much as he pined for the old days, when they were carefree and off on their own adventures, he'd matured a lot and realized that things would never quite be the same. He'd never expected to run into Ray again, or any of them for that matter, so he was still wholly unprepared for this. He was unprepared for the flurry of emotions that barraged him like a tidal wave.

She finally looked down away from his fiery gaze and yet he stared at her intently. He wanted to hear something, anything, he could use to forgive her. Her face was almost unreadable when she finally did give him an answer. It didn't make him feel any better when she agreed that he should have gone with her. If he should have then why hadn't he been invited along? He would have gone anywhere with them. They'd been his family when he'd needed them the most and then they abandoned him without a word. It left him bitter and heart broken.

She almost gave him an acceptable answer. He listened as she tried to tell him that she didn't have one before she broke off and instead she paused. He was practically dying of curiosity now. He felt his anger ebbing away, it really was too hard to keep up, and it wasn't in his nature. It left him feeling exhausted and overall he just felt wounded. It was like someone had shoved something jagged inside his chest and left him to deal with the aftermath of pain.

Finally she came up with some sort of explanation (though it wasn't really enough to fully satisfy him) and he listened intently. It was almost an apology as she explained that it never should have happened. He didn't fully blame her for what transpired. It'd been the adults that had left him here. They were only pups when she'd disappeared along with the rest of the pack. It wasn't like she had been the one to lead them away, right? His mind was working against itself. Half of him wanted to hold a grudge and the other half ... well the other half wanted him to forgive her and try to make up for lost time. In the end his forgiving and kind nature won over his more bitter half.

"I'll forgive you on one condition. You have to promise never to leave me again and if you go on any more adventures I have to go with you." He said, almost defeated. "I'm tired of being alone."
