Around and Around

She had lingered at Celestial's borders all morning, but in the end had just turned back around and come back to the estuary. She wanted to go to her father so badly to make sure he was okay or at least as okay as he could be. He had dedicated his whole life to Surreal and her success and their family and now... Her ears flicked back at the thought. She had finally made herself stop thinking about her pregnancy for a moment so that she could force herself to grieve for her mother. Wasn't that sad? That she had to make room in her cluttered mind for an emotion? It just seemed like there was always some anxiety or unwanted memory there in the way now. She had to fully put her attention on forcing them away to be able to address anything else. The moment she let her focus slide they all rushed back in again. She felt terrible for not going to her father sooner since she had been the one to really watch after him all this time, but she couldn't do it. Not yet. She sighed and made her way back through the estuary to the middle island she had been lingering on lately. As she got closer though she stopped when she noticed another wolf's scent. It took her longer than she would have liked to admit to recognize it as Tornach's, but her shoulders relaxed a bit once it clicked. She hadn't seen her younger brother in some time so she was a little surprised that he was out here now. Zuriel hesitated for a moment, unsure if she even wanted to try facing another one of her family members besides Faite right now, but... he was right here and by now she was sure he would have caught her scent. She reluctantly pulled herself onto the island and shook out her legs to get rid of some of the water that clung to them. She padded around the small island till her blue gaze landed on Tornach. She offered him a small smile, saying, "Hey there, Tor. Long time no see." |
