try to find my way back home

The memories that this place brought back to him were hard to handle. He'd been at his lowest point here - this was the first place he'd been when he realized how utterly alone he was. He'd been young then, little more than a yearling, when he'd lost both of his parents. Briefly he recalled the boy that had approached him, to see if he was alright, and how harshly he had responded to his thoughtful sentiments. He shook his head as he moved, remembering and hating every painful moment of it. Steel was so deeply engrossed in his thoughts that he hardly even heard the sound of someone approaching. He felt like someone had grabbed him, suddenly holding him in place as he stopped suddenly to face whoever had spoken, glued to the earth. His head tilted, finding the stranger quickly nearby. He wasn't exactly a stranger, but to say Steel knew him by anything other than his face would be a lie. He'd never been known to pay much attention to that sort of thing, not unless he needed to. His world revolved around his mate and children - and until this moment, he'd hardly thought about anything but them. It took him a moment to register what Gryphon had said. He knew his name, and Steel felt the nagging feeling of awkwardness that he didn't know the other man's name. "I.. uh.. no?" he answered, though his words came out as more of an uncertain question than anything else. Maybe he should be hunting for them? In truthfulness, he'd delved into a moment of personal reflection, and had forgotten his duties as a father and as a husband. Surely he was allowed some alone time, but he felt suddenly guilty for thinking about only himself, albeit only for a short while. His ears twitched as he shifted to face Gryphon properly now. His face contorted in slight confusion. "Are you? I mean.. hunting?" He regretted not spending more time around his packmates now; he felt suddenly, unquestioningly awkward and at a loss for what to say. |
