Watch your soul shine through
"I miss him a lot too." Her ears half lifted as she gazed at her tiny sister. Of course she missed him too. Who was she to think that she was the only one? Okami felt a little selfish in thinking that she was the only one that felt that way, and she felt bad that she hadn't talked to Charm about it. Okami, however, was somewhat in denial that it had even happened. Even though she knew full well that she would never see him again, part of her still felt like she could just run back to the pines, and he'd be there. But of course, it was all just her imagination. She frowned as her sister went on, ears pulling back when she mentioned someone had snapped at her. She knew who it was. There was no hiding it. "You're talking about Gryphon, aren't you? I...I kinda saw what happened when I was following a rabbit trail...I don't understand why he doesn't like us, but I've been afraid to ask him...or anyone, really." She simply didn't understand it. Was it because they were different? Or perhaps not littermates? Or was there some other reason she didn't know about? She knew they weren't close to their older siblings, and she hadn't really talked to them except for Dragon...it left her wondering though.
She leaned down to nuzzle her sister's head, realizing then just how tall she was and just how tiny Charm was. It was an incredibly huge difference, and it made Okami feel subconscious about her height. She was taller then all of her family, except for Lykos. But he wasn't ever around anymore. "I know how you feel, Charm. I miss the North too sometimes, but...big brother is in charge now, and I think he moved us here for a reason. I've seen the way mom has been for a while...back home, she looked so...I don't know...miserable? Like something was haunting her...she seems a little better now but..." She trailed off, shaking her head as she returned her focus to her sister. It was always just like her to worry about everyone, but now she was focused on her sister. "D-do you think...I mean...do you think about...going back?" She was afraid that Charm would leave her. She didn't want her sister to leave...would it be partly her fault though? She had kept them all at a distance since their father passed, part of her felt like this was her fault too for not spending more time with her. |
