It's been awhile

Faite couldn't wait to bring Laisren into the pack so he could catch up and socialize. She could only imagine that Zuriel would be more than happy to see him and she was eager to introduce him to the rest of the family. She already picture her own children scrambling on him to use him like a jungle gym, except for maybe Torin, but certainly Kairi. Her daughter was certainly energetic and would waste no time in making herself as friendly as possible. Then there was Zuriel's kids - she hadn't really gotten to know them yet, but she imagined that it would be a fun event. Of course Laisren would get full access to the pack as well. He was family so he'd be allowed to wander where he wished. Her good mood dampened slightly when Laisren shifted slightly and sighed. Her ears perked forward curiously and her brows knit together in worry as she studied him. Everyone was okay, right? They had to be. Regulus had won the challenge - sure, he'd been a little beaten up when he'd left the battlefield, but it'd been a victory nonetheless. What she heard was almost a relief, but not enough to ease her worries. She'd expected that Regulus would take the time to recuperate, but hearing of their mother's passing was like being hit with the news all over again. She frowned as her ears flattened on her head - there was just no way she was going to get over Surreal's death, it hurt too much to think about, which was why she'd done her best to try and not think about it for too long. She'd at least had distractions ranging from pack duties to raising kids. To hear Laisren hadn't been able to continue his training and that the pack had been silent - well she felt guilty. Had she been selfish for leaving and continuing her life while the rest of her family remained stagnant? How long would it be until Regulus recovered enough to continue on as normal? "You know you're always welcome to come stay here for a bit Laisren and I'd be happy to train with you some more. I know I didn't work with you enough before I left and I'm sorry. I should have come to visit sooner." Her ears remained flattened as he brought up his litter mates. She'd already known about Kieryn's disappearance. She'd tracked the girl all the way to the tar pits and hadn't been able to pick up her scent after that. She, of course, had looked around for a black and white body, but she hadn't seen her younger sister's form trapped in the tar so that'd been a relief, but only a small one. Where had the younger girl disappeared if she hadn't perished in the pits? And then there was Rasiel ... she hadn't known of the other's disappearance too. No wonder Laisren was so upset - neither of his litter mates were there to keep him company. "I'm sorry Lais, I had no idea Rassie was gone too. I tried to find Kieryn months ago, but I couldn't pick up a trace of her." "Speech" I like to imagine That you smile when you hear my songs |
