Been There, Done That

He sat quietly so absorbed in his own thoughts thoughts that he didn't hear his father's approach. He wasn't aware of the other man's presence until he sat right next to him. Leo was silent for a moment and Lionel was happy to sit in peace for a minute before his ears flicked towards him. He was half expecting Leo to ask him what he'd been up to, why he hadn't participated in much lately, but was surprised when it wasn't anything like that at all. His gaze shifted towards the waterfall at his words and he nodded softly.

"Yeah, it's beautiful." He murmured. "You picked a good spot."

Not that the hot springs had been a bad spot, he'd been there a couple times after they switched territories, but they still had nothing on the falls. he glanced towards Leo again, doing his best to offer a small smile, before glancing back with a feeling of embarrassment. He found it hard to look at him when all he could think about was his previous failures of late. He'd originally expected so much from himself and now he was just falling short.

"I'm sorry I haven't ... done much lately. I feel like I'm drowning. I've tried to get past it, but every time I look at Bright Moon and Quelt's kids it just brings it all back. I tried so hard to help them, but I was late and then I get to thinking that maybe if I'd gotten there earlier they'd still be alive and those kids would still have their parents around."
