It surprised him somewhat that Sparrow had arrived, not long after he did. In a way, his sister reminded him a bit of Starling in that they never seemed to stay in one place for long. His gaze followed her as she approached, nodding in silent acknowledgment before his attention shifted back to Starling. Sparrow's greeting was lighthearted, which he was grateful for, especially in comparison to his own relatively stiff response. He caught their father's presence at his side, though his gaze didn't stray from Starling much. He felt his posture slacken, just slightly, at the fact that he wasn't going to have to face his brother alone. He explained that he'd been looking for Pipit, after he'd disappeared. Lark nodded slowly, understanding. Even if deep down, he hated that Starling always came and went, just like he hated how Sparrow did it. Leaving seemed like part of life now, something that couldn't be avoided no matter how hard he tried or hoped. His brows furrowed slightly as he considered. "Maybe Pipit doesn't want to be found," Lark offered tentatively after a moment, his gaze falling after a touch of silence settled over them. "You can't solve everything, Starling. You should spend some time worrying about yourself." It was hard to keep the pain from creeping into his voice. It sucked really bad that Pipit was gone, but in the process of trying to find him, Lark hoped Starling hadn't been avoiding his own problems.. |
