Why is everything so heavy

Alfred remained silent, even when his sister came up to him. Still, he gave her a gentle look, a small, thankful smile at her gesture. He knew the relationship he had with Heather wasn’t the most… stable. But he didn’t want to lose another sibling either. Roza’s leaving the pack had affected him quite a bit too. At first it wasn’t so bad, cause he had Razor, but… Alfie let out a low whine. At least he had the rest of his family… and Koron too. If he left Fiori all he’d have was his little fox friend… and what would he do if anything happened to her?

Alfred was silent as he listened to his father, his heart panging at the mention of Razor. His blue gaze fell to the earth, silently listening as his father continued on. The mention of another pack wolf entering their lands… that was something the young man didn’t pay much attention to. He should have… he should have cared more… but right now he was fighting with himself just to remain at the meeting. Koron on the other hand bristled at the news, giving a determined nod that she and Alfie would be going on more patrols to help Leo.

As the meeting went on Alfie found himself shifting uneasily on his paws. The moment his father finished the rest of the news his anxiety had welled up into overdrive and the young man spun from the rest of the pack, hurrying off. Koron lingered a moment longer, giving and apologetic look to Leo before trotting off after Alfred to see how she could help her friend.
