let's get this over with

Ah, shit. She'd caught on to his tone, and he found himself shrugging in initial response. "Sounds like you can relate," he breathed gently, partially glad that she seemed to express similar sentiments. Not being able to pinpoint perfectly how you felt definitely sucked sometimes, and he was no stranger to feeling lost about his own feelings.

His ears twitched as she spoke. She almost sounded.. envious, maybe, that he hadn't talked to her about Storm's pups? Maybe not envious as much as.. left-out. He didn't blame her - he would've felt the exact same way. Lark wondered if her words had a grain of truth. Was their dad trying to have a sort of.. second chance with them? It made sense, even if it was a bit odd. "Eh, you might be a little right," he admitted after a moment of thinking. "I can't blame him too much, though. It would really suck to see your kids.. not all want to be in the same place, I'd imagine." He had his own host of abandonment issues, even if he didn't like admitting it, with so many of his siblings coming and going so often. Maybe Bass did feel like he'd failed as a father... but then why the hell was he pulling away from them so much?

But.. he didn't blame Sparrow. Or Starling. Or even his dad, not fully. "Eh, you were old enough to make your own choices. It sucks, but.." Lark found himself shrugging his shoulders again. "I'm kind of jealous, in a way. I never really got to know anyone outside of Abaven. And half of the friends I made here have left anyway." Briefly, he thought of Tinaro, and then Calypsei. "It's pretty neat you've gotten to explore so much and meet new people." Though he was a bit envious, he didn't really want to leave. Everyone he needed was here - well, most of them; some were far away but he figured the family that had left probably didn't want to be found anyway.

Her impression of their dad did make him laugh, as much as he didn't want to. A snort echoed in his throat. "I doubt he's thinking of it like that, Sparrow." Their dad wasn't like that. Right? His nose wrinkled a bit in thought. Maybe he was punishing Lark, too, for not stepping up and taking the initiative to want to have Abaven as his own pack someday. He stifled a sigh, plopping down to his haunches with a huff.

It was surprising to hear her talk about pups. He hadn't thought much about kids. Half the time he still felt too young to even consider such a thing, but he was pretty sure he was older now than his dad had been when he'd started Abaven and had his first litter. "What, you think you'll have pups someday?" Lark asked after a second, glancing up at her curiously. Now that was something he'd definitely never talked to Sparrow about.
