Despite his anger being visibly stifling at Caelum's arrival, it took much longer for his heartbeat to even begin to slow. Internally he was still writing in frustration - years of emotions seemed to surface now, all at once, and the jealousy that he still harbored over the brief period of time that Inverno had spent with his mate seemed to grate at his nerves even more fiercely now. Most of his energy now was channeled into raising Caelestis and keeping her out of trouble, and he had grown used to the easy and familiar way that he and Caelum worked together. These feelings had been a long time coming, but just as quickly as they surfaced they were pushed back down again - and he wasn't sure if he felt relieved or restless over the way his feelings were suddenly stifled. For now, he would simmer quietly with those feelings, blinking as he tried to force his more irritating thoughts away.

'Taking the high road is never not an option,' Caelum reminded him, and his ears flattened tight against his skull. No, it was never not an option... but it wasn't necessarily always the best option, either. He knew that just as well. But he knew arguing would be a losing battle for him, so he merely grunted in soft acknowledgement. It was no surprise when she invited Inverno to Abaven, as he had known she would if either of them ever found their old packmate again, but that didn't make him any less unimpressed by it. His eyes narrowed, though he avoided Inverno's gaze as he waited for his answer. Would he come with them, or was he fine on his own? Truthfully, he looked like shit, though Zephyr knew as the saying went, you could drag a horse (or in this case, a wolf) to water but you couldn't make him drink. Perhaps Inverno didn't want the help. Regardless, it wasn't up to Zephyr - he'd do whatever Cae needed of him, however begrudgingly, though the gentle touch of her nose to his neck helped calm his frazzled spirits slightly.
