You are grounded young man!

To say he was a bit shocked to find his sister pushing up beside him was an understatement; for much of the time he'd known her she had been afraid of conflict, but to see her finally standing up for... well it wasn't herself; but still the protective mother in her was coming out and to be honest Torin was a bit impressed to see her facing her fears for her children.

Of course his father wouldn't back down; and Torin felt his anger flaring again. Even as Jewell retreated with his family Torin couldn't help the frustration and anger he felt at seeing his father behave like this.

The next thing Torin knew Frostbite was also there; standing between him and his father and Torin felt a sort of indignation flair up in him; he had only been defending his sister and her pups... but as he glanced back at his sister's retreating family he couldn't help the guilt that sank into his gut like a rock. Zell didn't seem inclined to listen to Frostbite however and after taking one last dig, this time at Torin himself he walked away.

Torin felt all the emotions and energy he'd been feeling leak out of him and he physically deflated; falling on his haunches, hunched over himself. He didn't have it in him to go after his father, instead watching him leave.

Torin felt hollow, he breathed a deep sigh, unable to bring his gaze up to Frostbite. That's probably going to come back to bite me in the ass, was all he could think as he watched his father's retreating form.

He had never felt less fit for his role than in this moment; some part of him was sure his mother or even Rory would have been able to find away to diffuse the situation without leaving his family feeling torn apart. But not Torin, nope, he'd messed up and he could feel what little family he had left slipping from his grasp. "What a mess." He muttered, loud enough to be heard but not really directed at anyone.
