Where No Cars Go

Bi-colored gaze intensely watched his brother, the monochrome male hardly blinking. He feared that if he did, his brother would disappear again as if he were no more then an illusion. But when Ty spoke, Cloud quietly sighed in relief. So he wasn't just a figment of his imagination...good. "I'm doing it again. "’m making another pack, here, in these lands.” Cloud's gaze drifted to the bone white forest around them as if he were seeing it again for the first time, then back at his brother. So he was going to try his hand at leading again? Cloud wondered if his brother was up for the task, but immediately dismissed the thought. Of course he was. Ty was a natural leader. At least, Cloud thought so. He remained quiet, however, and instead let Ty speak and say what he wanted to say.

He knew his brother regretted leaving him in Dauntless. And everything after that. But Cloud couldn't find it in him to hold it against his brother. Sure he had been disappointed time and time again by most everything in his life, but no matter what...Ty was there, in one form or another. He was closer to him than his sisters, but that was also his fault. He didn't seek out his sisters the same way he did Ty. In some form, he supposed he favored Ty a little more simply for the fact that he was his only brother. Well, not counting his father's other bastard kids.

After careful consideration and thought, Cloud decided what he would do. He wasn't going to turn Ty down. He wasn't going to abandon him. Finally, after long moments of silence, he spoke. "A lot has happened during our lifetime. Abandonment. Disappointment. Betrayals... But...I'll stick with you regardless. You're my brother. I'd follow you to the ends of the earth, you know that." He stepped forward to close the distance between them, and Cloud gently pressed his nose into his larger brothers shoulder. "Of course I'll join you, Ty. I'd have it no other way."
