But It's Better If You Do

"Talk" Walk

Ignis' head tilted slightly as he listened to the boy. He wondered who had fallen in. Even if it had been a lifetime ago and even if he would never personally know who they were, his curiosity would drive him to try and find out, just for the sake of curiosity. He stored what the boy said away, wondering if he'd be able to find his dad and ask..you know, for the sake of a history lesson and stuff. Who knew, maybe they had been Abaven wolves! And if he was going to live here, wouldn't it be important to know the names of any important wolves that had lived in the past? Then again...he could just leave well enough alone. He supposed he could sit on the thought for now.

The earthen boy introduced himself as Corvus, and Ignis stored the name away. It was a neat name, that was for sure. Easy to say and simple enough to remember. Needless to say, he liked Corvus already! "Um..." He sat back, thinking about an answer to Corvus' question. He didn't not like Abaven. He was just...bummed, that he didn't have any friends. Then again, he didn't have any friends in Ruina, either. He shrugged, wondering how exactly to answer the question. He could lie and say that he loved it...but Ignis was a terrible liar. "I dunno...I came here with my uncle and my sister because...well..." Because what? His dad and the entire pack of Ruina had abandoned him and his sister? His dad maybe didn't want him? His mother didn't want him?

He frowned for a moment, feeling like maybe he was overthinking things way too much to a question that more than likely only needed a simple answer. He found himself looking away for a moment as he cleared his throat, then changed up his answer. "My uncle said Abaven was safer. And he was right, I think." Much safer. He returned his gaze to the other boy, "It's nice here. But...it is lonely, I think. I don't really know anyone, and...I dunno, I only mostly see Shaye and Rhyme. If not my uncle and sister.." He mused. Now that he thought about it, he didn't see much of anyone else. Unless he just wasn't looking in the right places. Or they were avoiding him. Whatever the case, he felt lonely and he wasn't sure what to do about it.
