But It's Better If You Do

Corvus couldn't help but muse over his own words, too, and quietly he told himself he really ought to ask his dad more about his childhood. He only knew bits and pieces, though his conversation with Shaye had really made him interested in learning more about his parents. They were only getting older, after all, and while he didn't want to think about them not being around, well.. maybe those thoughts were best left for another day. He noted that Ignis didn't seem comfortable with his question, hesitating slightly before answering. He didn't blame him. He'd probably answer in a similar way if asked how he liked Abaven these days. Ignis cautiously explained he'd come here because his uncle said it was safer. Corvus nodded in slow understanding. "He's right," he started quietly, his attention turning back to the rapids. If that was the safest part of this life, he supposed it was a pretty decent one. "It's especially safe now that the Abraxas are gone. I dunno if you knew about that, but one of them was ruling for awhile, but my aunt Sparrow was really helping him. I guess." He didn't fully get all of that stuff, but he did understand that even if things were weirder with family coming back to take over, it was definitely more ideal - and certainly safer. Lonely, that was how he felt. Corvus could relate for sure to that point, and he nodded sullenly. "Yeah, I mostly hang out with my cousin Peggy. Even my brother isn't around that much anymore." He wasn't even sure where Aiden was off too these days, but clearly it wasn't around here. Corvus tried to stifle a sigh, but failed. "If you ever want anyone to hang out with, I'm always around. I don't go far," Corvus admitted with a low chuckle. "And I kinda feel lonely a lot of the time too, and I'm surrounded by family all the time. Go figure, right?" Hopefully it didn't seem too stupid to admit, but it was how he felt. |
