But It's Better If You Do

"Talk" Walk

"He's right," Ignis glanced up briefly, the feeling of hope in his chest. He certainly hoped so, because he and his sister had been through a lot when Ruina had been abandoned. The emotional turmoil was enough to make anyone sick, and he had been doing his best not to think about it too much these days. It was all he could do to avoid the sadness and anger that tugged at him whenever he thought about their father abandoning them. Corvus went on to explain that it was especially safer now that the Abraxas were gone, and Ignis didn't really know what he was talking about. He thought he remembered Shaye mentioning something about that when they first joined, but he hadn't been paying much attention. His thoughts at the time weren't the best, and he had been focused on comforting his sister through their drastic life change. He shook his head a bit, frowning. "I don't really know anything about that. I think Shaye mentioned it, but I don't know anything about it really," Whatever had happened, it was probably nothing good. Would they have still joined while that was going on? Probably not. Whatever it was though sounded not so good, so he was glad that they were gone, otherwise they probably would have still been loners and fending for themselves. He didn't like being a loner, and was much happier being in a pack.

Corvus explained that he mostly hung out with his cousin because his own brother wasn't really around. He sat back with a thoughtful look, it seemed they had more in common than he thought. Ignis only had his sister and his uncle. He hadn't seen his littermates for a while, and he knew he had older siblings but he hadn't seen them since then, either. His mother, his father... they all left him and his sister behind without a word or warning. The earthen male went on, offering to hang out with him if he wanted to, and Ignis' features lit up. Did that mean he'd have a real friend? Before he responded, he learned that Corvus felt lonely alot too despite being surrounded by family. Honestly, Ignis had felt the same way even when Ruina was there. His dad only spent time with him when he wanted to teach them something, but other than that? Nothing.

He spent most of his time with his uncle, and now it was his uncle and sister. "I understand how that is, " He really did, but he wasn't ready to go into details yet or tell others that his dad abandoned him because he didn't yet know what the reason was. Maybe he wasn't good enough for his father or something. He supposed he'd never find out until he saw Elias again, if ever. "I think...it would be fun to hang out with you, Corvus. Maybe we can train together sometime or something. Or go hunting, or... whatever you want." Honestly, he'd be happy doing anything with his new friend.
