Though he'd never really seen Ignis upset - until that day at the Battlefield - he was seeing a different side of him now, too. He didn't seem mad, just.. conflicted, maybe? And tired? Corvus wasn't terribly good at reading others, and he furrowed his brows as Ignis sighed and tried to collect his thoughts. Corvus wasn't sure what to expect but he definitely hadn't expected what he was about to say. That wolf had been his older brother - his father had raped to produce children, including his own mother. Corvus felt his eye twitch uncomfortably, but continued to listen and nod slowly.
His story had been more intense than he'd realized. All he'd really known when he'd first met Ignis was that he'd come to Abaven with his uncle and sister because it was safer. Now he understood just what he'd meant by that. He felt a frown pulling at his lips as he noticed tears beginning to form, though instead of consoling him - Corvus wasn't really the comforting sort of wolf, and they didn't really have that kind of friendship anyway - he simply averted his eyes and continued to listen. It sounded like he had some distrust for Shaye now, too, after she'd interfered.
Oh, and he was leaving Abaven. Wait, what? Corvus brought his gaze back to Ignis, his frown deepening as he tried to process his words. His one real close friend outside of his cousin and siblings was leaving, and the thought of that sucked, but he wouldn't be selfish and make this all about him. "Wow. That sucks," Corvus sighed simply, though he quickly tried to clarify what he meant. "I mean.. it sucks that you're leaving. I'm sorry you've gone through all that." But wasn't Abaven safer? Safer than going with his uncle to start a pack and seek vengeance? Corvus found it hard to wipe the frown off his face. "Just... be careful. That guy looked pretty crazy." That clusterfuck at the Battlefield had been an absolute mess and it wasn't a nice thought to imagine Ignis getting caught up in it all. "Do you have any idea when you guys will be leaving? Does Shaye know?" He licked his lips somewhat nervously, wondering how much longer he could hang out with Ignis before he left. The thought of leaving Abaven had never really crossed his mind, and though he wouldn't admit it to anyone - even Ignis - for a split second he found himself entertaining the idea.
