Tempo wasn't exactly aware of his grief, not in the ways he would understand once he got older but that didn't mean he wasn't grieving. But the boy was doing his best to hide it, at least around his father. His father had been obviously sad since his mother left and Tempo had taken it upon himself to desperately try and cheer him up. There was also the distance his father was putting between himself and his sons, somewhere in the back of Tempo's mind he was becoming fearful his father was going to leave him too, though he wasn't quite aware enough to understand that, or how right he was. However much Solor didn't think anyone needed him, the boy did. Much as he loved his aunt Shaye there was a hole in his heart she'd never be able to fill, soon to be a second one. So the boy had taken to putting on a brave face, at least around his father. When he was by himself the boy was withdrawn, almost numb to the world around him. Noticeably uncharacteristic of the boy. Today though as Beat's words pulled Tempo from his sleep, or rather the pretend sleep he was in. Slowly he blinked his eyes open, rose to his paws and yawned. Before turning his gaze on his brother. Tempo put on a smile as he spotted his brother trying to coax his father into play, he made his tail wag and padded over. "Yes! Play with us!" He said, trotting over beside his brother, aiming to playfully chew on Beat's ear and giving his father the most hopeful puppy dog eyes he could. "talk" |
