Dead inside

"Talk" Walk

He watched her with cautious curiosity, wondering why she thought she was being stupid. He had never really encountered a situation like this when it concerned a stranger, so he tilted his head and softly spoke, "Why do you think you're being stupid? We all have feelings," He carefully moved to sit beside her, but not too close. He didn't want to invade her space if she wanted it. He sat with her in silence for a while, staring up at the sky and focusing on the stars. It was quiet as usual, the sound of silence surrounded them and he breathed in quietly before exhaling. She seemed to be feeling something really strong if it hurt her this much. What had she been through that she often cried like this?

"Yurei...not many others know this, but..." He shifted his paws and took another deep breath. "My father left me and my siblings when we were really young. He abandoned his pack while my uncle Ace and I were out training for a few days, left my sister on the mountain to die...she almost did but...we got there in time to save her." He cleared his throat before continuing. "I saw him a couple times after that, and the last thing I said to him was pretty much how much I hated him for what he did, and then...my uncle killed him shortly after he started Winterfell."

He shot a quick glance at her, knowing how bad that probably sounded without a bit more context. "But he didn't kill him just because he abandoned us...my father...he did a lot of bad things to a lot of others. He hurt a lot of people, including my mother before I was born. My half brothers Cloudburst and Tyranis...my dad um...raped their mom...and my mom...I have older brothers from my mom...and he probably did the same thing to others but I don't know who they are." This was probably the first time he was telling anyone who wasn't family or his best friend about this. But he wasn't sad about it anymore. He had come to accept it, and he never had a strong bond with Elias after he abandoned them and left his sister to die. "My uncle killed him so he wouldn't be able to hurt anyone else."
