gather round me {ASHEN MEETING}

He heard belle's call but he took his time. In his head and heart, she betrayed his father. She got knocked up, and he couldn't help but feel all the times she cried over Archon was for nothing more than a show to get sympathy. While he couldn't be sure about that, he didn't remotely have any empathy for anyone else save for Tox. Even when Pestilence had tried to bring him down with her words, he had beat both her and Venom's asses and he'd done it fair and square. On his own. Unlike them. He held no remorse for Pestilence, that much was obvious. And after she tried to claim he was an orphan, he couldn't help but laugh. technically her mom was his mom too, though unrelated, she was his stepmother whether she liked it or not since she had married his father. While he would have loved to shove that fact in Pesto's face that day, she wasn't worth wasting his breath on. The boy finally would arrive at the meeting and he immediately went to sit next to Tox. He glanced down at her healing sleeve, a curious and questioning glance cast towards her as he wondered what all that was about before he turned his attention to the alphess.
