you feel so tired but you can't sleep

Almost as soon as he spoke, he regretted making his presence known at all. Maybe checking on her wasn't such a good idea; as an individual he didn't want to bother her, but as a fellow packmate as well as family member, he knew it was his due diligence to check on her... even if he doubted he could actually help her at all. She admitted she was okay, and he nodded in understanding. "I just heard..." His voice trailed off and he decided against elaborating. "I just wanted to check on you," he explained gently.
Though she said she wasn't up for company, she went on to say she missed her mom. "I'm sorry. I can go if you want," Corvus added quickly. The last thing he wanted to do was make things worse, but at the same time he wanted her to know he understood her pain, at least some of it. "I miss my parents all the time, so I get it. And my sister - she disappeared when I was really young." That loss had hurt more than losing his parents somehow, though not because he loved them any less. They'd seen him to adulthood and ensured he had the skills to thrive when they were gone. But Rhea had disappeared far too young, when she was only a child, and even now many years later he found himself wondering what had become of her. "I guess I just... wanted you to know you're not alone in feeling like that. And I'm always here if you wanna talk about it. Or just cry, that's okay too." Corvus wasn't really the expressive type, it never came easily to him, but now as he spoke to Poem he felt tears prickling at his eyes.
