renewal

His ears flicked back as Theory started to fill him in on what felt like just the beginning of what he had missed and his eyes shifted to the ground as sorrow crossed his expression. He was sure there was going to be many more bits of bad news that would have to be broken to him as he got settled back into pack life and slowly got back up to speed with everyone here, but that was a hard one to hear. Perhaps the part that hurt him the most was knowing that they were killed in such a tragic manner. It was easier to understand when someone passed from old age or in a more peaceful manner. No one deserved to pass in a way like that where it was sure to have been a terrifying experience. He sometimes lost track of how all of the Destruction family tree fit together and how far removed he was from any of them in lineage, but it didn't really matter at the end of the day. They were all family in his eyes and as far as he was concerned they had lost members of their family.

He was quiet for a moment, almost as if giving Shaye and Odysseus a moment of silence in his own way. When he spoke again he lifted his gaze back up to Theory's and tried to pull a small smile back onto his lips, but his expression was still more solemn than it was before. "Is there anything else I should know before I go get settled in? I'm sure there will be new wolves to meet and all of that."
