Letting you all down

Lili had been beating herself up over the news basically since her father had given it to them. She'd been more or less absent, wandering far afield of Lirim since they'd returned from the island and she couldn't help but feel a little bit irresponsible now. Like she somehow could have been doing more to find her missing family. But the truth was she had been chafing under the expectations her rank had put her in, because she quite frankly hated the idea of being stuck in one place.

Now though? Well now she'd give up her freedom to get her mother and brother back in a heartbeat. So it wasn't a surprise when her father called for the pack and Lili was uncharacteristically quick to respond, sneaking her way in beside her brother and sister near their father, leaning against Aryn's smaller form to try and comfort her sister. She knew what was coming, but for now all she wanted was to feel like part of the family, for maybe the first time in a long time.
