Iroh had never been particularly close to Aureus, he was Pyrrhic’s twin but that was the extent he really knew him. Of course he was family and seeing the rest of his clan feel the sudden loss brought the reality of the event further home. These mortal bodies were just that. Mortal. Aure wasn’t much older than Iroh was, and unlike his brother hadn’t started his own family. Though iroh had seen him with that albino man more than once and had his own suspicions. Not that he would speak them aloud now, there was no need.
With how sombre Aerie was now Iroh found himself scouting the surrounding territories for fresh air. He was reminded all too clearly of what he was missing. His mother’s death and the quiet nature of his brother. How long had it been since Zagan had spoken to him? Iroh tried not to think about how alone he was in the world. He had his cousins, and they lifted him up and strengthened him, but his immediate family did not exist.
He was old enough now, and with his encounters with strangers, and Eli’s small speech at the… party, he felt like his work for the Abraxas name was lacking. He was expected to find a worthy mate and continue their god’s line, but Iroh felt a similar pull to have his own family. After he’d seen Tamsyn round with children he couldn’t shake the vision from his mind. Though he prayed she hadn’t birthed his pups. He found himself again seeking to emulate Pyrrhic, he needed to find a wife.
Of course his mind returned to Elise over and over again as his dark paws drew him further into the bright green briar. He followed a moose path so it was slightly easier to traverse than a deer or fox run. He followed along on auto-pilot as his thoughts raced. When he reached the clearing he had to pause. The waterfall gurgled softly and the sun’s warm rays filtered in softly. There would be no better place to sit and be alone with his thoughts. And tea. Sarabi was quick in building a small fire and warming water from the falls as Iroh made himself comfortable on the moss and closed his eyes to meditate over everything that had happened.
