What does family mean?

He didn't want a new family, he wanted his own mother back. His very own mother. Didn't have to share. His. But he ruined that, didn't he? He didn't deserve a mother, much less two. And siblings? Well, he didn't have any of those before and it was just strange. But he didn't deserve a family, so he hardly believed he deserved siblings either.

Bowen was an exception. She was there for him when he was brought back and he felt different towards her. Of course he didn't see her as a sister, but rather a friend. A friend he had to cling to in case he did something to hurt her, too. The rest of them, though? He didn't deserve siblings.

He was happily minding his own business outside of the den, investigating bugs and rocks and whatnot. Minding his own business. Not getting all up in someone else's business, unlike someone. Silver eyes rose from whatever had his current attention when his name was called by one of his 'siblings' and he was asked if he had time for a talk. Wasn't like he was doing anything else, couldn't the boy see that? "What do you want?" He asked, trying to keep his voice neutral although he knew this was going to be anything but a neutral discussion. He could feel it.
