Walk | "Talk" | Think Though her answer was spoken with less sadness than he would have anticipated given the recent topic of conversation, it was still not quite as favorable as it could have been. "Here and there" could have basically been anywhere and nowhere all at once, and neither option spoke of very much protection or prosperity. Was this what she had been doing? Roaming around from cave to cave seeking random shelters and inconsistent prey to satisfy herself, to keep herself alive? And what sort of strangers might she have been meeting during these travels? Who watched out for her when she chose such a life of isolation and loneliness? The boy's brow furrowed itself yet again as he contemplated her response, still half thoughtful to offer her accompaniment back to his home if she decided it might suit her still. To his mind, it should have; it was where they had grown up, where their mother rested in the earth, the only home they had ever truly known of. And suddenly she was asking about that home again, though unknowingly, only curious where he himself had been staying during their absence. "Morphine took back Tortuga," he stated in explanation, "so I went back there." Never mind the fact what had once been a large pack was merely a shadow of its former glory, or that they were in desperate need of information regarding their neighboring packs. He was still far too attached to the place to consider painting it in an unpleasant light. "You wouldn't," he began to say but stopped himself, pausing briefly before pursuing the question anyway, "want to come back...would you?" He knew already that their mother's death was a touchy subject, and that what was left of her remained there inside the home he shared with the once-again Tortugan Imperial. But considering how nice it would have been to have more family living in the same location, how nice it would be to feel that semblance of wholeness from at least one of them returning, he figured it was worth a shot. OOC: Weird writing as if Tortuga wasn't disbanded and reclaimed yet. xD |
