Can't save me

He didn't mind the silence as it settled over them while they looked out at the ocean ahead of them. Feeling at peace wasn't something he could say he was very familiar with, but this was maybe the closest he had gotten in a while. Part of him knew that he should be getting back to Ashen just on the off chance that someone might notice his absence, but he also found it a bit hard to leave Void's side. His desire to constantly tackle whatever issue or obstacle put in front of him told him to start his hunt for Void's family immediately and it took a bit of wrestling with himself to remind his own mind that it couldn't be his priority. Mending his relationship with his own family and finding his footing within the pack had to be paramount, but he most certainly would keep an eye peeled for this Eulogy and Desolate as he went about his life and could be an extra set of eyes in another part of Boreas that maybe Void didn't frequent. It was hard to tell himself that was enough even though logically he knew it was more than most strangers would offer to one another.

After a comfortable stretch of quiet only broken up by the sound of the waves in the distance and the occasional chirp of a cricket, he finally let his emerald gaze shift again to look at Void's face. Once again that unexpected pull and draw fell into place and a slight twitch of confusion pulled at his features before he could stop it. It was just a brief, momentary flash of emotion that slipped through before being hidden behind the smooth, stoic expression he usually wore. Of course they weren't complete strangers, but two chance meetings were surely not enough to justify such a reaction. Plague knew there were other powers in the universe that he did not understand nearly as well as some of his sisters, but what purpose would they have bringing the two of them together? Did he dare question them? Or was he thinking far too deeply about something that could just be summed up as an odd bit of emotion between two wolves that happened to meet at vulnerable points in their lives?

Far too many questions to fully be processed this late at night swirled in his mind and only served to deepen the conflicted confusion pulling at him. Without meaning to, that natural pull physically brought him closer, causing him to lean toward the blue-eyed man till their muzzles had a small space separating them. From this close it was easy to pick up on the lavender sheen that the moonlight brought out in Void's eyes and Plague had a hard time pulling his eyes away from his unique, intriguing gaze. Reality came crashing in and with a flick of his ears he quickly leaned back again, looking toward the ground with a hard swallow. "Sorry," he muttered as he got to his paws, suddenly feeling like being here was pulling him in directions that he wasn't sure that he was prepared to go. He turned to go back toward home, but he hesitated, giving Void another glance though he avoided meeting his gaze. Questions still gnawed at his gut, many of which he was sure wouldn't find an answer tonight, but maybe one of them could. "Would you... want to see me again?" It was a question that felt loaded and felt strange even on his own tongue, but once it was out in the open air there was no taking it back.
