the search party

They were working mind and body all day, and all three siblings could admit to how tired they were at the end of a long day searching. Void was trying not to feel disheartened, they hadn’t gotten a single clue yet, but they were still close to home. Maybe further out. Eulogy was notorious for getting herself turned around. That’s why he worried they were headed in the opposite direction entirely.

Spirit hoped they would have more luck tomorrow and Void felt the same. He’d always been so out of touch with his emotions when he was younger than exploring them now could be painful. He worried about their mother and siblings, and he felt anxious this whole trip would prove fruitless. ”Hopefully.” He agreed softly, and Gloom snuggled in tighter as she spoke up too. Heading Westward seemed like the best choice. Everywhere was cold and snow seemed constant, but surely Eulogy hadn’t gone north. ”There’s also packs up ahead. I might try and stop to ask some questions.” He didn’t have any hope on that front either, but it had to be worth a try.

”Do you have any ideas?” Void wanted them to be as involved as they were comfortable being. So far they’d settled into a natural and easy routine, but he was still new at any kind of leadership and wouldn’t discount their opinions.
