Together, we are so alone

Ulric believed that the life put certain individuals in his path at just the right time and this conversation with Aranea was just what he needed. He had been on an upswing after his trip to the falls and his conversation with Resin, but tonight he could feel himself slipping backward. It was helpful to be reminded that he wasn't as alone as he felt and to make another connection here in the pack. He knew that he could go to Resin or Tamsyn if he really needed help, but at the same time he didn't want to burden them when they already had so many to care for. His children did their best to cheer him up, but he didn't want to worry them. If anything, he should be comforting them. There was something to be said about being able to share with someone else that didn't rely on him.

"I appreciate that," he replied to her offer, a slight grin pulling at his lips as well. I'll certainly have to take you up on watching the pups sometime... though they're growing up so fast, they won't need someone to watch them soon enough." It was hard for him to believe that they were just over a season away from their first year. Time was flying by even though it felt like just yesterday that he was watching them being born. They walked in silence for the most part, but it was a comfortable silence that he didn't mind in the slightest. When they neared the castle his gaze catching hers again. "Thank you again... If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask." He stepped inside the castle and started making his way down the wing where he had his children lived, wearing a soft smile on his lips for the first time in a while.
