beat and broken

Chrys lifted her amber gaze from the ground to his face when he nuzzled into her, pulling a soft smile to her features. She certainly wouldn't push him to talk about whatever had happened in his absence if he didn't want to and right now she was just glad he was here. The pack had felt increasingly lonely since their mother passed away, especially since she had spent so much time with her while she recovered from her illness through the whole first half of her life. She knew her siblings had felt her absence just as much as she had and she didn't think that any of them had fully recovered from losing her yet.

She quietly nuzzled against his cheek as well before refocusing on getting him home... or at least the only place they had to call home. "You can talk about it later if you want... but you don't have to," she told him as they walked, glancing his way with another smile. "I'm here for you." She had no doubt that if she needed him for anything Océan would be there for her as well, but she felt like she had to make sure her brother heard that from her.
