Gotta Get Right Out Of Here

His sister's reply did nothing to ease his concern. If anything it only added to his questions. Pyrrhic gave her a questioning look but said nothing, knowing she'd explain herself in time. Likely she didn't want to repeat herself if she had the same thing to say to Eligos. It was the sort of thing he would do if he had something to say, and it stood to reason that Fel might be of a similar mindset. She didn't appear to be in distress or acting under any other stripe of urgency, and it wouldn't kill him to be patient.
Eligos arrived and was quick to voice the same concern, prompting Fel to launch into an explanation. His gaze flicked to Eligos as Fel asked if he was alright, but even though he wondered too Pyrrhic opted to remain silent and let Eligos answer when the time came. It wasn't his place to share the things he knew. The quick mention of Aureus stung him; but time really was the ultimate healer of wounds and the heartache he felt was manageable now somehow. Knowing he was surrounded by wolves who shared his grief and knew his pain enabled Pyrrhic to swallow hard, accept what he felt, and remain grounded in the present. He would never forget his brother or his father, and he had no qualms with admitting he might never get over their losses, but he would live with it.
Pyrrhic's ears pricked in surprise at the mention of two. Non monogamy wasn't exactly a new idea for him. He himself had no qualms with taking another spouse should the opportunity present itself, but he would consider it purely for its procreation benefits. As a male (and as an Abraxas) he could father multiple litters a year and would benefit from multiple partners for that reason. Fel, being female, could not, and the lack of utility was why he had never considered any of his sisters or female relatives having multiple mortal partners at the same time before. It just didn't make sense from a practical standpoint. But did the lack of practicality deserve his ire? Probably not. The idea that his sister might be a one brood bitch in a pair for a mortal male, however, did so he waffled on a reaction. He didn't know enough to be outright affronted so he kept his emotions close and did his best to sort them out with what little information he'd been given. If it was two females, fine, two males...? Pyrrhic would be stewing on this for awhile, that was for certain.
His uncertainty on the topic of Fel's love life aside, the revelation that she wanted to leave garnered an immediate reaction. Pyrrhic jerked back as thought struck. That did sting. They were a family and his first reaction was to feel as though she was leaving them. Rejecting them. For that reason he started with trying to get her to stay. He had to, didn't he? She was his sister and he would fight for her. "If they aren't pack wolves," he said slowly, trying to come up with a reasonable compromise that didn't involve Fel leaving, "Why can't they come here? Join our family? That way if you decide to start a family you have us to lean on."
