-- feels like forever

Angeal listened, ears pricked in Sephiroth's direction, as the younger male spoke. A flicker of guilt raised its head in his mind at the confusion in Sephiroth's words, but Angeal shoved it down forcefully. He would not allow anyone, not even one of the few wolves that he had trained, to ruin the perfect life that he had created here. He was not the wolf that Sephiroth remembered, and Angeal was sure that Sephiroth was not the wolf that he remembered. They had both changed. And perhaps Sephiroth had changed for the worse. There was no telling. But he wasn't going to let him mess up his future; his family.

It was only after silence had reigned for a few moments that Angeal stirred, ears pinning back against his skull. "She may be dead," Angeal muttered, half to himself. He had left his mother and siblings to die. He truly was a monster. He deserved everything that life had thrown at him and more. "I . . . thank you. For telling me. And I'm sorry that I left." Was he really? Angeal wasn't sure, to tell the truth. If he had left, he would have never met Liste. He would still be a monstrous warrior, twisted and tainted by the wolf that had brought him into this world.

Guilt. It was uncurling in his mind like a vicious monster, poking at the dustiest corners, at thoughts that had left him alone for a long, long while. He had abandoned his family to die. He was a monster. "And Zack?" He named the puppy with a thoughtful note to his words, all but certain he would hear another story of death and destruction. This one, at least, Angeal was prepared for, right?
