Broken Hearts Still Dream Of Happiness

The pack is making their way to the island that they will be living on. Ricin is sullen, trailing behind his brother, when a break is called for. The light blue pup decides to slip away to find a place to do his sulking in peace. Long legs carry him to a breathtaking place where land seems to have been sculpted into a perfect gully that is home to many beautiful flowers. The boy slowly walks along, crimson eyes glancing around at different flowers. Since talking with Manea and Chade, the light pup has felt a piece of him is start to heal… but doubt still lingers in his mind. Everyone in their pack is a fighter or hunter… expect for Ricin. Heaving a deep sigh, the boy, once again, inwardly curses his own inadequacies. He hates that he feels weak, that he feels like Chade has watch over him all the time.

Kicking a small pebble in the grass, another sigh escapes as the light pup moves toward a cluster of purple flowers. Ricin tries to banish the sadness that seems tied to his soul, scolding himself to not be so childish. But… he is a pup still, albeit a slightly larger, moodier-than-normal one. Everything seems so daunting, so… impossible to the large pup. He makes it the tall purple flowers and dips his head to inhale their sweet scent. There is no word for this plant, no knowledge of what it is, but Ricin finds their aroma calming. The pup lays down in front of the flower, pulling it slightly toward him so he can inhale its sweet perfume when he needs it. Crimson eyes fall closed as he sticks his nose into one of the flowers and allows the sweet, calming scent to fill his nostrils.
