couldn't do it without you

This was still home no matter what had transpired or might happen in the future, so long as Twig was here. He had no idea where they might go from here but he knew they'd figure it out together. There were a few things he needed to do first before he could focus on that though - namely figuring out where Theory had gone and what the rest of Abaven intended to do. He still had family here he cared for deeply and ensuring they were all safe was a high priority for him. Ultimately, it didn't matter what they called themselves or if they had borders to defend, so long as they were all safe and content, whether together or apart.
He breathed a tired but contented sigh as she leaned into him, feeling some of the pressure that weighed heavily on his shoulders slip away. He knew it would return but for a short while, he was glad to pretend Twig was all that existed in the world, the brilliant sun around which he orbited. Forever a light in the darkness of the world. "I'm glad to be back too. I lost track of Theory's scent as I went further west, but her scent was fresh enough for me to know she's alive." He wished she could say she was well but he truly feared she was not. Whatever had overcome her he had no idea, but he knew deep in his heart she wasn't in her right mind, but he wouldn't rest until he found her.
Dwelling on things they couldn't solve right now wouldn't do any of them much good though. Leaning to give her another gentle kiss on her cheek, he settled down and let his attention drift to the fire she'd begun to prepare. "What's for dinner?" The simple things with her still brought him joy, no matter how dark the rest of the world might be, and he was eager for a good meal after his long journey home. Already he felt the fatigue begin to set in as soon as he sunk down to his stomach.
