The Point of Return

As Memento Mori explained that she wasn't entirely alone and that she had two companions that traveled with her that at least made him feel a bit better about the situation. Like his father he was always worried about his family and their well being and even though he had only just met her she was still his family so she fell in line with that for him. She settled in as she began to speak and tell her own story so he did the same, smiling softly as he gave her his full attention and enjoyed catching up with a long lost cousin that he was happy to have found by surprise. His brows lifted a bit with surprise as she talked about her mother and her expectations, mentioning the Abraxas family and revenge, and it began to make him wonder how much his father hadn't told them about their family and his life before he met their mother. It seemed like maybe Memento was in the same boat though as she said how her mother had never told her why they had been so set on such things so it seemed like it would all remain a mystery.

Listening to her talk about her older sister being with his father, how they had come back to her and her mother with their grandmother, it was like getting a glimpse into a side of his father he had never really known. It amused him a bit when she told him about how she had gotten herself into trouble when she was younger only because he was also a problem for himself when he was younger too—much to his father's dismay. It seemed like they both had to find themselves a bit, which she confirmed as she explained how she had come into her own a bit with her wandering. It was almost hard to picture her as some kind of rebel that would harass a stranger just from his initial interactions with her since she seemed so nice and well spoken, but she probably wouldn't have guessed that he had retaliated at his father the way he did when he was younger either. Everyone had their bumps in the road and it was just good that they were rolling past them.

He was pretty happy to hear that she didn't plan of leaving Auster now that she was back. That meant he'd probably end up having a chance to get to know her better and maybe even introduce her to the rest of the family—or at least what was left of it. It was like she was reading his mind when she brought up The Hallows probably being near by and questioning whether it would be weird to stay in contact with him. He grinned and replied, "I wouldn't want you to slip through the cracks either. It's not weird at all! I was actually going to suggest it if you didn't. I've never met any family outside of my siblings so it's really fortunate I happened to bump into you out here." He glanced back the way he came, pointing out the castle in the far distance on a hill top behind him. "My pack lives in that castle way over there. You're definitely free to visit and stay there whenever you want. We're very welcoming to visitors as long as they agree to stay peaceful while they're there." Bringing is pale blue gaze back to her again he gave her a wider grin, adding, "I'd love for you to come visit sometime. I'll give you a tour!"
