I Won't Take The Easy Road [Kore]

Kore almost ran into the maned wolf and the young man feels greatly embarrassed that he hadn’t even registered that there was another wolf present. Blue eyes move to the catch the leggy woman’s violet gaze and he offers a small smile as she speaks. Dipping his head in quiet thanks and the galaxy-clad man lifts his head to turn his gaze to the surrounding area while he racks his exhausted mind for answers. Mind wars with itself as he wonders if he should tell her about Kal’s disappearance. Being a loner his whole life, the man has always had the tendency to want to do everything himself and decline any offer of an outsider’s help.

However, it has been months (or was it years?) since his brother Kalyke has gone missing and he has found little to no sign of him. Disheartened and verging on the edge of losing all hope, Kore begrudgingly decides that it is time to ask for some help. Folding his haunches, the man expels a sigh as he allows his weary limbs a chance to rest. Eyes blink slowly before he meets the stranger’s gaze once more and he slowly explains, “My name is Kore. I have… been looking for my brother. He went missing right before I turned one. I have been searching for him for the past year and I keep finding small clues but… nothing major.”

As he tells the story, the man feels the despite loneliness and heart wrenching worry he has carried for Kal for the past year welling up to an almost unbearable point. The lines around Kore’s eyes crinkle as desperation colors his gaze as the man wildly begins to hope that she can help him.
