brotherly love

Venom was a patient woman, she could enjoy a few quiet moments as her voice faded and his attention was centered on cleaning the blood from his fur. She relaxed easily next to him and waited for him to eventually speak. He didn’t look up at her when he did eventually let the words tumble from his lips, and Venom could tell there was much left unsaid. He should have been content where he was, but he hadn’t quite gotten there yet. She didn’t know if he could.

He lifted his dual toned gaze up to her, though only one eye really focused on her before he continued. Venom hadn’t and wouldn’t interrupt his train of thought as he went on. Now he only really had his family to rule over now, and Venom could easily put herself in his place. She had led Ashen since she was a very young girl, and the memories of the two of them in their youth liked to crop up. Not only did he not have as much responsibility, but Ashen had become quiet and reclusive. Peaceful even. And Chimera wasn’t one to live in peace.

"I dare not try and tell you what to do,” she began carefully. "I had hoped you would be able to relax and find peace with your family here in safety.” She admitted softly.
