Reminiscing

Basilisk looked at his father carefully. He understood the hesitation in Azure, he knew it was no easy thing. He… wasn’t sure that Spider or Hazel would forgive him. He wasn’t that worried about the Warlord's opinion. Of the two leaders, his loyalty had been to Azure.

“I am thinking of my family.” He said, perhaps a little heatedly. ”There's a reason I didn’t enter the competition for your rank.” Your rank. It was still hard for Basilisk to consider it any other way. “I was busy. Searching for you. I looked for months. I spent more time away than I was at home. If I thought I’d find you, I wouldn’t have stopped. I already lost you once, do you really think I intend to do so again?” He asked his father, his voice soft.

“The Warlord can get another heir. He has enough kids to pick from. As for my family… I don’t intend for it to be forever. But I want to see where this leads me. I want to reconnect with you Dad. My place is at your side. At least for now.”
