The Ties That Bind Us

The days seem to fly by Haydée, each one so fleeting that she hardly seems able to grab ahold of it before the next one begins. With the return of Corbin and his injury that requires him to be off his paws for a bit, the girl had taken time to tidy up his den and help him get settled back into pack life. It is a brisk autumn morning when the young woman seeks out her brother, intent on checking in with him. They have each handled their father’s death differently and Corbin had been the first to find the dismembered remains of Gavroche.

During the transition of Ethne’s leadership from Bellamy to her paws, the girl lost track of several of her siblings and how they were coping. Corbin seems to have taken Gavroche’s death extremely hard and Haydée regrets not keeping better track of him. Sure, he had needed to explore away from Ethne but she still should have tried to check in. With a small sigh, she reaches the entrance to Corbin’s den and pauses, gently calling out, “Corbin? Mind if I come in?”

Poking her head inside, she checks to make sure that he is actually doing what Dorian had recommended and staying off his paws but, knowing him, Corbin probably wasn’t resting.
