In the dark of the night, a light shines

He had headed back home with Beauregard as Bellatrix went about setting things up with her pack… but they had lingered here, in the place that had once been the home of Norad. Beauregard seemed to be filled with bittersweet memories of the place… and why wouldn’t he be? He had raised his family here, and had begun strengthening Trixy’s skills here. Gavroche understood his sorrow, and why he would miss this place. The cloaked male told him to take the time that he needed to grieve, and had settled somewhere near the base of the falls, listening to the water as it cascaded down below where it would continue its journey.

Gavroche had been doing a lot of thinking. Of the harm his aunt had received, of the trouble between them and the Raiders… more than anything he wanted to do better, to be a better defender for his home… but right now he feels useless. He had failed his brother Baecette… and that loss still weighed heavily on all of his family. Gavroche lets out a soft sigh, ears falling flat as he glances up through the trees at the night sky.

Tonight things are different within it, a wave of colors wagging back and forth above the trees. It is beautiful, greens and blues, purples… it reminds him of his dear friend Bellatrix almost. A sad smile comes to his face… would her having a pack mean it was goodbye once more?

Then, almost as if the world can sense his question, a call is made. Gavroche lifts his head and turns it toward Bellatrix as she calls to him, and the cloaked male lifts a paw and waves it at her. “H-Hey… your dad is off looking at some stuff so I’m killing time here. What brings you back this way, Trixy?” He asked.
