gone too long

Again Avacyn was quick to wave off any apology he might have had. He grinned slightly at her, appreciative of just how easy going she really was. Though how she followed up Albion couldn’t have expected in any way at all. Scylla was no longer in Elysium. The grime fell from his features and he went deathly quiet as she explained just what had happened. They would leave the head where it lay and continue on, Albion somewhat uncertain as they strolled forward.

Instead of starting with why his sister had gone Avacyn spoke about herself, how she and her brother had lost their first litter of puppies. Albion was quite surprised, and offered a look of condolence. Avacyn blamed herself for the loss, but she had been proactive about it too. She went on to explain that Scylla had agreed to be a surrogate.

He couldn’t say that he knew his sister’s mind, further yet he couldn’t admit to being as close as they once were. Still, he couldn’t have guessed she would do something like that. She explained what happened, that afterwards Scylla couldn’t stand to stay in Elysium and was now somewhere around Valta.

Albion didn’t know what to do, or say. He remained silent and still for a few long moments as he digested her words. "I’ll at least have to go speak with her.” He admitted ot her as she released him should he so choose. She knew the importance of family, especially to the Klein siblings. "I’m not certain what I’ll do yet though. With my father here it would be difficult to take up the life of a loner.” He went on, still uncertain about all of it.
