I feel so untouched

Nikolaos had left somewhat later than his siblings, having had to stay behind to endure some insignificant speech about the importance of this mission and how he should not get distracted and should remain focused bla bla bla... Why on earth his father felt the need to have such a talk with him was beyond his understanding of course, he was sure that the others would secure whatever it was that they needed to secure. They were all very focused and brave and strong and whatever. He huffed to himself, a chuckle at the mocking tone his thoughts had taken on.

Truth be told he had already forgotten whatever this nonsensical mission was. It was not something he held in particularly high importance, but he would go along with whatever he needed to go along with. He was anything if not a team player. Especially with his family, as was expected. He did not want to be labelled as a rebel or anything scandalous. After all it was important to be loved by one’s family.

A loud and brutish sound caught his attention. It had a familiar tone and he grinned to himself. He was not an expert tracker by any means but at least he had been able to locate his family. His ears twitched as he sped up in order to catch up to his siblings. He would be grateful to stop this trek, he was in dire need of a bath. He was covered in sweat and dust and honestly it made him extremely uncomfortable.

He arrived to catch the end of Enyo’s sentence and his ear’s twitched in confusion, ”Family” he said by way for greeting and falling into pace with them. He glanced around and noticed a particularly important member was missing and he clenched his jaw in irritation. That meant that they would not be stopping any time soon. But he knew better than to comment. He did not want and backlash that would put him in a bad light, he wouldn’t want to be seen as one who complained.
