Stumbling Through a Symphony

Truth be told Majima was pretty idle right now, halfheartedly using his paw to play with the cat. Who he'd decided to name Tora because he was nothing if not bereft of imagination. A few of his siblings had been trickling back in after searching for their mother... A task he'd always assumed would be in vain. Jiro didn't seem to have taken his failure particularly well and Majima wasn't sure how to try and help his brother. Partially because he had the emotional maturity of a snail and partially because he couldn't deny feeling like it made little sense for anyone to be upset they'd failed a task that had obviously been impossible to begin with.

The tell-tale rattling of the bamboo, subtle but a sound he'd long since learned to listen for announced the approach of one of the clan and the scent told Majima it was another of his brothers. Lifting his head to watch, Majima let out a soft bark of greeting as he spotted Takeji but otherwise remained silent. Unsure if his brother was simply moving through of was looking for someone or something.
