Empty Room

The elder looked down at his partially eaten rabbit and then back up at the approaching Destruction. A whine threatened to escape from his muzzle as Bane choked back the sorrow sound. This is what his life had been reduced to. Reduced to major amounts of small prey that didn't amount to anything by themselves and at the rate he caught them. Constantly cold due to no other to huddle against and having to stay near the river for a constant supply of water to fill his stomach that his prey simply wasn't doing. No real family had come to see him yet too, a hard sniff being given even as Des lay against him. He tossed the rabbit's ragged remains away to the side and closed his remaining eye with a shaky breath as he placed his head on top of pale forepaws. "Your wrong Des, I've lived a lonely life in my younger, happier days selectively... this is forced loneliness."?

Bane could feel her touch on his blind side and let out a sigh as his once-mate rambled on about his family that hadn't visited him and here she was, chatting it up like he was his old self with his old habits and quirks. The place where her muzzle pressed into his cheek tingled and Bane couldn't help but think of lost comforts and touches that were so easy to ask of Tahlia once upon a time. Destruction shot his desires down quickly enough, as was expected of them both, the elder however feeling a twinge of anger and frustration as to how she came to him with her current condition.

The so called rain cloud above Bane's head darkened even more when Destruction brought up his second banishment from a pack. A muffled sob creaking out between Bane's muzzle and he clenched a brimming eye causing the tears to fall along his cheek fur and freeze in the snow. She spoke of Dillinger, and if he had been alive and allowed into the elder's life than maybe he wouldn't have gone after Nako? Was that what she was trying to say? Dillinger... Dillinger was just another dead pup he had sired. Bane's body quaked as a shaky breath was finally taken in. All the bad stuff, why was she bringing up all the bad stuff?
