[[Ooc:: XD I kept meaning to pm you and ask but I forgot. Since you have limited time at the moment and I want to get get this thread moving again I'm just going to improvise. If anything seems too off though don't be afraid to ask me to edit!]]

The doubt and anger that came with the female's initial reaction stung. No... it didn't just sting, it hurt, and it hurt worse than any wound he had ever received. Not even the day he had almost lost his life with his parents and their sister, the day he had been covered in so many wounds, did he feel this level of hurt. It was deeper, more raw... and Arwel couldn't help but give a short whine. It was the truth. Oh God it was the truth and he so desperately wanted her to see it, for her to remember. Amnesia... she must have had amnesia. But... how could he get through to her? His only living family member... and she didn't believe him.

Aqua orbs would stare at her with such hurt and longing, expecting her to lash out at him and drive him from her pack's lands. But instead a miracle would happen. Something must have stirred within his sister's mind, bringing back the breath of a memory, something that would call out to her heart and tell her he was speaking the truth. She would remember him. The tears that streamed from her eyes told him something indeed had stirred, and he would nod his head, relief washing over his face as his own tears, happy tears started to slide down his cheeks.

"Yes, I really am. I really, honestly am." He wanted to howl to the heavens, to thank those above that his sister believed him, that she remembered him. But as his sister would sink to her haunches she would ask about the day that their world as a family had been taken from them. Arwel would settle down as well, letting out a deep sigh. As he suspected before the poor young wolfess had amnesia. She couldn't recall her past before waking injured. By the sounds of her injury there left little doubt as to why that was. With a small sigh Arwel would begin to explain a past he had tried to forget.

"It was a rather typical day for our family. You see... we weren't part of a pack. There were the five of us; mom, dad, you, me, and Kaye. We were hunting together, but unfortunately it had crossed into the borders of a pack. We didn't notice we strayed across the borders until it was too late and a patrol from the pack found us. They acted without mercy -- attacking us without giving us any chance to explain ourselves. We would fight, but we were simply no match for them." Arwel would let out a sigh.

"One of the times I was knocked to the ground, somehow, I had sense enough to stay there. We were all getting hurt pretty badly, and I knew if I was going to have any chance at making it out alive I had to pretend that I was dead. It took some time... but eventually they finished with us and left. I got to my paws and checked you all... you were all so still... I thought you were all gone... so I left in search of help. I was lucky enough to run into an elderly female gathering herbs outside of the borders of that pack, and with her help I was able to recover." The male would shake his head slowly.

"I should have checked you all more closely... I'm so sorry... Meili..." He felt horrible that he hadn't been there for her... for any trials she had undergone since that horrible day. Arwel would rise, moving forward, and brought hooked one paw around her body in a hug. "I'm so glad that you're alive... It is truly a miracle, and a wonderful gift of those above that I was able to meet with you again."
