All I've Ever Wanted

Not a single word would come from Aranya as she approached. Immediately Birch would notice the changes... the loss of weight... how she moved with a sense of loss... her silence. Birch moved to her, giving a worried whine as he checked his sister over. What had happened in his absence? She had stopped caring for herself as she should... and... he would breath. Nuka's scent was so faint... had... had he abandoned her? The thought made Birch's stomach turn. How long had Aranya been alone? How long had she been suffering like this? The male would let out another whine.

"Aranya..." This was not a time for lecturing. Deep worry reflected in Birch's eyes. His words were pained with worry for her. "Oh Aranya... when did you last eat? Or drink?" He wouldn't mention Nuka... no he had to make sure Aranya was taken care of first before any sort of news was shared.
