Alpine didn't like the feel of tension that sucked the life out of the air around them. He had a strong feeling that Crucifix didn't like him ? more then a feeling judging by the stares the other boy had given him before. It certainly wasn't fair on Twig, he decided that this was all happening around her, especially when her smile had come so easily to her lips but now was struggling to remain in place. The siblings passed on some words between each-other, and well Alpine strained to here he could barely catch it, all he heard was the word 'broken' and his heart sunk a little, certain that her thoughts where returning to Fern. How he wished... how he wished he had somehow saved that little pup. He would have very much liked to meet the daughter of his best friend, and to have saved Twig the pain of losing her.
Twig was moving forward now, and in that moment he could see also the sorrow and regret that passed, if only briefly across Crucifix's facials. It seemed that he too, realised where Twig's thoughts had gone, and was perhaps sorry for helping her get there. Twig stood confidently between them, her expression seemed to him to say, no mucking around. It seemed Twig was determined for the two brutes to get along, and Alpine could never let her down. ?Have I told you about Erion? He's a young boy of Valhala who's fighting training I've taken over. I've also been catching kill for some who can't, just general uptake of Valhalla I suppose? he said with a laugh, warming at the thought of the boy, who at this moment was stuck in his den with a broken leg going out of his mind with boredom. At least Alpine had tried to distract him from his boredom, and it had been good to see him again.
