I can't even save myself

He had been in Valhalla for over a season now, and had resigned to say that it was his home. Home, however, it would truly never be- until he found Vriel and Vaziel again. Without them, he felt lost- even though he was actually meeting other wolves, and slowly getting to know the rest of his family. He chuckled to himself, as he patrolled along the border, wondering what Vriel and Vaziel would think of the rather large, Adravendi family, and what they would say and feel when they discovered that Cairo, the father they had searched for had passed. He hoped that he'd be the one to tell them, but gods, did he not want that responsibility. He took a deep breath, releasing it in a sigh, when he realized that he recognized a scent in the breeze. Vriel.
His ears flattened against his head for a moment, before pricking in interest. It was faint, but it was most certainly her. Feelings washed over him, relief, happiness and small bit of anger. Where in the hell had she been? He had been worried sick about her, and why wasn't Vaziel with her?! He lunged forward, his long legs pulling him into a lope towards the source of the smell. Any anger he felt, was washed away the moment his cerulean blue eyes landed on her familiar form. He didn't slow his pace until he was nearly face to face with her, and at her words- her plea that he would not hate her. Stepping over the border, he closed in on her, his muzzle extending to kiss the side of her face, his body turning to press against hers. "I could never hate you, Vriel." He murmured, his baritone voice soft, relishing in a pure display of affection. "You're alive. You're here." He whispered, pulling away from her to look at her- making sure that she was in one piece.
Once she had satisfied his inspection, his eyes trailed back to seek her own. "You made it to Valhalla!" He said with a smile, his tail wagging gently in the air behind him. He still wasn't gifted with knowing what to say in every situation, but this seemed to fit, at the very least it was all he could think to say. She was home, she was safe- and part of his family was back.
