It was more the circumstances than anything else that brought the pain to the situation. His ego was wounded and his family had been taken from him, their separation had been decided by a man who had no right to control such factors. He had no plans for how to fix the problems but somehow a solution would have to be reached. Could he perhaps fight him again? Soliloquy wasn't sure if Valentine would bother with that, he had what he wanted after all, though why he sought the need to steal others families was beyond him. Perhaps if he understood the reasons for his actions it might be easier to put an escape plan in motion. Not tonight though, it had been a long day and if wanted any success he had to rest at some point. "I'm going to try sleep." He informed Isolde, nuzzling her head briefly. His own head still hurt to be honest, a decent sleep, if he ever got one would hopefully rid him from the ache. Departing from her side, he'd make his way back into the empty den, maybe that was part of the problem, no matter how dysfunctional it was, this was meant to be a family den, it belonged to the children more than it did him.
