His tone changed suddenly, and she felt a burning curiosity deep in her chest. Was he being purposefully vague about this pack? Why hadn't he told her which family members they would find in Imperium? "What?" she asked quickly, feeling a bit uncomfortable with his tone, unsure what it meant and why his demeanor had shifted so rapidly. She was fine with his ferocity and his rage -- she could take all of it without complaint. And yet this sudden seriousness, this sadness that crept into his tone, was not something Lysis was used to.

He explained that there had been a bear attack. Her hazel stare was guarded and she nearly flinched as he moved closer to her, her gaze unblinking as she listened to his surprising words. Her chest tightened, confusion washing over her at his declaration. Roman had not made it. And yet it was Drashiel's death that truly hurt the most; a stinging, piercing pain that gripped her heart. Slowly her jaw unhinged, and she felt panic flood her body. Her own littermate was dead? How was it even possible? Stunned into silence, she recoiled at Kyarst's touch, though only for a moment before she felt herself growing limp in his embrace. "No.." her voice quivered, void of its normal strength, painfully small and quiet as she leaned into his touch. Lysis felt her limbs quake beneath her even as she lay reclined on the earth, against her half-brother's strong grip. "What the fuck, Kyarst..." There was a bit of anger there, though sadness overwhelmed her suddenly and rapidly. Now, he truly was all she had left in this world and she regretted leaving him, not only because it had upset him but because she had never gotten a chance to spend time with Drashiel again, as they had as children.
