Walk | Talk | Think Rune said nothing as Akemi spoke of caring for her present child first, though he could understand her worry. With his family broken up, and after having witnessed what he had, Rune was surprised the child was not even worse off than he appeared to be. Silence and isolation were one thing, but the boy very well could have raced off on his own already, posing even more complications for his mother and the pack. It made the Guardian hope that there was something about Secretua, something about this paradise that he had been trying so hard to create, that might appeal to them, might give these lost children a reason to stick around and stay with their mother in a family setting that would help them rather than hinder them in the long run. The tattered but strong woman left with only a promise, and the burly grey wolf watched her go in silence. There was a loyal pack member, if he was being bold enough to think it. Taken in on a whim but so invested now that she could not see herself without the pack. A part of Rune was prideful in the revelation - after all, loyalty of this sort was exactly what he had wanted when he had striven out to stake his claim - but he was also relieved. Here was another broken family, like his own, only rather than seeing the pieces of theirs scattered to the far corners of the world he was giving them a chance to stay together, to be whole. It was more than his family had ever gotten. He felt oddly calm after the talk, despite the unrest he had felt beforehand, and with a new peace of mind the grey Guardian returned to his patrol, intending to finish it out in full to ensure the borders were free and safe before he returned to the densite to spend some much needed time with his own family. -Exit Rune- |
