Somewhere I Belong

The young man would breathe out. He had been within Fiori for a little while now, and now the time had come to speak with the alphess, Epiphron, as to why he had chosen to come here. Why he settled within the pack. He missed his family, but he knew that settling down was the right decision. Cypress kept thinking about them, about his parents. Were they watching over him now? Were they watching over Laria, wherever she might be? He hated thinking that she might be gone. That she was on her own path. But at the same time he hoped she was somewhere making a name for herself. Perhaps... perhaps she had even gone back to see their siblings.

It was funny... He didn't know how life worked, but since coming to Fiori he found a bit of peace. Talking with Arian had eased his heartache some. Arian was kind, though she bore her own scars and pain. She had presented a thought that was one that Cy agreed with. Fiori as a whole was their family. He would think of that, of how Pip had adopted the girl, and how she accepted him. Those thoughts in mind the young man would tilt his head back, calling for the alphess of Fiori.
