Everything Ends (Ebony Meeting)

Max hadnt seen Callisto come in, but he knew she was there. Her scent was currently intoxicating and hard to ignore though he would force himself to ignore her presence. Kassander's words almost made him forget that she was even in the area...almost.

His mind was more muddled now that it had ever been and his heart was so overwhelmed with feeling he was amazed it didnt explode. Sigmarr was gone. He hadnt been there to help the boy he considered a nephew. A boy who's birth he had helped along. He was furious at everything it seemed and yet grief held him in place. He hadnt spent much time with any of Raisa's children be it blood or adopted he had been there for all of their births.

Kassander's leaving had only added to his fury filled confusion. He couldnt understand why, everytime he began to put his trust into an alpha, they would leave. Why they would abandon their pack when they were needed. He could never understand Kass' grief for his brother as Maximous had never lost anyone so close to him before. Even now the pain was different for him.

Hell Katja had gone unnoticed until she began to speek. Still he could not pick an emotion to express so he fell back on his haunches and staired at her as if he were looking through her. Her words were prosessed slowly, and just as slowly Max would begin to calm his mind so he could think strait. Sigmar is gone, kass is no longer king, Ebony is no more.

Aside from those things, and the fact that he was still a bit frustrated with Katja for leaving Raisa's children in charge Max didnt want to leave. Ebony had brought him nothing but heart ake, maybe Yfir would be able to make him cold and heartless. Numb to anything that could further damage him. He would continue to be a healer for he new nothing else, but perhaps he would actually look into suppressing his feelings this time.

The two loaners who came incould have gone unnoticed had one of them not spoken as though Katja had forcibly taken the pack from Kass. This male got a hatefull glare the other simply got a quetioning look as he kept looking at the Olympian children. No words were spoken though...for once Max had no words.
