I hope you're doing well
Half his body was simply ignoring it completely really, the only way for him to function maybe even normally was to act like none of it had ever happened. Vereux realized now how much it sucked for his mental health to have been so dependent on others and not himself. Now he was having a mid life crisis when he should have been well on his way. His body urged to see his old family again, they probably had completely forgotten about him. As for his sister in law, well she, no he shook his head. Stop thinking, he was here to figure himself out if anything at all. His paws curled around the dirt, so tempted to raise his head to the sky and scream, but he couldn't and he wouldn't. Though, as a scent so painstakingly familiar filled his nose, he would freeze in his tracks. Single emerald eye staring straight out in front of him, eyes locked on a small doe who was grazing. His fears would slightly be confirmed when she spoke, Vereux felt his heart drop as the doe bolted away in another direction. He would turn his head to the right so he could see her, trying to remain calm which he supposed she was probably doing the same. Perhaps he should have chosen a different place to relax himself, but this was good as well. Maybe this would help him figure out who he was supposed to be. Whether she enjoyed it or not he was still her brother, and a part of him wanted to make up for what he lost as a mate and be a better family member.
"Nice day isn't it sister?" he would respond softly. He wouldn't step on old wounds, he just..... wanted things to be normal. He looked at the tree tops swaying in the wind. "I came here to clear my head, and maybe catch a doe if I could, but when I got here I realized how stupid the idea was. I can't drag a doe back onto shore for my pack, or eat it totally on my own." Vereux chuckled, he hadn't thought his trip through.
