The Prodigal Brother

Thaddeus seemed to get second thoughts as the brutes face seemed to drain of all emotion, and that was never a good thing to happen. His brain then started to go on overdrive in a plan to get outta this without getting hurt, seeing that plan A was not thought through. Plan B started to form in his mind as the male's yellow eye's meet his blue green ones. Rouge backed up a step but stopped as the male jumped to his feet with a large smile on his muzzle. Thaddeus tilted his head at that point looking as the male called him by name.

It was only after the brute called himself Gargie did it all start to sink in. It was not possible, it could not be possible, yeah sure the brute looked like his brother but could he? When he was little it had taken Rogue a long time to come to terms with his siblings death, hell his first trip was him trying to find the wayward brother that everyone told him was dead but he did not believe it, for a body was not found after all, and in his mind he was still out there just lost, needing help back to his family. But as time passed Thaddeus Rogue gave up the search, knowing in his mind that his brother must be dead, why else would he not be able to find him... But it seemed his mind failed him, his heart had been right, because how can Thaddeus deny what was in front of him, what his nose was telling him, because now that he was faced with the truth his nose confirmed it, for it was the smell that lived in all of them.

Thaddeus again back up, his mind a swirl of failures and unbelief. If his brother was alive, why was he never able to find him? Rogue had traveled the world, he had searched high and low, never smelling a whiff of his brother, but yet here he stood, failure in the face. Rogue bowed his head then, his eyes downcast, it took him a year to let go of the brother he was thought dead, and in the time he had almost died, the scars on his left side was testimony to that. But than again it was him that lead Rogue on the journey that shaped who he was and He owed Gargoyle that, for if it was not for him Rogue would not have met 'little sister' and would not have become Thaddeus.

The black and white brute let the pain of failure fall from his eyes for there was no need for it, his brother was back, whether by his own paws or by someone elses and that in itself was joyous. His green blue eyes softened as he looked into his brothers eyes. "Of course brother, how could I forget who you are?" Thaddeus stepped forward, closing the distance between them and pressed his face below Gargoyle's chin, in a show of both respect and affection. It was then he notes how large his brother was, Rogue was no small boy and he was still a head taller. "Man Gargie, what have you been eating! Your a giant!"

Thaddeus seemed to lose four in a half years at that point because it was then he bounded away playfully. "Wait, wait don't tell me, Crusade has been fattening you up since you showed back up?" Rogue moved to his brother's side and pawed at his gut. "Would explain why you have gotten a bit more rounder then I remember. Maybe you should lay off that kill, we don't want you getting even more pudgy." Rogue turned back to his brother, showing a mischievous gleam in his haunted blue green eyes.
