He laughed softly at the children comment, but didn't say any more. No one could match his level of energy. Even now he felt it coursing through his veins, fueling his emotion and making him want to fidget. No matter how energetic the children could be, he was positive he'd always match or overcome their energy levels. And reguardless of whether he could keep up or not, he would do his best. He would never abandon them. Never... But oh, he wished he could be like Glacier and make light of it, or push the worry away until they had something to worry about. But he didn't operate like that. He couldn't. There was so much he had to feel, so much he had to work through. He felt Glacier pull him closer, listened to his ever soothing voice again. And yet, this was something even logic couldn't clear up. Voltage felt so strongly, he couldn't even think straight. He just felt. So when his brother's arms drew around him, holding him tight, he sank into the warmth. His breath seemed to freeze in his throat as he choked on sadness, his eyes screwed tight. "I still...I still don't like being away from you." He hiccuped, finally letting those words out. He didn't want to leave, didn't want to be away from Glacier, but he had to. But Glacier was right, this allowed him time away with Gaia. "Don't b-be surprised if we're hitched when we get home, then." He said, with a pout. He could act very childish sometimes, especially buried in his brother's fur and holding back the sadness. He carefully shifted, lifting a paw to rub the back against his cheek. He couldn't help it, this was something far too new. "I can handle being homeless, Glacier....taking on the responsibility of the family, searching endlessly for a home...but I-I can't.." He clenched his jaws then, feeling his eyes water as he closed them tightly, pushing his nose into Glacier's fur as he simaltaneously pulled Voltage closer. "I was able too..because you were with me." He muffled into his fur, his whole body tense and tight as he fought the tears away. He couldn't cry, he couldn't. He had made this decision himself. But he wouldn't have had too, if their parents were more responsible! It was all their fault. It always was! "I'm so weak.." He whimpered, despite his brother's affection, despite how he tried to carry Voltage through his stormy emotions. He couldn't handle it, but he had too. It was his responsibility.
