You Saw Me Standing Alone

The very moment the meeting ended, Voltage would move instantly towards the den he and Gaia shared. It was instant, he wouldn't even wait, he needed to make sure she had arrived home safe and sound, and apologize profusely for leaving her behind. She had to understand, he hoped. There was certain things he needed his siblings for, and this was one of them. So with a gentle sigh he moved across the beach, stopping before it to see if her scent was fresh. The second he knew she was there he quickly ducked in, stormy eyes wide as he approached her. Without a word, he'd settle in beside her, pulling her close to his side. Since the moment they had left, he and Gaia had gotten close. He knew for sure that he loved her dearly, and he couldn't imagine another at his side. He'd nuzzle close before sighing softly. "You know.." He said softly, his voice gravely and tight with all the emotion he felt. "Up untill the moment we stepped foot on that island, I wouldn't trade it for the world." He'd attempt a joke, moving to nuzzle his nose into her neck fur and breathe in her scene.

"Gaia.." He said softly, eyes closed tightly. "Please, understand that I needed to get home to Glacier as soon as possible."  Half of the pain he carried from the island was knowing that his siblings would be equally as hurt and angry with the news. They would never get the answers they seeked, they would never be able to know if their parents truley loved them or not. "I only went ahead because I knew you would make home safe and sound...Freewing would watch your steps." He whispered, sighing softly and opening his eyes slowly to stare at his rock collection in the corner. "I have never been apart from Glacier for more than a day, Gaia...and after seeing...them, I had to get to him as soon as possible." He whispered, falling silent and nuzzling close, hoping he hadn't upset her. It was him that asked her to take the trip with him, so it wasn't really fair that he had left her behind.
