A moment to discover

(Set after Voltage came home)

South- Corpseghoul Swamplands

Arcus hadn't been able to properly sleep the night before. He had spent most of the time with Astrea, trying to calm her down and return her to the sweet, gentle state he had known. It was his first time ever really being there for his sister, or any of his siblings really, and he still felt awkward about it. He wracked his brain, wondering if he could have said something different, something better. Had he properly been able to calm her sadness? Was there something else he could have done? He also wondered if he should have fought his elder siblings a year ago, if he should have stayed on the island. Would he have been able to protect his parents from whatever evil fell onto them? With a heavy sigh he'd move, aimlessly, before he heard her call. For a moment, just a small moment, he had moved to ignore it, but he shook his head. No, Shaye would be able to turn his thoughts away from all this, he would be able to get a small vacation from it all.

So he moved towards her, his head low and his eyes downcast as he crossed the border. He stopped then, taking a breath before he lifted his gaze to her. "Shaye..." He said softly, his face devoid of the gentle smile she could pull from him. "I dont...think this is a good time..." He rumbled, glancing over his shoulder. What if his littermates needed him? Well, they hadn't up to this point, but he could...be some use right? He shook his head then, looking back at his new friend. His feather swung from its place behind his ear, showing that he indeed managed to fasten it in properly and wear it. Infact, he secretly adored it, his first gift. "No, never mind." He cleared his throat then, attempting to smile. "What's uh..what's up?"
