A moment to discover

Arcus hadn't meant to say that her way of thinking was wrong, and if he had known that's what she thought he would have quickly stepped back and tried to explain it better or even apologize. He had merely mused. But perhaps it was his less than gentle nature coming out. Arcus didn't know how to sugar coat words, so much, and he tried to tell the truth...and that often came out sharper than expected. But he listened again, intently as Shaye began to explain and discuss exactly why this Rhythm went to the other pack. He'd hum again, perhaps more out of habit than anything else, so much so that he didn't even notice it. "Reminds me of Voltage." He rumbled almost bitterly, before he shook his head, not wanting to dwell on his own problems when she obviously had her own things to deal with. So he would pause, stopping his pace to look at her. Jaws would part slightly before closing as he sighed, trying to figure out how to word this.

Then he'd smile softly, stepping up closer to Shaye. "Look, Shaye.." He said softly, his voice a deep sound as he looked down at her. "I spent....pretty much a year not talking to my family. Infact I..." His brows would furrow then as he glanced down at the ground a moment. "still haven't...spoken to most of them. But that's beside the point!" He said quickly, shaking his head and looking back up at her. He'd try to meet her bright blue eyes with his own, his lips set in a hard line as he tried to help. "You don't wanna end up like me. If you keep this within you...it'll get so out of your control. It could damage what you have with your Auntie, it could shadow your view of her. I know you want to...to save her from any more strife, but from what I understand.." He paused then, sighing softly. "It seems your family that..that had been angry at first...they reacted out of anger. Which can be, well, really sharp and hurtful. But you, Shaye, you're reacting out of care..." He smiled warmly then. There was something about Shaye that just settled his storms, and it was this very thing, he knew. She cared so much... "Your auntie will want to know exactly how you feel, especially if she cares about you as much as you care about her..."
