The Raging Storm

*Arcus* · 07-07-2015, 05:54 PM

Arcus would sigh softly, trying to smile down at her but it was hard. It was his first time hearing the news as well, but it seemed that attempting to help Astrea allowed him to push away the storms for a time. Soon, they would rage up, he'd be angry again, he'd be mad at his elder siblings for forcing him away from the island, he'd be angry at the world...but for now he had Astrea to take care of. It was an odd sort of feeling. So when she asked about the storms he laughed awkwardly and nodded. "Well, who else have I had to talk too?" He said with a small, weak smile, brows knitted before he looked out at the storm, watching the lightning flash over the ocean. The universe was not happy with their loss, either.

So when she asked about them not meant to exist he paused, reeling, trying to come up with a way to handle this. There had to be something, right? "Well, well I...that's what the storms said. We are strange, after all..." He said with a cough, looking out at the ocean again. "I mean, outside of us, have you met anyone who claims an element, who says something like...the plants speak to them? Our parents had to be something else, something...wrong. Glitches, or something..." He paused then, clenching his jaw and hoping she believed him. He didnt know why, but now that he was lying...he had to keep it up, right? It'd hurt her more if he laughed and said "just kidding!"

His ears pulled back as he watched her sisters, questioning his answer and demanding even more. She needed to know where she came from, he understood that. They were odd, it was obvious everyone had questions...and now they lost their only source for answers. So he sighed softly and nodded. "I haven't...spoken to Voltage in about a year.." He said softly. "I haven't spoken...to, well, anyone in about a year..." The lonliness he had felt crept up in his words before he coughed again, rubbing at his muzzle to hide it. And then she asked something that had slate blue eyes widening, his lips falling open as he stared at her. Of anyone who would go on an adventure, she was the last he'd think of. But she invited him! For a moment his heart swelled before he froze, anxiety creeping up on him. But before he knew it he was nodding, accepting the invitation. "I will go with you." He said with a small, weak smile.

Without a word and with nothing but a nod he took on the care of her gem. With nothing but silence he'd stand up, moving towards the necklace before he paused and looked back at Astrea. "I hope you know what you're doing, sister.." He said softly, his eyes sharp and serious. "Call me when you wish to leave...I have someone..to.." He paused looking down at the necklace. "Someone to say goodbye too." He whispered, swiping up the necklace and running for his den.
