His audits laid back against his skull, the boy remaining still with one paw in the air midstep. His eyes grew wide as his brother had continued to growl at him, the sound growing louder as he had gotten closer. So he'd stop where he stood. His breath hitched in his throat, eyes going over the image of his brother, a little clearer then previously. He was a ghost of his former self...in a way, they both were. Rin thought that he would find his brother in his prime, but...it seemed that was not the case. He swallowed, the boy recoiling at his brothers harsh words. He had never forgotten his brother, never forgotten his family...was this one of the curses for having left? To be forever hated by his blood brother? Rin couldn't imagine any pain worse then what his heart felt now...or perhaps there was. And that was if Rin's mother hated him just as much. If not more.
He swallowed back the pain that threatened to choke him. his heart threatening to break through his chest. "I...I never..." What was he to say? That he had never forgotten? His brother wouldn't believe that even if it was true. Tears threatened to break the boy. He wasn't as strong as he thought he could be in this moment, but then again...had he ever truly been strong at all? "I...never forgot." He'd keep his eyes shut as he stared at the ground.
