you got a reaction, didn't you?

Busy - weren't they all? Especially Voltage, he was no exception. Though their eventful lifestyles had prevented them from spending time together, today seemed to be the opposite as probably both of them had put aside hectic matters for the moment. Following his laugh, he arose the subject of "the news", a topic of which the healer knew well what his brother was referring to. After his ears had heard such words for the first time at the their previous meeting, he had tried to block it away from his mind. It wasn't particularly healthy to dwell upon the past, though it was rather depressing at times. His own relationship with his parents wasn't entirely close, after all, he had to hold somewhat of a grudge against them for kicking out all three litters of their spawn. Throughout his own childhood, he had always been an independent character, frequently exploring their previous home away from his parent's clutches, but that didn't mean he was apathetic towards their passing, no, that was too sadistic for the gentle male. Yet a dark thought remained somewhere in the depths of his mind, reminding him that his parents deserved their consequential outcome for expelling them from the island. However, what really worried him was his brother's recent attitude, like how he blamed their deaths on himself, which surely wasn't the case. "Oh, I've tried to not let it bother me," he responded to his brother's query with a weak smile before his words grew comforting at the sight of his brother's fallen gaze. Was he dragging the problem onto himself again? "You did everything you could, and it wasn't your fault. Death happens to be a natural process of everyone's cycle." In an attempt to provide the troubled leader with solace, he leaned closer to him so their flanks brushed softly. "I'm sure we're all proud of you."
