pick me up again (JUNIPER)

Things had been calm and Aithusa had to say he enjoyed the calm. His mind had been at peace, though he worried about his sister Laria when he learned she had not been with Cypress. He knew she knew their parents had passed on, and that concerned him even more. What if she went off the deep end and something happened to her? There was a pain in his chest as the silent man felt an eeriness in the air. He sighed. He should be happy, elated to find that not only did he have his brother, but he had nephews and a precious niece that he could dote on if he so chose.

He did not have a reason for not visiting them yet, but he decided that one of these day he would break the horrid habit. He let a small smile on his face as he wandered around the new territory.
