I Could Be Like The Cool Kids

Eirik listened through a worrisome frown while Amarant recounted what he could recall before Colten's disappearance, which admittedly was not all that much. Amar seemed to have been gone for quite a while, allowing a big time gap in which his brother could have decided to part ways with no way of getting word of it to his brother. It was all very confusing, but not nearly so confusing as the news of this Ekko wolf and the pup Colten had apparently had. "Wait, a pup?" Eirik interjected, not even thinking as he interrupted his cousin's tale. Pup? Colten had a pup?
If he had been dumbfounded before, he was completely floored now. Pup! Good lord, the last time he had seen Colten, he had only been a kid. Hell, even Amarant was still a kid as far as Eirik was concerned, and it only made him even more confused. But as he considered the news, he thought he saw a possible scenario. Colten and this Ekko wolf must have left for the kid. Being loners was not the safest route a pair of wolves could take when raising their children. It was what had driven Eirik's own mother and father to join the packs that they had. And as much as he wanted to be mad at Colten for abandoning his brother, he could understand the logic. Assuming that was what had happened anyway.
The pale grey male sighed, once more shaking his head. "I'm sorry," he repeated, at a loss for what else he could say. It was just a really poor hand to be dealt, and it was unfortunate Amar had been forced to live with it, alone and waiting here for someone that was likely not coming back. "You've been okay though?" Eirik asked, his concern for Amarant returning with a gentle tilt of his head. His cousin had spent a lot of time on his own, fending for himself when he knew better how to live in a pack. He hoped dearly that nature was being kind to him.
