no worries luff! SSWM : 412
Pripyat almost felt embarrassed once more when Xeris spoke of Inferni, showing her concern for the boy at the mere mention of the clan. Addison had told him to stay clear, had warned him, but he hadn’t quite believed her. Or had simply wanted to see for himself, he wasn't sure which. Either way he had gone and learned the harsh realities of the clan's hostilities on his own. How was it that they persisted? If so many seemed to realize their ruthlessness why didn't someone, or many someones, try to stop them? Averting his gaze momentarily, for he couldn’t quite meet the woman's gaze knowing that he was omitting details on just how bad the encounter had been, his voice was low and almost regretful. "It could have gone worse." The awful woman had pulled a weapon on them, and either Addison or him might be dead now but good fortune had been with them and they had both made it back to Phoenix Valley on one piece.
Looking back up at Xeris Pripyat gave the woman his full attention, staying silent as she spoke. There were very many words that came from the woman's mouth, but there were enough. And it was the way she talked, her tone, the inflections, that really spoke. That really conveyed the meaning. He remembered more clearly Xeris speaking of this same incident at the pack meeting and he knew that there were details she too kept to herself. Well that was both of their rights, to keep certain unpleasant facts to themselves. Perhaps such fact were before left unsaid at times, why be remind each other of all the awful things that happened in this world?
"I'm sorry Xeris. I'm glad you have come home now." And the boy was. Xeris was alive now in Phoenix Valley, their safe haven, and the boy couldn't imagine harm befalling them while they were in the safe confinements of their home. Xeris of course would have to struggle with the scars, both physical and mental, of what had befallen her, but hopefully the security that Phoenix Vallet provided would help those heal. With time they would surely heal. Yet Pripyat knew that although they were safe inside the pack land they couldn't ignore what happened outside of their home. Just as he had with Noah the posed a question he doubted anyone really had the answer for. "Xeris, why is there so much evil in this world?"
