In a moment such as this Alder wished for the time when they were pups. Puphood was simpler, easier and their communication was easier and simpler too. Though they had so much connecting them, Alder felt as if he had drifted away from his family so immensely. He tried to think of the things that he had done that would make up for his empty feeling, the ranks that he had gained, the Cours members that he had met. It was more then he ever thought he would do, and yet it didn't make up for the fact that he was no longer a Crimson Dreamer.
He listened to his brother, leaning against the banister and trying to relax. All he gave to the comment was a nod, hoping that no one would find it odd that she had given him the necklace. It was nothing really, but he would wear it always.
Killed Made the boys eyes close, his body cringing slightly at the thought. It saddened Alder to think that there had been a murderer among them, well... his family's pack. And that Denali's life had been taken before his time was up. Anu had explained it to him, easing his woes and tears of a small pup, with calm and soothing words. Despite the fact that he needed to be an adult, Alder could not take realities such as this one. Its very unfortunate. He spoke, repeating words Anu had just told him.
But the air around them turned, becoming weightless once more. Blue eyes looked up at his brother's face, and he crossed the distance between them to take a good look at the mark. You think it will scar? Alder had thought him foolish for trying that as a small pup, but now with everything else that the world brought on them maybe tree climbing was nothing to worry about. That might be cool. He added, some thought scars made them look tough.
