   Skoll couldn't withhold an inward smile at her words. It just...seemed very fitting, that Phoenix's daughter would think that way. It was a little alike himself, he knew, but it reminded him of Phoenix, also, who had struggled to take care of everyone at once after Gibraltar had gone. It was...just very apt that Ember felt that way, he supposed. With a modicum of cuteness in the fact that she felt that way when she was still so young. Being positioned a little behind Ember, and with the girl speaking and the woman listening, he knew they would not notice his silent musings. He stood at attention as the two spoke and their conversation went on, trying to predict where this was going. A drawn out plea for acceptance, it seemed, though Skoll did not understand why Tayui was prolonging the process. She had behaved strangely of late, and he wondered if she had led the pack the same way back when she was the alpha of Jaded Shadows, or if this new side of her was one born of negative experiences in her old life, before the burning. "Learning about one's self is included in all walks of life," he cut in, not gleaning from Tayui's posture that he was supposed to continue his silence. "Though this may be the only pack anymore where you won't find a sibling, I can't say." It was sad that she was having this dilemma, Phoenix had been the father of many children, biological and no, and it would be difficult for her to escape from that. It was an experience he had little knowledge of, despite his years, having not seen his own siblings in so long. ~The lyrics are from the best song ever written. |
