Conri was always one to think that Laruku was just quiet and withdrawn, perhaps from the stress of life and Leadership. Of course, that was mostly because he hadn't the faintest idea of what really went on in Laruku's life, only what he could see from the outside. When did Laruku ever really let anyone in? Bracing his hand against one of the tree stumps, Conri began a careful descent to the ground, groaning quietly the moment that he had to lean forward to keep himself from falling. Settling there, he disregarded Laruku's depressing comment, bringing the hand that previously pressed against the tree to settle against his leg. "Inferni." He really didn't need to say more, he supposed, though it was mostly due to his own stupidity. It was suddenly a hard thing for the young Leader, a feeling that he simply didn't like, and he turned his head away from Laruku to gaze out across the beach. "You didn't even look for us?" He questioned then, a painful thing to think but even more painful to ask. Just like the rest of them, the men that Conri had to look up to in his life, they all disappeared or they were fakes. His father, Noah..and now Laruku? "I thought you died back there because we never found you and you never found us.." And, perhaps, Laruku did die back there, a long long time ago. Conri was just to blind to see it. |
