Laruku had been one of the few constants in his life. Even since he was a child, the older male had always been there, lurking about in the depths of Clouded Tears somewhere. Before the fire, if anyone had told Conri that Laruku was leaving, giving up, Conri would have laughed in their face. Now though? The younger male didn't know exactly what to think. Was the fire just an easy excuse to not have to take responsibility for a pack any longer? Ears flattened a moment at the thought as jade eyes danced across the beach. Maybe it was and maybe Conri put to much faith in others. Maybe, one day, he would end up just like the broken male near him. "We didn't know if you were okay.." He commented quietly, feeling his stomach suddenly twist. Because, even if Laruku didn't want to admit it or simply didn't want it at all, there were still people that cared about him. "Didn't know if you even made it out.." The words came grimly, shaking his head once. He could feel himself tearing up. Breathing in sharply, Conri took a moment to gather himself before finally speaking up again. "Naniko and I have a place southwest of here. Twilight Vale, we've called it." He wasn't even sure if Laruku cared to know. "About ten members strong now." Somehow, somewhere, Conri hoped that Laruku might be proud of him. Who else did he had to be proud of him? "Just because we've grown doesn't mean we don't need you.." He paused a moment, finally turning his head to face the older male. "Or that we don't want you around.." Conri already knew that it would never happen though. If Laruku wanted anything to do with their pack or their home, since he knew they were fine already, he would've shown up. "We know less about the world than you think. Not even two months in and I've already started a war.." Was it a war? Would Inferni attack? |
