cha cha cha!
After Skye told her relatively short tale, she watched as Saul's face morphed into confusion, then what seemed to be...sadness? She wasn't sure; Skye was bad at reading faces. But she could tell that Saul was sad for some reason - perhaps his parents had died, or weren't with him anymore. She wanted to comfort him, but she also didn't want to intrude on his private life or bring up any bad memories that he may not want to share. Instead, she listened as he asked a question.
"Well, not really," she said. "It's a long journey, and the pack is so fragile..I don't want to be gone if someone needs me. But I will some time," she said, amending her lack of visiting with her parents. Saul was right - she should visit. If her suspicions were right, and Saul's parents were inaccesable, she should be grateful for hers. And she was. They had made her everything she was today.
"Do you have family nearby?" she asked gently. It didn't include his parents, necessarily, but the question she asked was open for aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, and any other family member she could think of. She didn't want to intrude on Saul's private life, and if he didn't want to answer, she wouldn't pry. Skye was a more private person like that; she didn't like asking personal questions if the person wasn't very close, but the conversation was slowly going that way, and she didn't want to avoid any questions if Saul did want to talk about these things.
