He couldn’t stay away forever.
Pripyat Soul’s four legs carried him with purpose back towards his home, the only home he knew or cared for. Yet for nearly the past month he had absent, lingering outside the borders maybe, but never bringing himself to come inside. After the pack meeting he had watched his father slowly heal, his mother slowly fall apart and the rest of the pack try to rebuild. Ocean eyes had watched this all, but if ever they were to turn to him the boy would turn away, divert his eyes to the sky and pretend that none of it was really happening. Pretending could last only so long, and the only other option that made any sense to him at all was to run away from it. And so he had. And away the silver boy had stayed, for probably far too long.
Hesitant steps brought him up to the church that his father stayed in and he entered it, unannounced. Whether this too was his home or not he was unsure of. Geneva had made the move with Jefferson, but increasingly after the storm Pripyat had spent more and more nights away from them. Until he had ceased to come back at all. And now he was uncertain if the two of them would welcome him in with open arms (arm) or hold against him his recent absence. Their feelings seemed not to matter just them as neither were home and Pripyat wandered the building by himself.
Idly he touched the walls, felt his footsteps heavy on the wooden floor and breathed in the silence and emptiness that seemed to bounce from every solid surface in the chapel. As he moved around he tried to take in every detail, and was disappointed in finding few. Geneva’s scent was faint and fading, and Pripyat could not explain this, whereas Jefferson’s was stronger but also seemed as if this was no longer his centralized location. Frustrated the boy flung the doors open to the outside and stepped out, making it only as far as a few feet from the front door before he sank down into himself, knees and hands against the cool dirt of the earth.
