He should have stayed in his pack, with his family and the friends closest to his family. He should have stayed around with Giselle, whom he found himself hopelessly drawn to. Hopefully that infatuation would stop or else he would find himself in misery. But everything was so tense at the manor now that they were missing several of the people from his family. Anu was captured as well. It was as though all were in mourning, but none of them were dead. Yet. It was too much for the young adult to handle. So, he escaped to Halifax early that morning as a distraction from the war and from. His excuse had been to look for materials for the war effort, as well as to go looking for something to help.


Instead, he spent most of the day walking absentmindedly. Silvano merely glanced at the shops, and occasionally peered into them if it was something of interest. It usually wasn't. Once he walked past another luperci heading in the opposite direction; neither one looked at each other nor made a motion of acknowledgement. But it was still mostly just a walk for the Sadira; there was nothing to really attract his attention. Most of the day was spent this way. But as the sun began to set, he started to head for home, knowing he would be back in the territory long after dark. The darkness came fully and Silvano cursed himself for not leaving sooner. It had been a fruitless endeavor and he smacked himself for it.


Though, he had to admit, his goal had been fulfilled; he had been distracted from the war. Well, almost. Silvano still thought about how the AniWayans had invaded them and took Anu from them. Savina was torn and the stress on her was so evident that the boy himself felt her pain and agony. She was tired, and they were all getting tired. Waking up was not as refreshing as it was. There was so little they could do short of a counter raid on AniWaya that they did not know what to do. But Silvano was sure that things would fall into place. Eventually.


The erratic flickering light of a fire and the telltale smell of smoke stopped the young man as the smokey scent filled the air. He inhaled it, enjoying the smell of burning wood. He headed to the source of the fire, going by scent and by the increasing brightness of the dancing light on the walls. Silvano saw a man sitting beside the fire and smoking something. It made a little pinprick of light, especially compared to the dying fire. "Oh, sorry. I wasn't sure if there was anyone here..," he said tiredly, giving a strained smile.
