Sorry! I won't do it again. =) ↔ 344 words
Liam saw the solemness in his brother-in-law's eyes the moment his green orbs fell onto Liam's bi-colored ones. The young man hadn't spoken to his sister in a couple days; actually he hadn't spoken to quite a few people since the raid. His time had been spent healing alongside his mother and taking care of the pups whenever Ayita couldn't keep her eyes on them. Most of the time she did though – he could tell how frightened she was that something would happen to them. Liam understood perfectly now. He was worried too – worried about everyone.
Liam simply nodded as he walked over to lean against a nearby tree, just a couple feet from Niro yet still close enough so that they did not have to yell at each other. “I haven't spoken to 'Mara since... the raid. It definitely took its tole on her – on everyone.” he said, but the raid was the last thing he wanted to talk about and that fact was evident in the bleak tone of his voice. His eyes falling on the scenery around him, Liam let his mind wander for a few moments, lost in thought. He needed something to occupy his time – to occupy his mind.
Liam watched the discomfort and pain as it briefly crossed Niro's eyes, a new earring suddenly present in his ear. Liam didn't say anything. There was nothing to say, really.
In a blink the young brown wolf's bi-colored eyes went from Niro to the bird resting on his shoulder and then back to Niro. His claws picked at the bark of the tree idly. “Do you want to go for a walk? Make sure the boundaries are safe?” Liam asked. He wanted to spend time away from the main area with all of the pack happenings yet still, he did not want to be useless.
He couldn't afford to be useless – not now. Not when the pack was still threatened... not when echoes of his first real battle kept plaguing him, haunting him.
