Oak Tree Bend Tell the World

Hotei's strong frame kept him grounded to the earth, and if it was not for that Tri wasn't sure he would still be standing. Briefly, orange eyes looked upon his brother in the same state. There was nothing said, they shared their silence of grief. He only thought again how he was glad Hotei had come back, and that he had given him another chance. Another part of him felt like they were the only ones of their family left. The last of Hidden Tree. It made him more melancholy. He tried not to think it meant the end all, but it felt that way. His dreams of reviving his parents' home seemed to have died long ago.


The dark wolf  did not realize Drestig could only stand and stare. Not that he would judge him for it. Maybe, he hadn't been through so much death. Or he was worried he wasn't counted as part of he grieving. This was all familiar to Triell. The loss and reality that he would never see a loved one again. Why he would have liked to hold it all in, appear nothing but a solid leader. He had held it together too long. If he was going to fall apart it was better to do it in the company of these wolves. The ones he trusted the most. Orange eyes found his way to Drestig, in invitation and understanding.


Suddenly Jessie by his side, her gentle yet firm touch of assurance that spoke to him the loudest. He tried to smile, but it faltered. The world still felt it was burning around him. The news of Kisla did spend a gleam to his eyes, a lightness to his heart. She was safe, and loved with children of her own. This was something to hold onto in these times.

"Thank you," he murmured, meaning to each of them.
