The sun was particularly bright today, standing out vibrantly against the deep blue sky above Sven's head. It beat down upon his thickened coat, warming his muscles and improving his mood. Much had been put on hold due to the drama with Greer's pack, and he had learned far more than he bargained for already about the places he had planned on visiting. That his mother had moved on so easily, built something great for herself without a word to her firstborn son, much less attempt to check on his wellbeing. That Attica was home and hateful toward him, and Morganna and Renier had were no longer North at all but still skulking here around the South. Really, most of his questions now remaining revolved around Sahalie. He hoped finding her would prove far better news.
Perhaps it was better that most of this information had come to him. He couldn't imagine standing in the desolate North, to be met by his mother, some strange man and more half siblings whose lives he hadn't been given the chance to be a part of. To hear that Morganna and Craw had simply up and gone. Attica's information had been delivered unpleasantly still, maybe that was the one regret. That he couldn't have had a calmer talk with the girl. Or, maybe she had been just waiting to go off on him, much as he would have been like to do at her age. Part of him wanted to seek her out, make amends. Yet clearly, she wanted nothing of the sort, or else they wouldn't be in this position now.
It was all very tiring and discouraging, and so he was doing his best to continue enjoying the beautiful day and ignore the turmoil within his head. Sven didn't consider that it would help to talk things out, as he hadn't much had the option before. The steam within had only ever been stopped and corked, until that pressure built up into an explosive escape. Otherwise, he would have sought out Leotie or perhaps even @Ravenna again to speak with.
As things were, he would only know to continue his pattern of avoiding his feelings. Sven picked up his pace and angled himself toward the borders, determined to find something physical to preoccupy himself with.
