Family is a quiet affair of memories long and forgotten

[align=center][div style="width: 51%; text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: -1px; font-family: georgia;"] Quivering lips, and even more watering eyes, cheeks a flushed from his feverish effort to keep his very apparent wailing that was already about to rip his vocals apart.  He was in mourning afresh, to learn of this.  He could have been bitter, he could have just scorned, mocked and ridiculed the man who had died times previous again.  Sides heaving, and his lungs burning as he whined, and whimpered, tears running with reckless abandon.  "Why are memories stained yellow?" he croaked in his agony, his body just shaking from the effort of keeping his mouth shut, he couldn't take this agony for much longer, and just sobbed brokenly.  This hurt way too much to handle.

they closed their eyea and bowed their head, sitting close to him and embracing him once more, "because the memories are stained by antiquity,
and though they hurt as yellow, if they were not there or a different hue, the pain would be twice that what you feel" they murmur, answering a question that they had thought of for many a year. they wordlessly encourage him to wail and sob, to let it out in safe company

Rene snorted in his anguish, but that was the only thing that would make him remotely better about himself, he felt better even if it did sting and make his heartache so much slower than normal. He closed his eyes, and just took into the embrace, even if it would take months, years, who knew how long for that massive wolf to reappear and the walk the earth again.

" What comes out of something like this, at least my memories with him are worth it, and even more colorful with just the yellow tint." he murmured with seldom resolve for his own thoughts, and he would adapt with everything.  Even though the resolve for himself would probably break again, the moment he clasped his gaze back onto that idiot again, in time to come.  As of right now, he would move through his process of grief even if it was a quiet moment.

they bowed their head respectfully, saying nothing but wordlessly embracing their uncle and trying to share their comfort with the smaller hybrid. "then keep those memories close and fond, until he comes back to you." they murmured gently to him, eyes warm despite their blindness. oh what they wouldn't give to have astro here again. they missed their beloved more than the world, and each day spent raising eclipse was a day too fsr away from him. they understood how rene felt, better than they wanted to admit.

[align=center][div style="width: 51%; text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: -1px; font-family: georgia;"] Rene could only bob his head in response to that, and understood that he had no choice to keep his memories fond of Des and every one else that might come into the present or were in this plane of existence.  That was the only thing that could push him forward, and he was wanting that more than anything.

What he wouldn't give to have his entire family here, although not the one who disowned him twice, only to bring him back when they have found something that he was of usage for.

taking a deep breath, they exhaled heavily and sat with him in momentary silence before speaking up, "Rene, you need to take Ramona to The Typhoon. This is not the right place for a child to live, let alone one like her. she might not be a child anymore but she is still a little girl to me." they murmured quietly, lifting their hindleg to scratch at their jaw in an almost anxious fashion.

"I ... will not be staying here for much longer, I fear. I do not want her to be left alone, or to be left behind. And you were always her favorite person aside from Ammon and Helios. She dearly misses the rest of the family, and I fear that something bad may happen to her if she stays here for much longer, uncle." they admit breathlessly, pain clouding their gaze, agony ripping through them again before they stamped it down and turned it into anger.

[align=center][div style="width: 51%; text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: -1px; font-family: georgia;"] "I was afraid you were going to say that. I suspected as much, she does not deserve to be here, not for much longer, she is still a child regardless of her been about the physical age of a teenager." Rene nodding in agreement, and watched the smoldering anger return in the what he can only describe has clouded over the eyes of Lynn. "I am afraid, what will happen to her, will occur soon enough because it will not end well. I fear the worst will come, and it's not over yet for Ram." he added.

the smoldering rage displayed within their eyes would be the main reason that the dragon shifter survived the next matter of months, maybe even years.
rage was easier than any sadness or pain, because they knew how to handle the rage, how to turn it into something productive.

"ramona is definitely at risk here, make no mistake. she needs family members more than ever." they murmur, tone nearly dead, the anger in their eyes sparkling as they spoke. they didn't want her left behind, not again.

[align=center][div style="width: 51%; text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: -1px; font-family: georgia;"] Rene once more nodded, and flicked his tail slowly as he took in the information, he was sure that Ramona was in danger once more from an outside source or from within, no one was entirely sure but he would the teen to remain safe has possible has he can make sure that she is.

bowing their head quietly, they exhaled and shuddered, "i am uneasy about the future, rene. ramona hates the world, the poor girl, but there is more. This place that i found ... there is a story behind it. i will live there, and i suppose i should offer its safety to those who desire it."
