It hadn't been Ilijas who had run away from home but rather, his home that had run away from him. His parents had been young and inexperienced when he and his twin sister had been born, barely able to provide for either him or Tally and much too interested in the more leisurely aspects of life to care for their children other than what already was obligated of them. One day, they had taken every one of their possessions and left the twins by themselves, forced to adapt to the wild lest the wild snap them up in its haunted jaws, exchanging life for death. They were old enough to hunt for themselves, fend for themselves, but things still felt strange with no home to return to. It was why Ilijas wandered so diligently now, hardly able to remain in one place before the fear of abandonment once more flared in his chest and left him spiraling down in a darkness that was not entirely his.
Sunhaven and more specifically, Beverly, had managed to sate his anxious feelings, extending him the promise of a place that would not leave him behind confused and scared, that void opened by his parents filling gradually as each day came and went and he found his place here. His happiness here. He had long since come to terms with everything and yet, sometimes there were rare instances in which he recalled them leaving, Talanah seemingly unfazed as Ilijas struggled to understand what either of them did wrong, not truly comprehending that their birth had been unanticipated and a bit unwelcome. He didn't exactly fault his parents for being so young, just wished that they had been accountable for once in their lives. Oh well. He knew he was happy now- that was all that mattered.
The young bengal had been wandering about when he happened upon Cloud, Pierce, Ishayu, and Gordon, expression contorting as his gaze lingered upon the hostile stance of the former. [color=gray]"Is this guy okay?" Ilijas would inquire aloud, a metaphorical brow stitching together, that frown unwavering. He certainly hadn't left the house this morning with the intention of being attacked and mark his words, he'd be furious if such a fate awaited him here.
