BUY THE STARS — joining

[Luca]

Luca hadn't even noticed the bells on his first journey to the Typhoon, too focused on the actual members than the environment around him. He had become aware of them eventually though, when joiners started ringing them without any thought towards the nocturnal creatures that might be trying to sleep. He had grown to strongly dislike those bells, and tried his best to ignore how loud they were when they started ringing. There was no loud ringing this time, however, as he noticed a bunch of his clanmates gathering around the tracks. Luca followed Marcellus in particular, still drawn towards the cheetah despite him wanting nothing to do with the lustful hellhound. He was only joining the crowd out of curiosity, or maybe obligation, but that all changed once he looked up to spot who was actually waiting there. The fact that Sango had eaten the bell didn't seem to bother Luca as much as the hellhound herself, and his eyes widened with a mix of suprise and wonderment. "Ma!" He cried, running up in an attempt to nuzzle the larger hound. Of all the mothers Luca had been raised by over his many lives, Sango was no doubt his favourite. He hadn't been expecting to see her ever again, much less in a place like this. "Its been so long," Luca whined, tears pooling along his lower lashes. The happy sort of pain that came with reunion was only intensified by the fact that he'd resigned himself to never meeting again, overwhelming him with emotion. He began to cry, as he often did in this sort of situation, sinking to his belly on the tracks and sobbing pathetically.
