It seemed a cruel product left within the wake when hands of a being deemed higher than all curl about mortal frame, mould unwilling flesh into something more akin to it, given a gift within their eyes though such is warped and twisted, a burden they gleefully push upon another dressed up to make it seem sweeter. Yet there is no kindness to any of it, though within tiny cranium swirls thoughts of ever lasting, an eternity before him stretching with no borders, a want given no strings for he had not tasted the pain of it. Within his chest he felt the beat, the thrum of life as blood moved through his veins as it might never within the one deemed his father, taken from him with the promise of something more. In each day he found the promise of more but within the dark ink was also an end, merely waiting, predetermined if not written.
Single dark eye rose, the other had been freed from the bandages but had since been covered, the simple leather of the patch speaking of the empty space beneath, lips twisting as pain curled about his head. Though time had come to heal some of his injuries, still bone was slow to come together though he had learnt to take time to rest, allow himself the necessary breaks to permit it to heal, the headaches simply wouldn't budge. Arising to his paws he moved with a hobbling step, more accustomed now to baring his weight upon his right side though no less awkward for it, drawn by the words rather than the appearance of his father.
It was no secret their team had dwindled greatly, the rest seemed to have disappeared for some unknown reasons, thus placing a greater work load upon the remaining few. Though Silus had not cared to speak such it had worn on him in past days, especially when Junji had been injured and Rosemary tied up with other things, leaving him alone, the one with so little experience. Yet now with both being Soothsayers it seemed a little easier, offering the chance for more to be taught beside him, but he had expected one of them to do this, not Pincher himself.
Settling off to one side the Sage would be present only to watch, curious as to who would try their luck though he held a few names he hoped not to see, not for the fact he thought them incapable but simply because they were the few he actively worried about.
