It really was ridiculous just how much of Tanglewood had issues with their family. Wormwood had obviously never had a good relationship with either his Father or his Mother, and now he didn't have one anymore with his brother, and he was far from the only one. Roy had no family save for Worm himself, Red showed no sign of having a family or even missing one, and Beck didn't seem as though he liked speaking about his family from the past at all, and those were far from all of the examples that the clan was full of. Perhaps that was the point of Tanglewood, since they were sort of a "band of misfits", and it made sense that most of them were outcasts from their own families. Crow and Selby seemed like the only ones who had a decent family relationship besides he and Roy, although even that seemed like it got challenged occasionally, at least when Crow was being an asshole and Selby told him off. At the very least it seemed as though everyone in Tanglewood had bonded together to become sort of a found family that would protect each other to the very end – although he sometimes questioned how much Beck would really sacrifice for any of them. Perhaps Echo would end up becoming a member of this little found family as well, if things went right.
Wormwood had been out for a walk around the territory when he happened upon Echo, finding himself pausing when he saw somebody dragging themselves from the water, looking disheveled and confused, a look that was uncomfortably familiar on the face of several other joiners. Taking a deep breath, the male noted the fact that Echo had opened her mouth, but it seemed that nothing had come out, no words displacing the air between them. Echo was probably lucky that Worm had come upon her, since it seemed that she couldn't exactly call out for anyone right now... and he found himself wondering if she had ever been able to. Moving over to the edge of the water, the lion rumbled softly as he kept his one eye trained on the strange sea colored female that had emerged from the sea, "Hey there... you alright? I don't think I've seen anybody coming up from the shore before. Usually they just choose to come to the edge of the woods... " He tried not to make light of her situation, since it was obvious that she was disoriented and upset, but at the very least he could try joking around with her to try and make her feel alright. Tilting his head to one side, the golden and red large feline questioned with a little frown, not sure if Echo could actually answer him or not, "Do you know how you ended up here? This is Tanglewood..."
