YOU'RE TEARING ME APART || Mini-meeting 5/21

[trojan g.]

TIME MARCHES ONWARD, CRUEL AS CAN BE
STUCK IN THE REAL WORLD, NOTHING COMES FREE

Ruven hadn't been in his home when what had gone down with Sojourn did. He hadn't been there when his brother was attacked, when Arvid was killed, when Oleander had been thrown like a chewtoy. He had heard about it though. He'd been told things when he came back, and he had been devastated. His mother, the one he had trusted the most within the Coalition, had harmed and killed his groupmates - no, his friends - and then had died for what she had done. He guessed it was the best ending there could be, considering he didn't want her being exiled - he'd miss her too much and worry about where she was without him - but this way he knew where she was. Buried six feet below.

He trudged over to the meeting that Aphra had called out, ears pinned to his head as he looked up towards the feline before him. He didn't have much issue with her being the new Kingpin of the Coalition. He knew there could be others that did considering her parenting style, but she and Sojourn had been similar enough in that for Ruven to know that she could potentially do good with the power that she was given. "Noted." Was all the child would speak for now, sitting there and waiting, unsure of what to do next. If he had known that Sojourn was going to get a statue in the hall of kings he would have stopped it. She had left them, she had left the Coalition and left her children without parents. She had tried to end it all before Maude finished it before her. She wouldn't have wanted a statue in her honor in that case... deserters didn't get statues.
