His disappointment couldn't have been expressed better. Elsweyr's words stood true. The two saw eye to eye. Gael was a valuable leader to The Pitt and Atticus never wanted to see the day he departed, but to see him and Aine leave was heartbreaking. To think that they were on a better path. The thought that maybe Sweeney and Atticus could have a fitting future, but that potential crumbled as soon as Dante returned to power. Ears pinning to his head, he speculated her leave. Had she left out of fear? Had Dante hurt her? The wolf could feel the anger beginning to bubble in his chest. Cowardess from all sides caused this disgraceful change, leaving Atticus just to shake his head as she finished. "If only he had," he echoed back. "Then maybe we wouldn't be here." 'And she would still be here.'
At the mention of Arrow's declaration, he simply nodded. "I see," came his simplistic reply. Perhaps he should have waited at the border then. Oh well. "If I may, I will offer my services on training Tanglewood on their common tactics." His gaze shifted to Lucinder momentarily. They seemed young. Learning the ways of war was bound to happen one way or another for them. It just happened to be now for the youngling. It reminded him of his own past truthfully, especially after his mother's death and Ivan's attacks towards him, but despite the trauma, he still learned how to fight for his own. Silver lining, supposedly.
Elsweyr's comment passed by quickly, but as he was about to reply, the next came mercilessly his way. His jaw hung open. He tried to form a proper reply, but all he could muster was: "What?" Ears slowly made their way back to press down onto his cranium as the male processed the former luminary's words. Moth was gone. His mother was gone... again. To where? Had she died again? Why now?
Atticus' heart raced and thumped against his chest as the realization set in. His lover and mother had vanished into the dark without a goodbye... and for what? A new life? To leave him in the dust? Confusion set in. He wanted to deny it. With his eyes narrowed, he sputtered out all he could. "Where is she?"
Not again.
