Hunting the past (Kit Keith)

Chapter 39: he loved you very much...

Coriak

I woke up in the pack nest. I can't believe what happened. Not only do I have a new, caring mother but my father was taken before I was even able to register him as such. It's not fair. I wonder what he was like though? of course I never got to meet him, but how did he die? I know Mel told me that he was killed during the war, but why did they kill him? He was a good man, right?

I look over to look at the clock that is placed so elegantly over to the right side of the room. It was beautiful. It was a golden colour laced with silver and white ribbon with rose gold jewels that lingered so beautifully in the not lit up room. Wait... lit up? I slowly guide my line of sight towards the door. To find Zaraok stood in the doorway. "Hello little one... it's time for dinner." He says softly. I nod my head and begin to get up. It must have been a quick attempt because I am now sat the floor with a dizzy spell that seems to be lingering. I hear steps before I am softly and gracefully pulled off the floor and placed on someone's hip. I look over to see it was just Zaraok. "T-Tanks..." ugh I thought I was over that way of speaking. I slowly sink into his neck hiding my embarrassment. "It's ok little one, no need to be embarrassed." He laughs a little causing my face to heat up even more. "You're not helping..." Aaa I can't seem to speak properly today. "I see today Is a bad day for you... you seem to be having a regression day... not need to be embarrassed about it... young ones even, Altean children go through the exact same things at any given age."

How can this be normal? I guess I'll trust him for a moment. I gasp as I am brought into a firm chest and out of the pack room. "don't worry little one, it's perfectly natural..." I look up at him, and Chirp? it's so strange that I haven't chirped in a while. He laughs before hiding his face into my neck. "you even smell like a Kit... perhaps its because you have not long since gone through your first growth spurt."

Before long we enter the Dining room and I force myself to look away from everyone as I could feel their eyes burning through me as they are probably confused as to why I am in Zaraok's arms. I hear his scoff as if he could just feel how uncomfortable before clearing his throat then speaking. "no need to stare, he is simply going through a regression day is all... probably because of the events that have befallen him in past few Quintent's (days).'' I slowly lift my head to hear a few people saying ok and some nodding their heads going back to what they were doing previously.

Zaraok

I hear a small sigh of relief causing me to chuckle and him to look up at me and pout with the most adorable facial expression I have seen in a while. I know what you are thinking, what about your younger brother? as of late we haven't been as close as we usually are and Lotor has been ignoring me as well. I am used to being ignored and on my own. but even those who are on their own for years can get lonely. That is why I have come to help this Kit, well he's not much of a Kit any more, but I just feel as though I am not as lonely. I see Melenor walk over to us and place a small plate of food in a highchair. i know he may not like it but it will be better for him and his health as he will probably find it harder to sit still in a normal chair.

i walk over to the chair and try to place him in "nwo!!" he shouts and begins to flail his arms and legs. "please little one, I know you don't like it, but I promise it will help you eat." he looks at me before looking at the ground and nods his head. I pat it before placing him down. I then went to my seat.

Melenor

I place the plate of food on the Highchair and look over to see that Coriak really did not want to go into the Highchair. before long he is in but this will help me work out how his regression days start and end. Usually when the regression days start they aren't that bad and can talk some. Some people can talk all the way through the day, some even have regression days instead. the worst case lasting 3 months. I hope it is easy for us and Coriak.
