        The female remained silent as she watched the male's form retreat into the winter snow. The female bit her lip gingerly as she wondered what could have made the male so upset. Zari returned as he shifted back to his human skin his clothing thankfully intact.

"What went up your tree and shook?" The female blinked.

"What?-" The male chuckled softly.

"It means what's wrong Dear Luna." The male smiled softly. The female looked down

"I think I may've done somethign to upset your brother." The male shook his head.

"No, Atlas has always been the broading type. Please pay no mind to it truly he would smile if he could as he would laugh and do much more if he could but sadly it's just not the life he has." The female would have pressed further had Atlas not walked back in the female took note of the countless scars linning his back. His knuckles were covered with the fresh scent of blood they were quite cut and bruised. Zari had taken the male's hand in his.

"What happened?! You look like you went hunting instead of me!" Atlas pulled his hand away from his brother's grip golden hues piercing flames as he glared.

"Do not touch me." Zari had backed away from his siblings rage that has soon to pass.
The male had cooked the meat over the flames along with having the sweet fruits nearby for after. Lunettea had sat besides Zariel.

"What happened to him?" Zari had shaken his head sighing softly.

"Many things, most my fault but some not do not worry about my brother. Dear so just take a moment dear." The female nodded.

"Thank you Zariel." The male smiled warmly.

"Of course Luna" The female had smiled back slightly before her silver eyes blanked once more and she turned away from the male.

"We'll arrive to the Vastilan soon, sleep now we'll be going at the crack of dawn." Zariel and Lunettea both stared at the male as if he had gone insane.

"Dawn?---" The female asked.

"Did I stutter?" Zariel sighed.

"No brother come Luna get some rest there are some sleeping bags and blankets."

"Thank you.."The female stood from her place setting her plate down. Before walking to a good enough length from them both. Laying down in one of the sleeping bags curling up in one of the blankets.

"Do you think she'll wake up?"Zari had spoken with some caution less she wake.

"I doubt it until we get to Mentor I don't think she'll get anything back."

"Mhm...."

"Get some rest the first watch is on me."

"Alright be safe brother.."Zariel smiled sadly at his brother before going to the back of the passage and laying in one of the bags.

"Safe is something I don't think is plausable.."The male walked out to the entrance of the passage looking up to the night sky..

"...I wish you were here..."The words were soft as if he hoped if he wished a bit harder it would bring something or someone to him the words were meant for the stars and himself alone but others not intentionally had heard.
