He tries, at least. Not everything would work out the way he wanted it to, but at least he was here and hopefully he wouldn't be thrown out anytime soon. He was trying to make himself useful, trying to find his place here. It's what he had wanted for so very long, and now he was here with Tristan and it made things easier. To know that someone still cared if he was around, if he was alive. He hadn't been sure if anyone had really remembered him, honestly. It had been a very lonely feeling.

But now he did not have to be alone anymore. Even with injuries he wouldn't be kept down, because he wouldn't let that lesson his worth here. He would be stronger than that, push through whatever life sent his way. Though he was concerned about Tristan's wound, that was for sure. There seemed to be a lot of blood on Tristan's flank, and Solitaire worried that it would weaken his brother if not looked at soon. The Winter was not a good time to be weak.

At least he's assured that Tristan will find a healer for it, and that soothes his frayed nerves for the moment on the matter. He notes the way that Tristan finally looks at the wound and the cringing, but he holds his tongue, perfectly fine to ditch the seal pup for Tristan's health. That was what mattered most to him. Solitaire could find them food later if someone poached the seal pup before they returned to it. He simply wanted to do what was best for his brother.

Yet Tristan said he could eat, and Solitaire gives a small smile and a nod of his head. "If you're sure.." Still hesitant, still a little worried, but when Tristan starts the little feast and invites him over, Solitaire jumps right in with a wave of his tail, going to tear into the side while Tristan takes the stomach area. The fat was hard to get through, but when he gained real meat he ripped at it, gulping down what he could. Of course when Tristan spoke, Solitaire paused and lifted his head, looking over at his brother. Something about mom? He blinked, waiting.
