Those who can't sacrifice anything, can never change anything
He wasn’t sure if or when he might have been told about Belhara. He seemed to recall there was a time in his life where their grandfather had left, but he had done so twice he thought… maybe it was that time that he had his aunt? He wasn’t positive, and for what it was worth they had found each other now, just like he and Zarah too had finally formed a sibling bond that they had missed out on when they were children. He still had lots of family that loved him… he tried to remind himself that losing Paravana wasn’t the end of his life, that he still had family that needed him even though his Mother, Father, and brother had all left him. Then of course… Para too… though that was not her choice. He was the lone part of that side of his family now, he lost nearly everyone close to him and he knew at any time he might be losing his grandfather too… But time would be doing that… there was nothing he could do to prevent what would happen to Yojimbo just as there was no way to prevent what had happened to his grandmother Isola… A good soul taken from the world too soon…
He shook the thoughts from his head though, else he would be taken over by the melancholy once more that seemed to shadow him through his life. The golden male tried to keep his focus on the wolfess before him who didn’t help by saying her own sister had gone, and she hadn’t seen her in many years, but thought she was still out there. ”I know how you feel… My brother is out there too. He left one day, I don’t expect him to come back though.” Emil said, wondering if she felt the same about her own sibling. They weren’t really here to talk about family, but it was both comforting and saddening to know that she had something similar happen to her. Perhaps it was some weird family curse they had… but he tried to push past that, but part of him still had that thought in his head that he was happy he had someone to commiserate with a bit.
She seemed pleased to know that her father, his grandfather, was still alive, and that he and his sister were doing their best though once again he was surprised that she already knew his sister it seemed. ”Y-yeah… That’s my younger sister. It’s really only me, her and my youngest brother, Sirius left there now.” He wasn’t sure where Sidriel had gone off too… She was just gone one day… and never came back. Though that seemed to be the pattern now. Her last question was more difficult to answer. ”I-I don’t mind. But I don’t know what Orion thinks anymore. I would take you to with me if you wanted, vouch for you if you wanted to see Grandfather.” He would fight with Orion if he told Belhara no. Iromar might have been angry at Diveen but Emil wasn’t close enough with the alpha to say if the feeling was mutual.
Though it seemed they were getting to the meat of the matter. Belhara thankfully didn’t hold anything back. Explaining that she might not know a lot but giving what she could. It left Emil a lot to ponder though. Her retort though left Emil quiet and pondering, shaking his head that he didn’t know anything. ”I’m sorry, but far as I know Neveah hasn’t asked any of the assassins to kill anyone. So I don’t think she has any particular grudge against Iromar. She’s the queen now, and the lead Assassin of the pack and keeps all the rest of us busy when she has stuff for us to do… which… hasn’t been a lot admittedly. So if someone went for your wolf… it had to be a personal vendetta… not really something the hierarchy wanted I think…” But then again he didn’t know Orion well… but no hits or anything were called like they had been on that Kattari woman. They all were supposed to be trying to find and kill her. ”You’re right though… I suppose I should start back in Diveen then… try to find who had connections with that woman… Strange… seems Diveen is having all sorts of troubles with aggressive females lately…. We had a wolfess who we had captured kill the King’s son and escape… I hear she’s pretty crazy… so you watch yourself okay, Aunt Belhara? Sounds like things are getting dangerous out in the freelands again, with no pack for those kinds of wolves to be confined too…. ”
