Wolfrik walked to the edge of the bawn in his wolf form. He'd spent quite some time away from the Sept and the Caern. It was time not wasted as he felt he had to leave for a while in order to find himself. He had to take the time to come to terms with the gravity of his deed name. He finally knew that it was a deed name that was mostly impossible to live up to as evidence always presented itself in the form of the disfigurement that ran down the left side of his face.
As he reached the campsite he shifted into his homid form and walked over to the campfire and took a seat with his knees pulled up. The heat of the fire felt good on his face as he stared at it. He wondered if Marku was still around. He hoped so, because it would've been nice to have some family who still cared about him still around. He figured he would just wait until anyone came about to have a conversation, if anyone at all was around.
Markku pads through the bawn in his grey-furred lupus form. He is not patrolling, but walking off the most recent series of *nightmares.* He smells Wolfrik before he sees him, and breaks into a loping run, grinning in canine fashion.
Remains quietly sitting in front of the fire staring into it as if entranced by it. He can hear the sounds of Markku approaching but doesn't remove his gaze.
Markku slows as he approaches. He pads over to the fire and sits far enough from Wolfrik that the other garou won't feel threatened, but close enough that he won't feel alone. He sits in silence, not talking until Wolfrik does.
Wolfrik looks at his cousin sitting there in silence. He wonders how angry Markku is for him leaving in the middle of the night without a word or warning. He finally asks, "Are you just going to sit there and stare or are you going to say what's on your mind?"
Markku tilts his head, then walks over and sits by his cousin. He lays his head in Wolfrik's lap; his tail thumps against the ground a few times. He is clearly not angry at Wolfrik, and was only concerned for his welfare. Blood, after all, is thicker than water.
Markku rolls his eyes. "No, jackass, you left in the middle of the night and since, jeez, you're the only family I've got, did you think I might wonder? None of us had any idea if you were coming back, when you were coming back, whatever. Fuck you." He sits silently after that.
Markku shifts to homid form; he is wearing jeans, his knife, and his "Hammer of Thor" necklace. "Yeah, well, say something next time, wouldja?" He laughs. "A lesser man would have peed his pants, I'm sure."
