“Never mind. Forgive me Alistair; there’s no need to be timid.” He swallowed as she spoke of his timid nature, looking to the ground briefly then back to her. “Oh, I just felt like it-you know, with myself being a storm Elemental and all.” As she tilted her head up, it seemed something irritated her face from the cloud. Likely a raindrop, she began to shake her head viciously and spoke in another language. His star-like eyes watched her intently, the storm dark clouds on his pelt not moving much. He felt awkward standing in her presence with no purpose.
She moved the cloud closer to him, it nearly matched the now dull coat he wore. “You look upset. What’s the matter?” As the cloud dissolved, he found a weight on his shoulders with the question. Was he so easy to read? She seemed to not quite have the attention to listen though, as she watched a flower petal fall and a rabbit race by. He didn't want to think his Queen didn't care for him, she did ask. But where was her head in all of this? She turned her attention back to him it seemed, he sat silently. “What’s on your mind?”
His body moved with a deep sigh. "It's a very long, complicated story I'm afraid." He spoke softly. His eyes looked to the ground, he didn't want pity. "Basically? I'm a sh!tty father, I failed my children. My four childrens mother died when they were very young, Bear and Ajax died shortly after. My daughter Firefly disappeared nearly a year ago without a trace, and all I know is my last remaining son is somewhere still in Starfall but I haven't found him. I've lost hope in it, and as horrible as that sounds I just want to be able to try to fix things. I doubt I can, I know I wouldn't forgive myself . . . " He sighed once more. "I just wish I had another chance at being a father. I had always wanted to be, and I f*cked it up."
Walk, "Talk", Think.
"I'm not afraid of the fall!"
