Scott had stuck around, albeit not yet made a decision, and honestly he wasn’t sure when he would finally stop lingering. Either he joined or he didn’t. He really had to stop stalling so much. But there was so much doubt not only in his brain, but in his heart as well. He needed to meet more Empyrean wolves, he needed to make a solid decision. He needed to make sure that he was right for the job, that he belonged.
But all he did was wander near the territory, sticking close but never entering. Occasionally he would greet someone who passed by, but he looked like an absolute listless sack of potatoes lately.
At least the bird had not left him. The peregrine had followed him wherever he’d gone, and stuck around. Scott had felt a connection with the creature and fed it a few times after catching a meal. The peregrine seemed to appreciate the kind gesture.
As Scott laid there in the grass, looking up at the mountains, the bird came swooping in from the sky, and dropped a dead mouse in front of Scott. It then landed next to him, and stared at him intently. Scott’s eyes went from the mouse to the bird and back again.
‘’Oh, is this for me? Thanks buddy.’’ he asked the bird with his thick accent. The bird just stared at him. For a moment, Scott felt as if he’d found a lost family member. Reincarnated as someone new. Why else would this peregrine have come to him? Why else did it stay with him, and even share his meals with him? Scott had a small thought in the back of his head that this might have been his deceased father, having returned to him to help him out.
‘’Da- Tobias…?’’ he asked hesitantly. Maybe he WAS going crazy and this was all some wishful thinking. All the bird did was stare anyway. It probably wasn’t true. This wasn’t his father, reincarnated. There was no way. But Scott clung to the idea. It gave him some hope, some more motivation.
Scott had done thing to get himself going, to get himself up there in life. He really needed to work more in himself. There was so much he still had left to do. And he would, he just had to start it off.
He would make his father proud. That was his most important task in life.
