Truly, at that moment, Lars had never felt so— alone. While he did have the Rangers, and the scant few he knew outside of them to keep him company, when it came to his direct, actual blood relatives—there was little. lumia peura was still family, although a younger cousin, and therefore didn’t need to know the shattered mess that was his own family. A younger brother, gone adrift. Who knew where he was going to end up. A younger sister, lost in the mist. Probably watching from up above—or down below. It was probably from the skies, though. A mother, missing sixteen years and running—no ‘conclusive evidence’ as to where she may have gone off to (at least, that was the story he remembered the ol’ man spouting about it) but deep inside, he knew that they were all lies. It may have been luck, or chance, that he overheard that argument that cemented his doubt about— A father, loveless as time had gone by. Looking like there was an olive branch coming from him, Lars had become paranoid about any kind of intentions from the older man at this point. Five years away had taught him self-preservation and volatility in Alto Mare, and then the rest of the nine years afterward—watching the region go from zero to eleven in the last few. And then— Everything just weighed down on him at that moment. It was so heavy, he was sure he’d have collapsed under the weight of it all had he been younger, weaker—not today, though. “Thank you,” were the only words he would say, nodding and accepting her offer. “I’m sure they—they would appreciate the gesture.”@tallulah
