Zsoka
I live the death of the young and the free Knox's tears do not last. The pain in his chest, in his ancestor's legs, is endless and unforgettable and it will not go away so quickly, but the tears do not last. As a colt, the hunter swallows the last of them and presses his wet cheek to Milo's neck before turning to look up and see the Dauntless' massive shadow fall over him. "Archibald," he says slowly, painfully. It is Zsoka's body but not his mind, not his words or his insolence. He takes a few labored steps from his son and closer to his brother, unsure if he is recognized and not caring to reveal for certain who he is. "The boy's mother has left him," Knox says softly, in a whisper he hopes Milo will not hear. Aylin has left not just Milo, but Knox. Was Manhattan's death not enough pain for them both? "His father needs some time," Knox adds with quiet regard. Whether Archibald will assume this means their identity is not connected, Knox does not know or care. But he does need some time, and so in Zsoka's form he can admit this. Time to do what, he isn't sure. To grieve, certainly, but how? It is difficult to say. "Please care for him," Knox goes on, looking back at Milo as he says this. He wants to say that he, that Knox, that this sad quiet boy's father will return for him soon, but Knox cannot be certain. He cannot say for sure he will take on the responsibility again, that he will be the father he should be. "And... he will not speak to you," he remembers to say as he turns to leave. "Perhaps he has lost his mind. Perhaps he simply has no love for creatures like us. I cannot say." Creatures like murderers, creatures like fathers with no care for their sons, Knox thinks with disappointment in himself. Zsoka draws away slowly, brushing Milo's side as he begins to part. "I love you," he says to the colt. But there is nothing but silence, the loss of companion and mate and now son, that follows him away from the falls. "" |
Knox isn't leaving the falls he's just... leaving Milo for a bit. With Uncle Archi. :x
