it was not your fault but mine

[Aedan]

aedan --

He’d started the day with Vita and Bran, as he always did, though after some time he found himself kind of useless in that trio. There were days he’d take Bran out just the two of them, and other days all three would do something. And there were days when Vita and her son needed their own time together and so Aedan left. Maybe one of these days he’d get a job and try being productive, but that had never proven to be his strength once upon a time. Though he was older than when he’d tried many years ago.

Today he finds himself wandering the beaches. They’d never really gotten the chance to decide where home might be. Aedan had just enough time to talk to Gale before Vita made her way here and gave birth to their first child. He didn’t know he could love quite so much, and while he is so thankful and full of joy, it is also absolutely terrifying.

The sound of another male’s voice is a welcome distraction from his thoughts, and he turns his attention to see a young man making his way over toward him. His wings seem to be rather wet from the rather constant rain of this place, though Aedan found he didn’t necessarily mind the somewhat crummy weather. He’s always been a creature of the night, and he didn’t mind a dreary day either. ”Sure,” he says in a casual, easy going away.

Aedan steps to the aside slightly, giving the other man space to join him. ”Are you from here?” he asks, given that it’s not like he knows anyone else around these parts (if there even if anyone). ”I’m Aedan, by the way.”
