It was a terrible thing, to see the pain resting within her eyes. Despite knowing that it wasn't his place to do so, despite knowing that she most likely wouldn't want it, he still wanted to help her. Still wanted to hold her close, comfort her, tell her that everything was going to be alright. But Gekirin held himself back, even as Izumi brought herself closer to him, a pleading look in her purple hues. The Crane was a lost soul, one without her family and those that she held dear. But maybe he could do something about it.

At least you are here, safe and sound. You made it back alive despite all that you have been through. It is a huge relief. As for the Dynasty, your family. I will do all that I can to help you find them. The onyx colored man gave her all that he could, his word. For that was all that he had to give.

Truthfully though, I don't know where they all went, what exactly happened. I woke up from my den one day while still residing within your pack's territory, only to find that there was not a soul in site. The only one that I managed to find, I never got her name. She was mute and the color of chocolate. Last I saw of her, she had resided in the southern mountains to the west. But I have not seen her around there since.

That was unfortunately all the information that he had to give. What Izumi did with it was hers to choose.
