Slowly, the apparitions faded, the boys eyes growing wide as he tried desperately to hold onto them. "N-no! Don't go please! I'm...I'm all alone.." Whimpering, he watched as they melted in the shadows. Leaving him alone once more. He would stare at the back of the den for a long moment, the voice that had broken his happiness. Turning around, weary eyes fell upon a silhouetted by shadow and light. It took him a long moment to figure out who it was, but the scent slowly sank in as he recalled a name. "Th...Thanatos?"
Almost without warning, the boy used his remaining strength to half jump and half fall against the bigger male's legs. His tail wagged weakly as he looked up, tired eyes clouded from exhaustion and sickness as he pressed himself against the man. "D-did you see them? My...mommy and...daddy were here...They...they were here..." He curled up close to Thanatos, hip bones and ribs protruding as his breath drew ragged. However, food and the like were the last things on the ailing boys mind. But he wasn't alone anymore, someone he knew was here.
