As the canine rolled in to shore, is limbs continued to carry him and the feeling of the waves echoed in his muscles long after he walked out of their reach. Even he struggled to catch his breath, which made his mind instantly gravitate toward the prince in concern. This would not do, the air quality was dangerous for Eniko but as he watched him.. he seemed alright for now. "Be careful, Eniko. Please." He said his request calmly on smooth, baritone vocals that were so prone to be much louder. For Eniko, though, he was always softer spoken.
He followed behind the prince reluctantly, he usually preferred to lead and scout what was ahead to make sure it was safe for Eniko to follow but he knew that the man was stressed with all of the events that had happened over the past month. The adjustment would take some time to get used to, so for now he did not argue as he kept to Eniko's flank.
His dense fur had a hard time letting go the salt water of the ocean, so when the lake was finally found he was more than happy to see it. His ear twitched toward the sound of Eniko's wheeze and he narrowed his gaze, watching him closely as he carried himself down to the lake. Then, the louder wheeze left Eniko and Phantom's ears perked, his eyes wide in a sense of panic.
"Damn it, Eniko. No more, we are resting here." He would stand at the princes side, his neck craned outward a bit as he kept it close to the prince's, studying his breath and making sure it didn't stop entirely. They were out of the kingdom and had nothing to help soothe the prince's symptoms, it was beyond worrisome for the guardian.
He sighed and looked around the edge of the lake for anything else that might have heard Eniko's wheezing. Once it seemed safe enough, he continued to watch the prince. "There are cat tails all around this lake, we can't see much that is going on on the other side of them, but.. that also means we are hidden for the most part unless something approaches. We should be fine here for the night."
He wanted to search for honey for the prince, but at the moment he was afraid to leave him alone so he didn't dare suggest it.. he knew Eniko would insist that he was fine. He would wait until Eniko's breathing was under control.
