Stronger than you know

Xephyris had been wandering the borders rather slowly, a little tired as of late, adjusting to his role and taking care of the woman that carried his pups. Not only that, but he had so much on his mind, and so many others that he needed to talk to and keep track of as well. So when Soleil called out to him, it jolted him out of a deep train of thought he almost hadn't realized he was in. Perhaps he had more been zoning out than anything, following the path along the border that was now familiar to him. He could walk it in his sleep. He turned to her, a somewhat wistful smile upon his face, although his brows quickly came together in worry as he noticed the blood staining her coat. He stopped dead, turning fully toward her and closing the distance between them as dread filled him, along with other emotions he couldn't identify. "Soleil, what happened to you?" he asked her, still not sure and ever frustrated that she might not fully understand him, "Where have you been? Who did this to you?" Silver eyes searched frantically over her pelt, wondering what could have happened. Had she met someone at the border and fought them off? Or had she been ambushed somewhere beyond pack territory? It hadn't occurred to him that maybe she had gone looking for this fight, that she had meant for it to happen.

He wanted to press his nose into her fur, to search her wounds and see the extent of the damage, but he knew things were changing. He couldn't so freely just invade her space, touch her as he once had, in the days that their scents had been mingled together. It stung him somewhat to have to hold back, but he didn't want to upset her any more than he already had. Yet, he didn't know if it hurt her more to keep this cold space between them, or to respect the distance. Blue-speckled silver eyes searched her face, looking to that turquoise gaze of hers, that had once felt so warm and intriguing, yet now felt so cold to look into. What did she want from him? Could he ever possibly be what she desired, or was this simply futile?
