Hey You

It wasn't much of a surprise that Félicien grew quickly agitated at the mention of Caelum. Briefly he closed his eyes, falling into private though for a moment before bringing himself to speak again. "Yep," Zephyr replied simply, though he knew his friend wasn't waiting for an answer. His own tail would flick in irritation. He'd have to be cautious how much he said about his mentor; his reunion with Caelum had gone differently than he'd expected. Maybe he'd spent so much time forcing her from his mind that he never expected to encounter her again, and it had taken him by surprise.

A slight frown tugged at his lips at the other man's words. "I.. didn't," he answered, a slight touch of hesitation in his voice. No matter what they'd discussed in the past, disposing of her hadn't ever truly crossed his mind, and even now the thought made his chest clench uncomfortably. "I think I can handle her on my own," he finally answered, though he wasn't quite sure what he meant. "Thanks for the offer though." It was difficult to hide the angst he felt, though his expression tightened as he eyed the river as well.
