Swiftly Domovei returned from his meeting with Irin, suddenly overwhelmed with the desire to know the outcome of the challenges. His mind reeled at the possibility of Newt being injured or, worse, her pack being overthrown. As the small gathering came into view, he neglected to see Kaios -- had he fallen? Panic surged through the small brute as he loped closer, eyes wide with curiosity and fear. Some of his anxiety was subdued as the massive figure of Newt came into view. Beside her was Champion, and another brute he'd never seen. But the most important thing was that Newt was alive and somewhat intact, though the injuries she bore said more than she need to -- she had lost. It was obvious.

Without hesitation the male slunk forward, his small frame close to the earth and his tail curled 'twixt his hind legs. A low whimper left the creature's lips, his entire being looking far more pathetic than usual, as he slid closer to her. He knew he could've grasped the opportunity to escape, to free himself, but Newt had never treated him badly. Except for perhaps the first time they'd met, but Domovei had convinced himself he'd deserved it. He knew not to play with fire -- he'd gotten burned, and he had scolded himself for being so stupid and careless. And yet he would've change things even if he could. He was devoted to her, and this much was obvious as he slid near her side, much more willing to be close to her so long as Kaios was not near. Was he dead? Or would he come barreling in and snarl at him 'til he slid away once again? For now, only time would tell.
