someone i could save
The earthen male shrugged, offering a half-hearted but weak smile. He appreciated Poser's concern, but lately...things had just been eating away at the former kings mind. Too many thoughts and doubts running around his brain, and it was something he had never felt before. He had doubts before, but not to this extent. He didn't know what depression felt like, either. And the fact that it was slowly creeping up on him confuse him. Poser offered to stay and talk with him. And at first, Dragon debated that. Did he really need someone to talk to? He usually talked to his mom, getting her opinion and insight on things. But he never really talked to her about what he was feeling, let alone the doubts and everything else. He always tried to stay strong. To show everyone else that he was fine and capable. But was he really?
After a long moment of thought, he slowly nodded. He listened as Poser told him he'd be right back, the sound of his paw steps fading away for a minute or two. He took a moment to think in the brief silence. Mostly to reflect and feel sorry for himself. It wasn't something he had done before, but as his sightless gaze moved about the interior of the castle, his heart sunk. He loved this place, but never again would he get to see the tattered banners or the decorated walls. He would never again get to see the way the sky lit up at night over the plains next door. How the very sky itself looked like...no. As much as he missed Iskra, thinking about her lately often made him feel even more sad. What if she never came back at all? What if she found someone better while she was off on her little mission? He was afraid, if he was honest with himself. If she did find someone else, if she didn't feel the same for him...then he hoped she would at least tell him so he could stop thinking so much about it.
Poser returned. And dragon listened as the male approached, letting him know that the herbs were by his foot. His head tilted downward, as he sniffed at them. His nose wrinkled, did herbs always smell like this? It kind of smelled like a skunk, but...not? He wasn't quite sure what to do at first, but after his brief inspection he guessed that maybe he was supposed to eat them. Flicking his tattered ear, he tentatively nibbled at the plant. He couldn't say he enjoyed it, but if Poser said it would help then who was he to argue? He took a small portion of the plant, chewing and swallowing it. How long would it take to kick in? He didn't even know exactly what it did, but he'd find out soon he supposed. When he was done, he stepped back so Poser could get some if he wanted. "How long does it usually take to work?" |
Dragon never goes anywhere without his Dragon armor, assume he is always wearing it unless otherwise mentioned! He also has a pair of seeing eye jaguars, assume they're always present unless otherwise mentioned.
