Remedy

Surely the Fallen God would not let his family perish in vain. Typhon hoped there was some purpose behind what had happened, though surely when Malleus called the pack together again he might have some insight into those events. The Abraxas had been loyal followers... had they not been? Thinking about it too deeply only made his head ache, and he decided he wasn't one meant to interpret signs from the Fallen God to begin with. That sort of thing was best left to other members of his family, members who knew far more than he did. It simply was not his place. He watched quietly, curiously, as Zinnia's expression morphed, obviously finding the news unpleasant. If he had doubted her devotion to the Abraxas family, her expression of genuine empathy only confirmed her loyalties now.

"I do hope so," he breathed finally, hoping his voice didn't betray the slight nervousness he felt at the potential to not find the others. What would Amon say, if he ever returned? Would he be disappointed in their choices, or commend Ashiel for doing what he had been capable of in his absence? He could only hope that everything would work out in the end, and it seemed that Zinnia believed it would. He'd try to grasp on to her hope to assuage the sudden whirlwind of worry building inside his chest.

Her question caught him slightly off guard, and he hesitated before responding. "I... dragged you here." Perhaps there was a less awkward way of putting it, but that was what he'd had to do. Some of her soreness no doubt had come from the way he'd handled her, but he'd made a choice and had to stick with it. Leaving her unattended to bring a healer to her later hadn't been an option, not with her being unconscious.  "I.. tried to be careful, but..." Typhon shrugged, feeling his expression twisting slightly.  "Dragging someone across the continent isn't exactly easy." Perhaps if he'd possessed a larger, bulkier build he would've been able to sling her over his back and carry her that way, but he hadn't and he'd made do with his only option - and despite feeling a bit weird reflecting on it now, he was sure he'd made a good choice.
