[Torin] Whatever it takes

Speech

Torin softened his expression as a wave of guilt washed over him, watching as his sister jumped. He lowered his head slightly, meeting his sister's gaze, his brows furrowed in apology. How he'd managed to forget his sister was jumpy was beyond him, maybe he simply had been spending more time with Derecho and forgotten his sister's case.  "C'est d'accord." He spoke, his voice softer again, not wishing to spook her more than he already had.

She sighed and spoke, switching to English and Torin also sighed, nodding his head slightly. "That and..." He trailed off, indicating the many holes she'd dug into the ground around them. Then he fixed her with a concerned stare. "Jewell, I'm worried about you." His voice was earnest, uncharacteristically open. "I told you that I'd never let anyone hurt you right? Do you- do you believe that?" He couldn't help but feel partially to blame for whatever was plauging his sister; he had let the Abraxas man into the heart of their packlands; and he couldn't help but feel like it was directly his fault she was falling apart like this. But he meant it, if he'd sensed that Seth was a threat to her or anyone else he'd not have allowed him in; and he would stand by that decision.
