Because, you know, I'm a pirate

Corvus was admittedly a stubborn guy, and he was seriously torn between annoyed at Peggy and deeply concerned for her. His gaze lifted to Rhyme when he asked if he could have a private word with her, and Corvus hesitated for a moment before following. He wasn't going to stand around with these two strangers and he desperately wanted to know what exactly was going on. Finally he trailed after Rhyme, his brows furrowing in confusion as he spoke. Wait, they wanted to take Peggy's kids? What the hell? He bristled as Rhyme told her she could leave Abaven if she wanted. Surely that wasn't what she wanted.. right? He tilted his head to her, trying to contain his confusion and hoping his gaze didn't look too pleading. When she spoke, she was addressing him as well as Rhyme, apologizing and trying to explain herself. Almost instantly he felt all of his annoyance melt away. "No, you - you've been fine," Corvus lied quickly, wanting to assure her that she didn't need to feel any worse than she clearly already did. She'd.. thought she'd been in love? His gaze softened sympathetically. Her embarrassment was palpable and he found himself feeling a bit embarrassed himself for her. She'd been through a lot, was going through a lot, obviously she had been keeping to herself... and though she said she'd considered joining his pack, in the end she wanted to stay here. Corvus felt himself breath a sigh of relief, releasing air he hadn't realized he'd been holding in, deciding he wasn't sure what he would've done had she decided to leave. Abaven without Peggy wouldn't be right. His attention jerked back to her when she recoiled in pain, and his eyes frantically found Rhyme - who announced the pups were coming. Seriously? Already? Eyes wide, he looked from Rhyme to Peggy and back again, occasionally glancing at the two strangers who still lingered. Hell, if they tried to take her pups - that was a weird thought, Peggy having kids, and one he was sure would take a long while to get used to - he'd fight for them himself, consequences be damned. They needed to remain in Abaven, no matter what. |
