All the adrenaline he'd felt on the way here seemed to fade all at once now that he was here, and now he just felt completely exhausted. At least he felt safe, despite everything else, which he supposed was a start. Maybe he'd even be able to sleep - something he wasn't sure would happen if he'd stayed back home. "If not.. oh well," Corvus shrugged, stifling a sigh. The burns would heal on their own, though if Ignis came up with something that might help.. well, he was sure the healing process would be hurried along. Regardless, he trusted Ignis and figured he'd come up with something, however minimal. He groaned a bit as he stood, leaning against him as they headed toward Ignis's den.
"A piggyback ride? Yeah right; I'd crush you," Corvus jested, despite the fact that Ignis was definitely the bigger of the two, letting out a sound that was a wince mixed with a slight laugh. Ignis's smile was clearly contagious, and he mirrored it with a small one of his own. Each step seemed somehow more painful as they got closer to his den, and by the time they arrived he was visibly wincing with each step he took.
He nodded at Ignis explaining he shared his den with his sister. Was she here now, he wondered? He didn't pay much attention to his surroundings, slipping inside toward the space his friend directed him to. He was grateful to get off his paws, and he slid easily into the sleeping space Ignis occupied - his scent was strong here, and it was weirdly comforting in the face of everything that had happened tonight. He let out a tired sigh as he settled down, stretching his paws away from him and letting his head fall to the dirt, though before Ignis left he offered him a tired - but grateful - grin.
