your cryin eyes

Dominus watched her carefully as she hung her head, concerned for the well-being of whoever this Motif was. He waited for her to explain, but before she could.. a horde of small animals seemed to run past them. Dominus did his best to move and avoid them running over his large paws, but there were too many. Eventually, he stood still and let them scurry past him as they pleased.

He looked up to Poem as she pulled her paw up with a vole attached, questioning what was going on. Dominus wasn't used to being asked to figure out situations, so at first.. he didn't even register that she was asking him to explain what was happening. After a moment, he shook his head and continued to watch the animals.

"I think they are fleeing, they are not attacking us. We should run with them." He wasn't sure what it was they were running from, but if it was enough to have this many creatures fleeing their homes in the middle of the night, something bad had to be approaching. He remembered when the lava poured from Volkan on the day his sister died and how the birds had fled before the fires started. He prayed that was not what was in store for them on this night.

"Come on, let's go." He would carry her if he had to, but he wasn't going to leave her behind just in case there was danger. Especially not if someone else had already gone missing.
