I've got all these demons

"It's fine," he assured her with a slight smile. "I won't move too much." Did they still hurt? Of course. Did he still feel like he was mentally teetering on an edge of a cliff? Undeniably. However, he refused to let her worry about him any longer so he hid it well behind his now calmed facade and slight curve to his lips. He needed to be strong for her for his own peace of mind. The longer he wallowed in his own self pity and anger the longer he was going to be trapped by it. It wasn't going away any time soon so the best he could do for now was ignore it and put his full undivided attention on this woman who might have possibly saved him from himself. Having something to focus on was the best way for him to get out of his own mind and she provided that for him ten fold. He knew she was right when she stated that he needed to rest. He wanted to get these back into the pack lands since he was sure some other creature would come and eat from them or take them before he had a chance to come back to them. It was a frustrating situation, but all he could do was hope that perhaps they would still be here tomorrow. He sighed and nodded, "Alright... Let's head back. I'll see if Ignis will help me bring these back tomorrow." One night's worth of rest probably wouldn't even scratch the surface of the kind of rest he needed, but it would be a start. It would at least give his wounds enough time to begin mending so perhaps he wouldn't make them begin to bleed again right away as he was working on breaking down the kills he had made. If they eded up getting scavenged before then, well... that was just a chance he had no choice but to take. He pulled himself to his paws, the movement making his shoulder ache. His ears flicked at the feeling, but otherwise he hid whatever pain or discomfort he felt. He had only brought this on himself so it only felt like his own form of punishment for what he had done. "I'll take you up on that tea when we get back," he added as he looked to her with another slight smile, leaning down so he could press his nose to her cheek for a moment. He surprised himself with how much physical affection he wanted to give her since he had never enjoyed that sort of thing before, but her presence and her scent were calming to him so he found himself drawn to her more and more. He started the steady walk back to Winterfell's lands and the ship that he called home, only letting himself limp slightly as he went. |
