Cover up the poison with poetry

Azure was absolutely prepared to head off in search of whatever asshole had made her cry, already imagining the particular body parts he may rid them of and how he'd explain away the transgression to his father. He needed only for her to give him a name, and once she did his bubble was forced to burst. Chimera, a prince of Ashen and of a standing higher then his own. Venom's brother. Deathbelle's son. Fucking fuck, fuck.

He turned back towards her as she continued to explain, his expression pained. Tattered ears fell back along his skull and he knew there was little he could to to retaliate, no matter how much he'd long to do it for her. "I'm so sorry, Hana." Az's head lowered between his shoulders, a grimace forming on his lips. Guilt was another emotion he was not accustomed to, but as her sobbing intensified he felt it coming in waves.

When she looked back at him with those wide, sad eyes he let out a heavy and frustrated sigh. "No, no. It's not true. Come here." Azure did not quite give her the chance to obey his request, instead reaching for her with muddied paws to grasp her to his chest. His head he aimed to rest upon her own, hoping she'd feel more secure in his embrace. "Chimera is cruel, he only wishes to see others in pain. He lied to hurt you." The prince told her gently. "I cannot punish him for it, Hanako. His position is above my own. But if you see him again you tell him that if he places a single paw upon your beautiful coat that I will rid him of it. This I promise to you, my father will understand." He hoped, at least, that Sirius would approve.
