His smile faded when he noticed Yurei's expression and a frown began to form on his features as she spoke. He knew it wasn't a solution, but he couldn't help the rolling anger he always felt toward the wolves that had caused her this pain and turmoil. He had accepted long ago that there was nothing that could have been done to prevent the problems and struggles he faced besides him never being born in the first place, but hers had been preventable. They were mental scars left behind by wolves with twisted beliefs. When she pressed her face into his chest he tucked his head down over hers and held her more tightly against him, as if he could physically shield her from these things that were causing her so much hurt. He almost wished that it was something in the physical world that he could protect her from instead so he could at least meet it with teeth and claws. It was much harder to protect her from things inside her own mind. That was a feeling he knew all too well with himself, but he was still figuring out how to best support her in this endeavor to help her move on. "The next time you have a nightmare, wake me up. I don't care what time it is. Wake me up and tell me about it so I can help you through it," he insisted, lifting his head from hers a bit so he could turn his head to let his eyes meet hers. "Even if you don't want to talk about it, just wake me up so I can be with you, okay? You're not alone any more. You never need to feel alone. I'm here for you." The same way that she had been there for him when he needed her most. They would forever be each other's support. He needed her and she needed him. Casso brought his right paw to her chin, gently lifting her muzzle so that he could place a gentle kiss on her lips. His paw shifted to rest lightly on her cheek, keeping her from looking away as his two-toned eyes met the gorgeous green of hers. "I love you. You are my entire world, never forget that. You are so much more than they had ever let you believe." There was only so much he could do or say to help her through this and he knew it. She had to heal on her own, but he would carry and process as much of this burden for her as she would let him. Anything she needed to get off of her chest he would listen to and any time she needed reinforcement for how amazingly wonderful she was he would be here to give that to her. |
