Oh, Let's Go Back To The Start...

The sound of hurried footsteps pulled his attention away from the sleeping man and he pushed off of the bloodied fur to run to meet his aunt. His mouth fell open as he started to speak, but before he knew it he was being pulled in by her arm for inspection. "I'm fine!" Deus assured her, his voice shaking. "Uncle Aureus s-saved me!" His name was enough to break the pup's dam once more and his breath caught on a loud wet sob. He moved to press his face into her chest fur, transferring Eliphas' blood from his face onto Fel's glossy black coat. "H-he needs help!" Calling forth the bravery to turn backwards to direct her, he got only as far as waving his paw when he saw the thick blood trail Eliphas had left behind. He turned away so sharply that the movement pained his neck, aiming to wrap both forelegs around Fel's limb and hold it to him.

The situation as far as Deus was concerned was very dire, maybe if Fel moved fast enough she could save his beloved uncle from the rocks. No matter how much he told himself to let go and let her save him, his little paws refused to obey the command. Her presence was too comforting, and he didn't want to be alone again. The tremors in his bones continued, though he wasn't sure if it was his terror or the sudden cold that had washed over him. An Abraxas needed to be brave even when he was afraid, that much Deus knew. He reluctantly forced himself to release her, taking cautious steps back towards Eliphas' body. "Go g-get him, I'll stay with E-Eliphas.. I'll-I'll tell him to find you when he wakes u-u-up." Though verbally he encouraged her onwards, his body language screamed the opposite. Tiny tail was tucked far between his legs, his ears pulling to each side of his head, and his expression was pleading.
