He was quick to comfort her as best as he could, something she appreciated in the Fatalis. They would figure everything out together eventually, they had to. She pressed her features into the thick fur of his neck in search of more support and comfort. She felt more like a child now than she had since her father’s death. ”We will.” She agreed softly, feeling the tug of uncertainty. She couldn’t be confident in a decision that was so difficult to make. She very nearly forgot that he’d come to ask a favor of her until Azure was speaking again.

Confusion filled her eyes as he continued, speaking again of Hattori but this time for different reasons. Venom very nearly didn’t believe him, but he’d gained her trust with how honest he had been with her in their quiet moments here. He apologized further, and chased all ill conceited thoughts from her mind. He was doing this for his own special other, and denying her the presence of one most important. Who could possibly step up to take Hattori’s place when he was so important to the running of the pack while she was injured. Azure was asking to cripple her even further for a week. Though she kept her emotions at bay, her worry was obvious in her sunset gaze.

”You would stay with me, Azure?” She whispered softly, knowing there were none beyond Sirius she would trust to carry out her will.
