when everything's broken

Hikaru raced from Mort’s side, eager to find his sister and get back to the winged heir. He still didn’t full understand what was going on, but he’d vowed to do anything Mortis asked. Including finding Aslatiel and giving her a head’s up to where her brother would be. Hika wasn’t sure how much to reveal to the girl, but he knew if anyone could help it was her. Mortis felt like he needed to get away, and Hika would facilitate that desire to his best ability.

His moving paws helped to keep his worries at bay, but mostly he just worried about his friend. Mortis was hurting, and badly, and he felt so powerless to help. This was the true Mortis, and Hika would do absolutely anything to see the fanged heir’s smile once more. He didn’t deserve to suffer these emotions, and deep down Hika blamed Hanako. Hika didn’t care if he was wrong, he needed something or someone to lay the effects on. It just happened Hana was an excellent target.

”Aslatiel?” He called out as he raced to the training dummies, hoping she was here and he wouldn’t have to search long.
