Hymn listened as his son spoke, he watched and listened and tried to suppress a frown every time Octave was wracked by a coughing fit. Hymn silently prayed his son was not wasting away in front of his eyes. Finally, Octave seemed to lull himself to sleep and Hymn reached out a paw, desperately hoping he could gently embrace his son but predictably his toes went through Octave's shoulder. Hymn sighed and rose to his paws. Noko approached her tiny face full of concern. "Are you here to take him away?" She stared up at him. Hymn shook his head. "I do not know why I am here, but I am no angle of death. I do not know how long I will still be here, please watch after him in my stead." "I'll do what I can... " The Lemur looked up at him and nodded sadly. "I think seeing you helped to settle him at least." She gently brushed one of her forepaws through Octave's snowy white fur. "Losing his brother was hard on him... I think he's scared of leaving Kite behind the way Allegro left his children and Octave." Hymn nodded. "Noko, thank you for being his friend." Hymn stepped away, though he flashed the lemur a smile and she gave him a nod. He stalked away from his sleeping son, wondering if he would get a chance to see his grandkids. |
I just got back from moving, please help me catch up by dropping threads I owe here. <3
