Hymn felt heavy, something was wrong. He'd flickered in and out of Abaven's lands for the last few days but as his paws "carried" him over the familiar territory now he felt like something was choking him. He was more tangible now, he could actually feel things now though he found moving too fast made him feel very very bad indeed like his head was suddenly filled with thousands of buzzing flies and like he was sinking into the ground. So he moved calmly even as a feeling of dread started to fill the man up. He was drawn one place and one place only, his sick son's den. The sight he saw first made him frown, Noko was standing at attention outside of Octave's den and the man picked up his pace just as much as his current state would allow. "Noko?" He asked and the lemur looked back at him, and he realized she hadn't been at attention. Rather she'd been forcing herself to stay upright while tears flowed down her face, hiding her anguish, from Octave or everyone else he could not say.
"You said you weren't an angel of death." She tried to make it sound light and playful but there was a genuine bitterness and fear in her tone and Hymn felt his heart break. "He's not doing well, I don't think he's got long left." Hymn approached her and gently scooped up the lemur, ignoring her shocked squeak as his paws actually connected with him and then she collapsed into his forelimb, unable to stay any stronger. Then Hymn entered his son's den.
