Ikigai, his beloved cousin, was painfully distraught. Though her expression barely shifted from that of pure exhaustion, he could see in her eyes that she was incredibly stressed by all of the happenings lately. She explained that the pack had been gripped by madness, and that his mother had been right about the supernatural all along. He had never doubted that notion, but it felt... inappropriate to say aloud right now. Perhaps another day, in the future, they could discuss this. She asked after himself, his family. Slowly, the yearling nodded his head. "They are.. alright. Mother has been acting strangely, as has Faith.. I believe the spirits may have infected them somehow, I've noticed more and more of the same fluid that you have, though theirs have different hues." he admitted it in a whisper soft voice, as though bringing the truth to light were only now making it all real. His mother and sister were sick, and he was worried. "Hallux.." his gaze turned upon the bird who was leaning heavily against his neck, her breathing unsteady. "I'm worried, Iki. I don't want to lose them. Or you." gentle lyrics held back the pain that was a vice grip on his heart, sharp spines protruding into his lungs and making it hard to breathe for a moment or two.

Dainty forepaw rose slowly, and he placed it gingerly over her much smaller alabaster toes. Two toned eyes sought her silvery gaze, though it was stained that eerie amaranth like a thousand tiny vessels spilled blood into her eyes. "Is there anything I can do to help?" he asked softly, auds tipping back against his skull with the utmost concern. Should he bring her elsewhere, or return her to the empire's territories? It was hard to say..
