Its a strange world

Naps never seemed to be long enough, but it was hard to be upset when he had his true love’s soft features greeted him from slumber. A deep but soft voice greeted him as Hika blinked himself into wakefulness. Even with his gentle words the pale koi wolf could feel the tension rolling off Mort’s form in waves. The winged man made himself comfortable in bed beside him before he began to speak, having just come from a meeting with his father.

Silver eyes met blue and Hika wrapped his smaller paws around Hika’s bigger hand. He didn’t know what to expect, but kohl lined ears perked to listen to difficult words. Hikaru held his breath when Mortis paused after speaking about his brother’s puppies. Then… Then his heart dropped with his jaw. The cold hard fact was that Hikaru could never do what the Armada Warlord wished. Mortis had to be with someone else for that to happen. There was no way he was misunderstanding, and he didn’t know how Sirius could do something like this to his own son… or to him.

Hika couldn’t hold Mort’s gaze as the shock overwhelmed him, shock and pain that he wouldn’t ever really be enough. "How can he do this to us?” He whispered when Mort muttered his name looking for reassurance. Hika was aware to a degree the trouble in the Warlord’s marriage, he knew what it was like to have that one and only. He had seen his fare of troubles, how could he ask something like this of his son?
