i'm tired of picturing love

"Talk" Walk

He'd been closer to the entrance to the cavern, staring into the tide pools that littered the fringes of the territory, staring at his reflection. His mind was empty, however, even though he tried hard to think about something. Anything. His past. His present. His future. Whatever. But...nothing came. It was only darkness. His mind was silent. Not even his demon whispered to him. Well, since his mind was quiet, he might as well go out and do some work to occupy himself, right? As he stood up to leave, he suddenly heard Eden frantically calling his name. His good ear twitched towards her voice, and not a moment later he lumbered into the cavern to find her looking like she was in pain.

"The pups, they're coming," What!? "Already!?" She asked him to make sure that nobody came in, and of course, he nodded. While the birth of Sparrow's pups had been chaotic and a total shit show, he was sure Eden didn't want such a moment to be an event for all the world to see. Before he knew it though, something had slipped out of her to which she quickly turned to clean it up and brought it to her belly.

He had never seen someone give birth before, and here he was in the front row watching it happen. He wasn't sure how to feel about it. It was equally gross, as well as fascinating to watch something come to life like that. The pup was similar to Eden in color with gold markings akin to the feathers of a bird. He was curious to know what the rest would look like. "If you need anything, my companions and I can get it for you." He offered. That way she could focus on this and not worry about anything else. His heart pounded in his chest, wondering if any of these kids would inherit the Praetor Demon...and if they did, he wasn't sure what he would do about it...the world didn't need more unpredictable chaos...
