It ends tonight

Incubus stood still as a statue with pale eyes pouring into her as he watched her resign to his wishes. He was in deep now and he needed to know what she'd intended on ending her own life. What had brought this beautiful femme so low to feel the need to do such a thing? Pangs of sorrow moved through him in waves as he pictured what he could have happened upon if he came just minutes later. Lips involuntarily twitched into a small front that he couldn't seem to get to straighten out. As she sat down Incubus couldn't help but to feel bad for intimidating her to the point of clear submission so he eased up on the tense stance and offered much more neutral body language.

The story this solemn stranger offered brought him to hang his head gently. He never allowed his eyes to move from her out of sheer respect for the woman, Inc was making her relive some serious trauma and he wouldn't allow her to do that alone. As she went on and the story came to a conclusion Incubus moved to close the distance between them. He did not ask for permission, not caring if it was deemed inappropriate or too forward, but the male aimed to press his chest against her side and rest his head on the back of her neck. Incubus would offer a few small nuzzles if the hug was accepted and his deep tones lifted without his head moving away from her, "I've met a number of rotten limbs..." A small pause. "You are not one of them. You are a caring Mother and Healer who dealt with things completely out of our realm of control. You didn't intend to harm anyone. You are experiencing guilt for something that mother nature caused, you cannot blame yourself." Incubus took a few moments to allow her to respond or to merely share some soothing silence. "It may be torture to remain here but I will not allow you to carry this out." If he had to drag her back to Ashen and keep her there he would. He'd happily nurse her heart back to health, even if it was only to the point at which she no longer felt this deep depression.
