Just Because It Burns

After her previous encounter with Alastor, Relm had kept spiraling downwards emotionally. Outside she may not have seemed much different. It was easy to assume she'd keep her distance after everything that happened and she had kept to herself before hand anyway. Maybe it was nothing out of the norm. But she was severely wrecked inside. Emotions in general weren't very easy for her. So everything would just stay in a placeholder somewhere around her heart. Almost waiting to burst out.

She didn't know of Ikigai being pregnant, and therefor didn't know of the loss she had herself. How ironic. She had noticed a little bit more scarcity from her friend, or as much as a friend as Iki may have seen her. She believed Ikigai to be hers. But she didn't really label it as scarce on her part. Relm just believed it was time escaping her, or her own fault for insolating herself. So she wouldn't find anything amiss.

She found Iki's scent towards her den, Deimos wasn't here at the moment luckily. Relm didn't really dislike him but being anything more than civil with anyone would be a little odd for her. Unless they showed her the sense of kindness that Iki had given her, they were pushed into some far space in the back of her mind. She lifted her claws to make a quiet tap on the stone outside before taking careful steps in, "Iki?" She carried with her a pelt of a grizzly bear that she had intended to gift Iki from when she had brought her gifts in her recovery. The pelt faded into different browns and greys and had been washed well before she brought it here, not that her friend could see all of that right now. She would just wait until Ikigai would actually allow her in, or turn her away.
