when the world is falling apart

Broken, he felt broken. A ghost of the strength he had possessed just the day before. The weary pain wrapped about his heart, and clouded everything else. He had changed the course of his future, and he was afraid. He hadn't come here looking for Ignita, but hearing her desire to leave turned something inside of him. How easily pain turned to anger.

“Leave then, if you're so desperate to.” He growled. He pushed her physically with a paw, pushing her away from him. Because he knew the alternative would be to pin her down, and hold her close. Suffocate her. But he didn’t throw away one future, just so he could burn the other. He turned his back on her, resting his head on his paws. He knew he needed time and rest, but he intended to get back up on his paws and find Spider shortly.
