Still she cowers beneath him, hiding her own tears from his view as he crumples before her. A formidable figure dissolving at the sight of sorrow and fear. Though Gem did not fear for her life, her heart raced as if she were about to be slaughtered. His anger had been palpable and that much she too loathed. Loathed that she was the cause for such a powerful emotion. Trembling on the ground, curled up into that submission ball, she is surprised when she feels warm encircle her. Pulled closer into his chest, large form enveloping her into a comforting embrace, Gem peeks out from around her paws. Large, doe-like eyes blink away tears as her ears listen to the words that he says. Simurgh? Hydrae? Dead? Dead. Died. Dead. They thought she was dead. A sob chokes her. Her chest rattles, sides heaving as she fights for an anxious breath. Frazzled, confused, lost. Gem can’t think. What about the others? Phobia? Arachne? Barghest? Selkie? “Elle… Ellara is alive. I-I saw her recently. In the north,” Gem chokes out, her own face and paws reaching up to grab ahold and press tightly back into Aethon. “Wh-what about the others?” Her voice is a hoarse whisper, fear overwhelming her as she tries to believe they’re okay too. “Do…,” no, she couldn’t dare ask. She didn’t want to believe she had broken her parent’s hearts too. |
Hematite, Gem's Mastiff, is always with her unless stated he isn't.
