Finding our future

Crux · Updated 04/30/23:

Crux probably should have assumed Triss would have been there, but he normally had such a bead on her that he failed to account for his own stress making him much less observant than he'd care to admit. Hard to fault him really, he'd uprooted so much of his life to join Hellborn, hard for him not to feel invested in its continued existence... Especially with an impending wedding and the promise he'd made to Tris: that they'd have a family together, one way or the other. Hard to blame him for having tunnel vision. Still it did mean her words partially surprised him. Crux sighed. He doubted she needed a lecture on how dangerous it had been for her to be there, and it certainly wouldn't help matters at this point anyways.

Crux stepped gingerly towards Cryptis, settling next to her and gently fishing a foreleg out to scoop her close. "C'mere." His voice was soft but didn't waver. She'd been his strength more than a few times now, it was his turn to be her rock.

"Your mother was tended to. Left her in the care of Stolas once I made sure she was all taken care of." He was trying to reassure her, even if he still felt some guilt having left the woman with him. The man was more capable at getting her home sure but it didn't mean he was blind to the optics of having left, even if it was in search of the former princess.

"We're free to go so I figure there will probably be a lot of talk about what we're doing next once your mother has had some time to rest. But I want to make sure we know what we want before that." He paused briefly, wanting to let her have a chance to consider. And definitely not because what he was about to say next made him nervous at all. "I also want your opinion on pushing the date of our wedding up." He did his best not to sound too excited by the idea, his mouth barely twitching into the hint of a smile. There was a lot of reasons, many of them logical or rooted in wanting to try and lift the mood in the long term... But maybe it was also just that recent events were making him feel like there was little reason to wait at this point. He didn't want to regret taking too long...
