Finding our future
Tris

Crux tipped his head back slightly so Tris couldn't see his grimace. Mentally berating himself. Of course he was pushing too far too fast. He took a breath to recenter himself before he dropped his head back, even reaching down to nose at Cryptis lovingly. "You're right." He said softly, gently squeezing her closer for a moment before he released slightly, lowering himself onto his stomach so he could be closer to her eye level. "I can't return Hellborn to you. What I can promise is that I'm not going anywhere. For as long as it's within my power I'll be here for you, as long as you'll have me." He couldn't give her her kingdom back, but Crux could make sure she knew she still had a place to go. "I can't speak for what it meant to you but Hellborn to me hasn't ever really been the pack. It was your family. It was a safe place to go when I could no longer go back to my old home. It was you. Hellborn to me is still you. It's the family I want to become a part of. The family I want to have with you." He sighed. He knew he sometimes tried too hard to fix things for her and he couldn't help but feel maybe that was the case now but he still meant what he said. "I can't give you Hellborn the pack back. But Hellborn doesn't have to be gone. We're here, together. Your mom and your siblings, they're all still here." Crux sighed, looking beyond Tris for a moment as he slowly formulated his thoughts into words. "We don't need to decide anything right now. I think I just got swept up in feeling like things could change so quickly and I didn't want to give life any more chances to do so. But what matters is we're here. We're all safe. I don't need more than that." She was the one really hurting here between the pair of them and he needed to do his best to remind himself he couldn't just solve all her problems. Sometimes time just had to pass, frustrating as it was to not be able to just make everything right... For her. |

Updated 04/30/23: Still on indefinite scarcity, please do not remind me of threads I am behind on right now.
Crux has a 6 inch long burn scar on his throat, most of his art does not reflect this.
