Darkness. It was his constant companion now. It was odd to have it as a companion, when the only times he would see darkness was during his slumber, and not even really then because he would usually dream. But now, darkness was his companion, day and night, everyday, all day. It was a bit unnerving at the beginning. The first few days he would wake up in a cold sweat, unable to understand why he couldn't see anything and Maija would have to explain to him over and over that he was blind. It took about a week or so for the full effect of his new condition to really sink in, but now that he was getting used to it, it didn't bother him nearly as much. It was just another thing that he had to learn to live with.
Mammoth paws pulled the Re slowly through his kingdom, muzzle lowered towards his paws as was custom now, plume sweeping between his hocks, tattered ears swiveling to and fro, listening for anything that might catch his attention. A quiet sobbing not too far ahead caught his attention, pace coming to a halt, skull lifting as scarred nostrils flared, catching Hajime's scent. Curious as to what the young man was up to, the cobalt Re would begin moving forward again, nosing his way through the brush until Hajime's scent became overwhelming. Hajime? Are you alright? Taurig could taste the saltiness in the air and he could only assume that the man was crying. He approached closer, reaching out with his muzzle to hopefully bump it against the man's shoulder.
