Though he hated to admit it but seeing Novel ill had hit him the hardest. It didn't mean to say that cared any less for his grandchildren or his niece or nephew but simply the affects of his mate's illness had truly been awful to witness. Numerous different symptoms had flown around making it hard to find the cure though in Novel's case awful hallucinations of her father had struck and as much as he wished to there hadn't even been a way for Dutiron to comfort her as those visions plagued her mind.
He had left her sleeping and had hoped in some ways that she would still be resting upon his return. Though her strength was certainly regaining he still wished to be at her side when she awoke, just in case she needed anything. He couldn't quite tell but she was certainly awake now as she spoke his name as he moved inside the den. "I'm here my love." He responded softly, stepping to her side and nuzzling her lovingly in greeting.
