I see Fire

He had passed out in a bush on his way out, utterly exhausted and completely drained of energy. All the terrible things that he had said to Rhythm came rushing back to him, making him flinch and curl into a tighter ball. That was until Motif's voice called to him, her nose sticking into the bush that had sheltered him from the light rain that had started to fall that night. He rose his head, and slowly rose to his aching paws. Stepping out to pretty much fall against Motif, he tried to hold her close. She asked if he was okay, and if their sister was as well. He ignored the question about himself, pushing himself up to a proper seated position before his eyes met hers. "She chose to stay in Imperium. I said some harsh things on the way out but... she chose them over us, Motif. After she watched me fight for her she decided to stay. She could have interrupted the fight but... she just sat there and watched." His voice crackled and broke, lids drooping to half mass as he fought with both his emotions and his state of exhaustion. He just wanted to go home and rest his paws, to lean against his wife. "I don't know what to do, I already failed her. I bet that's why she stayed, she knew that I couldn't protect her." |
