This Tree It Will Die

The man would settle inside the den he shared with Arian, feeling the sting of his wounds. He felt like absolute trash, his heart aching more than the physical wounds that he bore. It was more the sense of failure in bringing Hakku home as well. But Cy... he couldn't risk getting taken too. He had to come home for the sake of Arian and his children. His little babies. He would glance at the sleeping bundles, his heart giving a harder pang. What was worse... losing and uncle or a father?
Cy would take a deep breath, letting his gaze turn to Arian. He couldn't imagine her worry, or what her state of mind could be right now. Noticing his state, and the fact that Hakku had not returned with him had to be obvious that something had happened. Cy would swallow hard, his voice quiet when he began.
"We were ambushed by another hunting party, Arian... a party looking not for prey but slaves. Hakku and I fought them, but these wolves were of the size that Amachi is. I'd never seen so many of that size together in one place... I... I'm sorry... I saw the opportunity to run and took it. But Hakku... they took him..." Cy could no longer look at her, letting his gaze fall to the ground. "I just... I'm sorry..." His voice was a whimper, betraying the guilt he felt.
"Speech"
