Her words stunned him quickly and absolutely. She was apologizing for existing? Did she realize that her existence was the only reason Dayton was alive? His jaw dropped, nearly releasing the fragile shell. At first he scrambled to keep it in his grip, but as he saw her running he decided it was a lost cause and let it fall to the cushioned grass. His paws avoided it as he sprinted after Misha. Oh well. He would have to track it down later.

As his legs moved over each other again and again, his mind flew back to the first time Misha had fled from him. It seemed that she had panic attacks quite often, but all he would need to do was calm her down. Things would be fine. Besides, he hardly knew who she was the first time she had run from him. That's why he had let her go. But not this time.

Dayton's slight figure moved easily through the trees, trailing where the female had gone. He found her quickly, as she had stopped to bash her head against a nearby tree. He immediately rushed over to her and led her away from the hazard, curling his small body around her like a security blanket. He pulled her slowly and tenderly down to the ground, forcing her to lay down and breathe and think this over.

"Shh, Misha..." he whispered, rocking her a bit. "Just relax, love. I'm here. I'm with you. Everything is fine."

For some, dealing with frequent anxiety attacks would be a hassle. But Dayton had never been more willing to do anything in his life. He loved Misha and he would do anything to keep her. He ached for her to be happy again, giving her forehead a quick lick as he murmured soothing words in her ear. "Be careful, my dear. Now listen to me. You are the only meaningful thing in my life. Why would you ever apologize for existing? You did nothing wrong, it was a small misunderstanding. Nothing at all of any importance. Shh, love, everything is fine." And he stayed that way, calming his mate, until she broke out of this land of panic.
