The boy was always causing trouble for Natu it seemed. Least he thought so. He knew it was some locked up part of her now that caused her to kidnap him but since then his presence has always tortured her. He felt guilty for enjoying that fact for a long time, perhaps this was fates way of saying enough’s enough and get him out of the way. He wasn’t sure why he was thinking this, yeah he wondered if he was in the way of Natu and her new life before but now he knew he could make it on his own right? He didn’t need to be out of the way and dead but by fate’s will it seemed maybe he did. He squeezed his orange eyes shut at the pain that flowed threw him like water over rocks assailing him at every direction and not sparing any second of his body as pain wracked his very being.

He couldn’t even give a response again after he asked if he was dying, deny it as she would he was feeling it was true right now for surely this was what death felt like. She didn’t want him to die though. She wouldn’t let him either and right now he wasn’t sure if that scared him or brought comfort to him. A howl was loosed from her maw then and Sven felt his tail twitching out behind him but at least he didn’t feel like he was going to be sick again, not immediately at least, but the world was still spinning around. He wanted out of this and he hoped maybe whoever his mother figure was calling would be able to stem the pain and swirling world.

It felt like no time that another set of paws came to his ears, another female called out to Natu asking him how long he had been like this. He cracked open an eye spotting a female he recognized as a healer but never formally met. As she turned her questions on him about eating something bad he shook his head as best he could in the snow. He didn’t think he had…. He had some hare from the free lands but it was fresh he killed it himself it wasn’t bad.

C-ca-can you stop it?” He asked his deep voice so meek so not fitting for a boy of his size and age and perhaps unbecoming for someone of his stature. But he felt so weak right now he needed someones help and he wasn’t beyond pride to ask for it and see what they could do for him.
