That.... that... asshat!
He had been on the verge of death and yet still managed to make a snide remark about me. It made my blood boil and yet my fear of his death stilled my tongue despite how Viserys told him to hush before our son. The reminder had shaken me from my trance to look down on little Xerxes as he tried to follow in his fathers pawsteps as a healer. He looked queasy and I wanted to go to him but I felt awful.
This was because of me, I just knew it, but I would NEVER say so out loud in front of Mugen. I didn't really care what he thought even if I didn't want him to die. But I couldn't bear Visery's blaming me. So when the group readied to travel home I made sure to stay ahead of Viserys and when he called me I childishly sped up, knowing his hip wouldn't allow him to catch me if he wanted. When we arrive in Asteraia I turn in surprise as Halcyon greets us. He bestows upon me the rank of Sneak and I stare at him aghast, looking rather ill, but I don't say anything.
Instead I head straight for our den but pause at the entrance, watching as my mate struggles closer with Xerxes. My ears fall back and I look at him beseechingly, sparing a glance at my son before I move towards Vis. My body seems to crouch down as I near him, looking up. "I'm sorry," I whisper, knowing he must surely hate me. I have always been rash, he knows this. "I did not mean for him to get hurt but I didn't know he was following me. We shouldn't have been there. Will he be alright?"
I want to lick under his chin but I know I am a coward and so I await whatever disappointment he might feel.
WHATEVER NIGHTMARE THE FUTURE HOLDS ARE DREAMS COMPARED TO WHAT'S BEHIND ME
