Zelda could tell that he misunderstood. His choice of words everything he said. No, she wasn’t going to do away with those who hurt him. That would fix nothing, he would find soon enough that ridding the world of the things he hated, that had made him how he was would not bring him any more pleasure or healing. No. The hatred and darkness in his heart alone would be hers for the taking if he could even be saved from it. Some were too late to save, right now Zelda was uncertain if the brute before her could repent for what he has done or even stop the dark path he was walking on. If he even wanted too. There had to be some innate desire somewhere to be on the other path to be saved after all. However, she didn’t reply simply let out a soft sound of acknowledgement as he turned then and went to fetch the girls. Leaving her and Aspis alone.

Zelda turned her full attention to Aspis then, her teal eyes resting on his own orbs and watching his facial features carefully as she spoke. He wasn’t guarded, like a book really so much like his father in that regard, but he had that ever burning confidence from both sides of his family, perhaps impetuousness was what she would even call it. While it was formed into a different body it was clear who’s child he was to her. He could see the weight of worry fall from him as he found out that most of his family was safe, though he was not so pleased to find out Halcyon was gone. His accusing tones caused her eyes to narrow upon him, blaming her or anyone else for allowing the actions of another like this was going to solve nothing. ”I assume gathering his allies to get you and your sister back. I plan to leave and find him right away to put a stop to that.” She whispered softly in return, trying to quickly put him back at ease before continuing. SHe was not about to be scolded by him when he didn’t understand, though a sigh came from her maw. She knew she should have tried harder to assure Halcyon, but really did Halcyon ever trust her to follow through with what she said? Hopefully with proof now she could get him to desist from his fool’s errand.

However his response to her words causes her to frown. ”Can you explain why it’s their fault? More than just saying wrong place and wrong time? That it could have been anyone and anywhere else and it still could have happened? The only one to blame is him. He chose to do this to you, your parents didn’t come here thinking this would happen. If they knew it would have do you think they ever would have returned?” She asked him, truly did he feel this way? Perhaps the corruption was indeed starting, but his other words his other care he was giving them. He was off the path, but he wasn’t gone entirely, not yet. She couldn’t let that happen. He was a child she chided herself, malleable and Blackthorne was taking advantage to it. Perhaps she had been wrong about how lost the Darkbringer was after all. His words were almost contradictory. Blaming them yet wanting to protect them. It frustrated her somewhat that he couldn’t see this.

She keeps his message though, and those seemingly were her parting words of wisdom, she wished she had more time, but perhaps she had slightly less confidence in the boys mental well being than she had at the start much to the chagrin of the wolfess. Zelda had to hurry and find a way to free him too. She nodded at his words a smile once again playing at her maw, her thoughts regarding her confidence hidden. No. She had to believe in him best she could, but she also knew she had to hurry.

He had returned though, the children joining her, and she shepherd them to Teza. ”I won’t, but I will be back, I promise that as well.” Her eyes didn’t leave his silver orbs ten she turned letting Teza and the girls take the lead out of the pack. She hoped that Aspis believed her, and had more confidence in her than his father had. Now she just had to prove it to Halcyon and find him too...
