The situation unfolding around him almost seemed like a dream. Things were happening but he couldn't really process what all it actually meant. Most of these dreams commonly ended up the same, turning into just another nightmare of the recent events. Should he be turning around and heading the opposite way? This did not make any sense at all, why was Parelia here? What was going on? "He is safe." The gentle words took away his initial fears of something happening to his son but still his muscles stayed tense. Everything had put him so on edge the last couple weeks making him virtually feel like he was unable to relax even when there was no physical danger around him.

Hearing his name leave her lips he felt inclined to try and comfort his soulmate and try and take away her worries but how could he do this after everything? Did she even want him around anymore? If he went to her would she just turn him away as she had before? Pain made his heart swell making each breath a struggle, he did not know what to do.. While he wanted to pull her close and make everything just disappear he restrained himself with much difficulty not wanting to make things worse between them. He had longed every day they had been apart for things to go back to the way they were. He had missed them so much it hurt to think about.

"Pare.lia.. I.. I don't understand..." He managed softly his voice hollow and lost in the dead silence around them. The sentence had meant to be much more but he found himself struggling for words as he fought back the pain within. He wanted to tell her everything was alright and not to worry but that would be a lie considering he couldn't believe it himself. Why was she so upset? It was killing him to not be able to draw her close like old times, to love her like she was supposed to be, to be a father to his son.. His eyes couldn't leave her face fearing she would disappear and he would have to realize this was really all in his head.

"What's wrong? You are upset.." His question finally managed to take form as his mind slowly recovered from such a shock of running into his love again. He did not know where things would go from here but the one thing he did know was he couldn't just turn his back on them. With this acceptance in himself he flinched away from the throbbing pain shooting through his macerated flesh upon his shoulder and neck. By the feeling of it there was likely blood staining much of the area by now, it would eventually stop and scab over again..

It was taking much restraint for the tigress to stay put in her hiding spot when she wanted to force her bonded to do something about his wounds. She had left him for less than twelve hours and he had managed to hurt himself more! They would eventually have to show themselves to the two lovebirds but it was too soon, she could still feel the sorrow through their bond. Just make it go away.. Shaking her head she turned to pacing back and forth along the branch she was perched upon trying to be patient with her bonded. How did he expect her to be patient when he goes and does who knows what to himself. Growling her displeasure she sighed before making herself sit in one place. It was hard enough trying to hide her presence from his mind, this was just making it harder.
