Red just — stayed, no matter what he did to try and make it go away. After stumbling away from The Rosebloods' territory, branches leaving bruises and scrapes from a clumsy descent down the tree's trunk, he'd just kept running. Maybe if he got far enough away from that space of imagined safety and real trauma, he could forget. But he hadn't so far. Curled up in the snow with his wings shielding him from the worst of the wind, he slept through that single moment again, and again. Sometimes he tries to think about what he could have done better, if maybe he could have saved that strange lion with the smile on his face. And that's ridiculous, 'cause he — he knows that he couldn't have.

All that does is make him feel a little more helpless so he tries not to let it bother him, just keeps pressing. He ends up somewhere that he's never seen before, squished between two mountains with a gate in front of him. The tiger shifts on his paws, wings shifting restlessly. It'd been easier last time, when he'd just climbed up the tree, but now he knows, at least a little bit. "Hello?" Perseus calls to the gate, leaning to look for anyone nearby. There's some part of his mind that's ready for it to close on his face, or maybe right after he walks past. The idea of being stuck is scarier now than it's ever been before. He needs a way out now. "Is anyone there?"

Bucky wished he knew that he could've ran away from his trauma far sooner than he did. Back when he initially realized he got brainwashed, and when his memories invaded his skull, he wished he did it then. But instead, he went back running to the place that wiped his head clean. Of course, only one person knew about his brainwashing, and they were long gone when he went running back, but he still wished he made the decision to stay away. He wouldn't have felt as much guilt on his chest months later, when he accepted that what he thought wasn't right. That he could fight the person Ximen shaped him into, that he could have a second chance. Who knows how different his life would've been if he didn't go running back, he might've not even ended up here.

Bucky was silently making his way through the territory, all by himself. The Helion was patrolling the border, when his ears pricked up at Perseus's young voice. "Hello? Is anyone here?" It didn't sound like Perseus was too far away, and the maine coon began to follow the voice, along with their scent.

It didn't take long for Bucky to be lead to the gate, with Perseus waiting at it. Perseus certainly sounded young, and despite him only being the size of a panther cub, he's nearly as big as the maine coon. Bucky wasn't sure how old they are, but they seemed pretty young to be out here by themselves. Even though it's becoming more and more common for younglings to join without parents, it still leaves Bucky wondering why they are alone. Getting a better look at Perseus, the Helion noticed the bruises and scrapes along their fur. Clearly, Perseus got into some sort of scuffle or fight before he wandered to their border, making the male wonder what happened. He should probably grab Venus while thinking about it, the tiger cub probably needs his wounds checked. "I'm here. Can you tell me your business with Sunhaven, along with your name?"

"I'm Bucky Barnes, Helion of Sunhaven. I can grab our Solbinder, Venus, to check those scrapes and bruises you got there."

"don't worry, already here." huffs tinged with the whiff of fatigue escaped the silvery toned vulpine's maw as they waved off buckingham's words, baby blue eyes raking over the frame of the small cub for anything that the solbinder might be able to assist with. in the kitsune's eyes the kid just looked worn down, tired. a good bed and something to eat would do wonders for percy, but for just how long the kid had been wandering with those nicks in his skin gave reason for concern. perhaps a few antibiotics wouldn't go without any harm.

"i'm venus, solbinder is just a fancy looking title for a medic here in sunhaven. where are you from?" venus' voice came to a low whisper, softness creeping into their tone as the kitsune hoped that the little boy wasn't easily spooked - those were the hardest of patients. then on the other hand, for the boy to be expecting someone to be here then it was entirely possible that he came looking for sunhaven, which at his age, was fairly a brave task.

(B)) welcome to sunhaven!!)
