FIRE AND BRIMSTONE FELL UPON MY EARS ⚘ return home

[aesior]

EVERY GRIN WE SHARE IS LIKE.
"speech." . 'thoughts' . attack

the sound of feathers caused the tom's nerves to run alight, head tipping back to the forest canopy, fur bristling as his tired eyes tracked eon until he landed on a branch of the tree beside them, the sight of the fox bringing up too-raw memories. issuing a silent snarl in eon's direction, tail raised and back arching as memories sang through his blood of the one who had hurt him and his children in the past. panting and huffing as he tried to draw himself up as aggressively as he could, tail shaking and bushed out as he stared at him through his mask. good gods, what was this creature? muscles twitching and causing him to jump as eon spoke, a soft hiss that couldn't be heard leaving him as he slapped his paw on the ground, claws unsheathed, backing up. the words reached him but the fact that the creature who spoke them was a canid, shook him down to his core.

all too soon, did ares arrive, swiveling his head towards her as she spoke, as if he hadn't been gone all that long. breath shaking in his lungs, looking between her and eon, a startled breath leaving him as vintara hopped across the marsh to rub his head against his leg. using his broken foreleg, he tried to shuffle his adopted sun under him, to protect him from the threat he alone perceived in a groupmate he'd yet to meet, eon. his heart dropped into his stomach as ares spoke of sethiram, his other son. he forgot how to breathe, startled. he hadn't come home? was he .. was he still out there looking for him? flattening his ears, looking around, scrambling to find his notebook in his satchel, "seth not home? rescued pup. who fox?", he questioned, shivering as he turned his gaze back on eon, not trusting him, because of his own mental state and the past with others.

A PRAYER COMMITED TO THE SONG WE SING.
