[glow=#000,1,400]BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND YOU, AND I WILL NOT BE PART OF YOUR DESIGNS — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]
Worm felt a sort of dizziness seize him as Judith continued talking, and his heart dropped into his stomach when she mentioned the past events with Poet. He lowered his head down for a brief moment submissively, tears crowding his usually calm blue eyes. It took him several seconds, but eventually he rose his head again, his eyes trailing over all of the other group members there who were, in their own ways, defending him and Poet. Sam, Ubbe, Vathmos, Delilah, Moth... all of them cared enough to give their two cents on the matter, even beyond just because Judith could be a threat to the group. It honestly felt... amazing. It felt amazing to finally had others who, even if they were only just beginning to, actually cared about him, unlike Judith had done ever since Worm was barely old enough to walk.
Gritting his fangs, Worm curled his claws into the soft dirt below him before snapping angrily, his lips peeling back at his mother, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"NO! I won't take you to him. Because he doesn't deserve your nonsense any more than I do! If all you're gonna do while you're here is shout and threaten me, and accuse the fine members of Tanglewood of kidnapping Poetking, then you can just leave! Poet left of his own free will, because he didn't want to be in the pride anymore, and I don't blame him! What I might've done in the past was awful, but at least I regret it and I actually apologized! Where is my apology for the years of you telling me that I was lesser than him? Where's any of the love I should've gotten from my own fucking Mother?"[/glow]
He was trembling by the end of his rant, and his legs felt like they were going to give out any moment, so he stepped back into security behind Vathmos and Samantha and everyone else. He growled weakly as he slowly sank down to the ground, feeling absolutely sick, and so, so suddenly tired, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"I won't make you leave, because I don't have the power here to do that, but I'm not bringing you to Poetking. And I'm not letting you keep shrieking and insisting that my new friends are kidnappers. If he wants to see you, he can come himself."[/glow]
