[glow=#000,1,400]BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND YOU, AND I WILL NOT BE PART OF YOUR DESIGNS — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]
A frown came to Wormwood's muzzle at Beck's weak and almost childish words. He didn't actually see Beck as that much of a child aside from occasional moments of mischief, but seeing him like this made Worm's heart ache a bit. Once Red took the stick from Beck's grip, the lion moved a bit closer to the emotional male. He mumbled softly once he sat a bit away, firmly shaking his head from side to side at Beck's stupid demand, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"We're not going to just leave you alone right now, Beck. We're your groupmates, and you're obviously hurting, so we want to help you."[/glow] He kept his voice steady as he said this, thinking back to all of the times where, when he had been a cub, he had desperately wanted somebody to actually listen to him and help him out, instead of just ignoring his plights and rolling over him in favor of others. Beck deserved the same care and concern that Worm had been denied for so much of his life, at least he thought so.
He continued on as he eyed the ripped apart and gruesome effigy of their leader, a sense of dread settling over him at seeing even just a look alike of the male being so gruesomely beaten, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"Was Red right...? Is this about Arrow? I can understand you're grieving, but.... beating up a sewn together clone of our leader seems like an odd way to grieve. Did Crow do something...?"[/glow] Wormwood, like many others, had no idea about Beck being effectively locked up within his house when Arrow's death had happened, so he didn't get why targeting Crow of all people would make Beck feel better. Although, honestly it didn't seem to be making Beck feel better much at all, since it seemed like he was still on the verge of crying his eyes out. Despite the fact that Worm knew deep down that Beck wasn't technically a child, he hated to see a child on the verge of tears, so he had to at least try comforting him.
