With the crowd raising their voices, Valerian didn’t feel too keen on walking over to see what the whole fuss was about. He felt something deep inside of himself telling him not to- that he will be hurt immensely by their anger and emotions. But he felt pulled to them, his own feelings beginning to have a war of their own as he slowly walked up to them, silent as a predator stalking its prey. He did not notice this, due to being in a suddenly trance-like state, but it helped him drown out how he was truly feeling for the moment.
His one and only source of comfort and security was being torn apart verbally, emotionally, and he could feel the tension of the crowd as he practically glided his way over to Rin, ignoring anything and everything else. His eyes were ever so slightly glowing, and the smoke he had previously at his joining reappeared, at his paws as usual, but toned down enough it was barely there.
“Rin...” He murmured, looking directly into her eyes, a quiet moment passing before he began to speak again. “I’m here for you, I don’t know what happened... but you potentially saved my life. I’m going to return the favor.”
He then turned to the crowd, almost ignoring the bird behind Rin entirely, but gave an ever so slight nod to it before this, and spoke.
“You all may be angry with her, but please don’t let this escalate into violence. If you really want to, then take it out on me. I can take it. So throw your anger and rage on me, not Rin. I won’t let you touch her either way. I know you’re angry, hurt, sad, and so many other things, but for the love of everything, please don’t let it bite you back.”
He probably shouldn’t have said anything. He really shouldn’t have, and the realization hit him as he took up a defensive position next to Rin, appearing much more calm and ready than he truly felt. He felt backed into a corner, but at the same time coiled to strike. His words, he didn’t know if they even made sense, but he was trying his best to defend what he cared for, desperately.
