BREAK THE DOOR DOWN ★ open; collapse

“Sojourn is right. Resting isn’t a bad idea. I’m just glad you’re okay.” He felt a kind of protectiveness over Angel since he first met the cub, and he seemed to have gotten along well with his own children Katsuki and Astraea. In addition, the poor kid didn’t seem to have any parental figures involved much in his life, and if nothing else, Devraj wanted to do what he could to help the cub. Being left to Aphra was a recipe for disaster.

“I’m sure Astraea and Katsuki would appreciate your company, if you wanted to rest up with friends.” Perhaps an odd statement, but he couldn’t quite form the words necessary to express what he was trying to say. But maybe he had said what he needed to? Either way, he was glad Angel was safe, and grateful for Sojourn and Byriath’s presence to keep him calm around Aphra. That woman did not deserve the title of ‘mother.’

“Do you need help walking? I could carry you if you need it.” Devraj’s tone was softer than usual, but fatherly. He just wanted the kid to be safe.
