Devraj was all too familiar with flashbacks, having grown a little more detached over the years towards his, and each time he just pushed down the pain to focus on the things he needed to do. With the birth of his cubs came a duty to be the best parent he could be, and offer support to those who needed it. In a way, it opened up the dragon-kitsune hybrid to being vulnerable again, but with a much better understanding of the balance between such vulnerability and understanding that not everything was his fault. To have empathy, but not destroy himself in the process of helping others.
He had been in deep thought as he approached the big cat, and his eyes turned to focus on Saturn’s face when he saw that tears were rolling down their cheeks. His fatherly instincts kicked in along with his empathetic nature, and he got closer, but was slow to come close as to not spook them.
“Are you okay?” Devraj’s voice was much softer than usual, concern evident in both his tone and his face. He slowly sat down, reaching out a paw as he hopefully had gotten close enough, and tried to gently touch Saturn’s shoulder.
He didn’t know if he should pull them in for a hug or not, but hopefully they accepted his attempt at physical affection.
“Whatever you’re feeling, or perhaps going through, I’m here. And if you need a hug... you can always ask.”
The last part left him feeling a little weird, but he hoped he got the point across and Saturn would accept his offer, or maybe just the paw that had hopefully been able to be planted on their shoulder.
The feeling of being soft was something he was still getting used to- relearning how to be vulnerable and soothe others. From being so angry, to allowing others into his heart once more, despite how hardened yet broken he was.
Heh, God of Destruction trying to comfort someone? It was ironic, really, but he had been told he was decent with providing support and a shoulder to lean on should someone need it.
