There was once a time where Byriath thought he was incapable of being shocked by the emotions of mortals. As soon as Saturn practically headbutted him in the chest, the Xeno let out a soft huff in shock. His eyes went wide and he froze. Something slammed against his ribcage, a feeling so volatile in reaction he wanted to scream. But he just breathed, lowering his head a bit so his chin brushed against Saturn's head. He looked at Devraj with a grateful look before he smiled. A full, but broken, smile.
Saturn had been hurt before, that was certain. And a rage bubbled within him. Who dared hurt Saturn? Who hurt him so badly? His muzzle rested on Saturn's head, fuming a little now. He wanted to pull Saturn closer, but he also didn't want him to get uncomfortable. The god was more than willing to, along with Devraj, be a sort of corner stone right now.
