The sobbing was accidental of course, about instinctual as the response he gave Keona when she was testing her howling skills. Reeling it back in was normally a pain, a chore in itself, but for one reason or another, the blessing and curse of Roan’s appearance was able to flick the necessary switch to shut everything off. Sort of, everything that was internal stayed where it was, he just wasn’t making any new tears to add to the collection drying on his face. He rubbed his face aggressively at the Soothsayer’s words, trying to at least look like he wasn’t crying like a frightened child, despite the damage being done. All he managed to do of course was further mess up the fur around his face.

”I kept thinking something got her. Or she, uh, yknow....d...drowned.” Danny mumbled, shuddering at the final word, wondering if the secondary emotion beneath the panic was embarrassment. Constantly on the verge of emotional outbursts like that wasn’t very fun, see. He frowned, lip quivering still but refused to cry any more than he already had. The concern about being reprimanded was too great. On the other hand, Keona’s words offered necessary comfort, easing the worry somewhat. ”I’m sorry, I’m fine, I’m okay now.” Not entirely, but he wasn’t going to admit to being overly panicked after he had already displayed his inner fears. Besides, vocalizing that again in greater detail only served to cause more crying.
