He could not endure the pain for her, and therefore no such foolish act was played out in her presence. She had been terribly careless, or something must have happened. But he could not decide the weapons that had drawn the fine lines of weeping red on her body, and was left not knowing what had delivered her here to these borders where danger lurked for those who had not shared their blood and become one with the unique society that lived and breathed here beneath firm rock. He crouched over her, vivid hues fleeing from blush and silver to search for threats in the shadows. If the fairytale creature in his arms wasn’t safe, then neither was he.
She spoke and leaned in the opposite direction of away. The pulse in his veins softly steadied, and he pulled the fragile thing closer to his warmth. There was nothing he could do for her other than to seek aid from those who knew how to quieten the hurt in her body. When she spoke again, he knew what he wanted, and the thought was very strange to behold. Carefully, he readjusted his hold on her before rising to his proper height. It surprised the male how light she was in his arms. It was not right, but appearance alone suggested that the girl was frail. Why had she chosen the ground before the sky?
He turned his back to the northern borders and followed the same trail he had come from. Perhaps he was only to bring her more suffering and pain. The sun could not reach through solid rock and down into the inhabited caves. He stopped outside the black mouth into the mountain, finding it difficult to interpret what he wanted. Her opinion mattered. Eyes washed over the frail creature in his hands. There were words he wanted to speak, but silence continued to loom instead as he entered darkness scarcely lit by living flames.
