Fayne uncurled at last to his relief. He'd been so worried about her. Dealing with such things was not his strong point. It had always been Akira that had soothed and made sure that everything was okay. Tharin had simply hunted and fought. Even at the end Akira was the source of comfort, telling Tharin that it wasn't his fault, even as she slipped away piece by piece. To have something he said actually work and not make things worse was a relief. He found himself facing a wet face with eyes full, looking rather puzzled. Now what?
Her head pressed into his chest, the water continuing to flow. Tharin licked at her head reassuringly, not too sure what else he could do for her. The water didn't seem likely to stop, flowing down and gradually soaking his fur. He could actually feel dampness from it. He nodded his head at the thanks, doing his best to look like he had a clue what to do next. Tharin felt absolutely wretched that he hadn't been there, hadn't been able to stop it from happening. He nodded his head at the last few words. Finally, something he understood. Fear makes one act differently than one might hope. You can learn to combat it though, and fight even when you're afraid.
