As Princess questioned who Si was Haven winced. That was not the way he had wanted her to find out about his past relationship. The relationship that had recently shattered and he was still reeling from. Gods he felt like such slime. Though that feeling of disgust was quickly overwhelmed by what happened next. He saw the look of hurt on Mati's face as Ares unthoughtful words were spoken, and he was surprised. The first thing he would have expected to see was anger. Hurt spoke of something different though. Was there something between them? This made a bit of that brotherly protection that the gray male was exhibiting rise in his own chest. That was squashed though when word filled with anger came from her directed at him. Immediately his ears plastered against his head and his tail tucked. Did she not believe him? Did she really think him capable of doing such a monstrous thing? No...no he couldn't live with that. But all he saw now was her back as she walked away. Haven didn't know if he'd ever felt so low.
The hybrid stood there numbly as Ares moved to speak words with his sister, words that Haven didn't even hear for as close as he was standing to them. He wanted to go after her and yet he didn't think she wanted him to and he didn't think he could face her if she despised him. Maybe she did and maybe she had a right to, but that didn't mean that it didn't tear him apart inside. He didn't know what he would do if she thought of him like that, if she never wanted to see him again. He didn't think he could live with that, he really didn't. Of all the awful things he had felt, nothing would compare to that. The male clenched his jaw, wishing he could just disappear. At least then he wouldn't bring any more pain to his loved ones.
Ares left and he turned to Princess, trying to hide how much this all had effected him but not really accomplishing the task. He didn't really feel like talking anymore, but he wouldn't make her wait any longer than he already had. He would talk to her and then she would probably hate him as well and then he would leave. Go away so they would not be bothered with his presence. "These are for you," he said, holding out the roses. "Did you want to go somewhere to talk, or did you just want to stay here?" Haven's voice held a hollowness. He hoped that she would say they could go elsewhere, nothing good had happened here.
