She never cried infront of me

He kept his amusement to himself as Zana gave him the glare of death at his chosen words. He couldn’t help teasing her, she had ignored the smitten warrior’s gestures for so long and now that their fight had been resolved he had almost expected them to just become friends once more. The fact that Zana had in some ways embraced the budding romance had caused him to worry slightly. He had wished there was some way he could keep either her or Aisleran from the battle but he knew they would know what was amiss if he tried. Instead he was just left to worry about them all, hoping that they came out of it in the end.

He couldn’t help but smile softly as she commented on his remark, a slight chuckle rising from his throat as he just nodded. He was actually glad to know that there was nothing to learn between the two warriors, or at least he hadn’t learned anything yet. Instead of goad her further he just stood there silently for a moment wondering just where they would find each other after the wave of bloodshed had passed. He truly hoped that all would bode well in the end, he didn’t want to be the one to return to Inferni to tell Gabriel what had befallen the young woman he had convinced to accompany him on his adventures.

When he finally admitted the reason he’d searched her out Zana didn’t take it well, he hadn’t thought that she would and he couldn’t help but smile sadly down at her as he tried to explain. ”For Ryan..” The letters had been for Ryan, to let her know how he felt, what had befallen them all after they had left the territories that they had lived in for so long and the very last had been to tell her that if she was getting the letters that he wouldn’t be coming back. His eyes brimmed with tears as he whispered. ”Just take them to Ryan if I don’t make it out of this..” He didn’t want to go any further but he knew that the masses below were depending on him in the morn.

He stood up then, eyeing his sister a moment before he began to fade into the darkness beyond, turning one last time to leave word to Zana. ”Take what love you can get, when you get it Zana.. you may never know when it may disappear.” The only sound afterwards was the shuffle of his paws as he moved through the grass and beyond even her sight upon the rise.
