Snippet #2613341

Shadow growled and nipped him so Tyr knew that it was a stupid idea to apologize. She sat with her back turned to him, as if saying that he needed to stop blaming himself for things that obviously weren't his fault. As Shadow turned to glare at him, it became evident that Soel hated it when people apologized for pointless reasons. Then Shadow snarled and chased Rowan out of the room, scolding him harshly as well. Shadow then scampered back to check on Snowy.


Snowy giggled. "D-Do you really think he, of all people, w-would accept help...? M-More like run from it... H-He doesn't w-want cheered up... H-He doesn't w-want to forget... B-Because his blackened past m-made him w-who he is..." Snow paused and thought about it while stroking Gypsy's fur. "H-He doesn't w-want to be reminded either, of course..." Snowy smiled at Shadow. "H-Hi Shadow...! I-I take it you scolded Tyr properly...? B-Big brother hates it w-when people assume it's their fault..." Snow noticed that Shadow was growling at Rowan. "O-Oh, I see..." Snowy gave Rowan a stern look, but it ended up looking more adorable. "B-Big brother also doesn't like it w-when people step out of line... I-It w-wasn't your place to scold Tyr, nor should you have... F-For Tyr did nothing w-wrong..."


Soel stayed in his den. Shaking. Remembering. Fearing. He curled up on the padded floor and held his head, trying to get the memories to disappear. He refused to run from his past, but he didn't want to remember it either. Axis and Axel growled menacingly at anyone who tried to enter the cavern, and blocked all sources of entry. Jasper curled up next to Soel to comfort him.
