I have never feared the storm
Sah let out a small sigh, shaking his head slightly. "Only towards those that I care for. I've been told I'm merciless towards others." Truly, somehow the demigod had warmed her way in instantly. If this had been a stranger's companion, Sah would have been out for blood. Both that of the companion, and their bonded.
Seren's words brought genuine confusion to the Abandoned. "Grateful? What for?" He genuinely didn't understand. What about him stabbing her dragon had helped her? But as Seren cupped his face, his confusion was replaced with calm. Sah found himself leaning into the touch, closing his eyes for a moment, only to open them at her question. How could she make it up to him? This certainly was too big of a deal to simply brush off. Sah had to think for a moment before an idea came to him.
"Two things. First, an IOU. A single favor that I can cash in at any time, no questions asked." That was decent enough as he really wasn't sure what to ask for on the spot. But more importantly, the second thing. Sah glanced at Umbra, and then at Seren. "You need to work with Umbra. You two are bonded, and although you are individuals, you need to be more in sync." Sah's brow furrowed. "Umbra may be small, but he is a dragon and he could do serious damage to someone. You both need to trust each other more. Right now, you're treating him as if he's just a friend you have. Not the part of you that he is." Sah explained softly in a non-berating tone.
