For half an instant, he wondered if she’d come over to hit him. There’d already been enough armaments slung their way, and in the level of exhaustion and consternation, the primordial dread began to take over – his eyes narrowing until her arms reached around his chest. For a moment more, he blinked slowly, before releasing a breath, dropping the sled’s string, and taking hold of her too, dropping his jaw on top of her head as a sign of sibling irritation and a moment of respite.
She was all right, and that was all that mattered for these miniscule snippets of time.
His gaze flickered to her as she moved away, at the murmur, at everything else left unsaid. When nothing else was stated, save for explaining the chaos and disarray, his jaw clenched and he glanced off into the distance, fighting back another onslaught that threatened an arsenal of his sanctities. The exhaustion tumbled its wake through his soul, and he fought it, because he was certain that was the reason for all these tempestuous edges. So he nodded, acting on muscle memory and fumes, for the cause and plight of many. “Sure.” Placing the sled off to the side and out of the way, he began moving for the debris, ignoring Zuriel’s eyes on his back – but then the unicorn shifted them directly upon Ru.
