Sah
Sah relaxed marginally, "Then, what's wrong?" He didn't have to wait long for Tal to tell him. The Wild Thunder's eyes widened, all barriers down as he quietly asked for confirmation, "You're leaving too?" He couldn't stop his face from twisting into something like grief.
Taking a shaky breath he reached over and gently took Tal's hand to stop the shaking, focusing on his concern for the man and not his emotions. Swallowing he nodded, "Ok. You're right that I can't leave. But I'll visit. Every Deepfrost or more often." He'd known that things had been tense in Halo for a while now for the courier. His leaving with Ru shouldn't have been a shock, but it was.
Sah had chosen to side with the old gods for the people he loved. Actively fought in the war to protect them and Halo. He stayed for them. Fought for them. Yet so many of them kept leaving. Leaving him. They were enough to make him stay. So why wasn't he enough? Was there something wrong with him? Something he wasn't giving them that they needed?
He did his best to hide these thoughts from the man in front of him but he was sure some fragments of his emotions were on his face. Lilly whined softly and burrowed further into Tal's side. Hugging him because both she and her bonded wished to.

I think therefore I am,
But what if all I do is bleed?
