yet my blood renders me a King
A weight lifted off of Sah's chest at her words. She believed him. Thank the gods. The relief was the final straw and the Abandoned started to cry in earnest. Had he ever honestly cried in front of another person since coming to Caido? Aino and Ilma were probably the only ones until now. Others had seen a few tears, yes. But not this. He trembled in Ru's arms, thankful that they were far enough away from the crowd and that no one else was witnessing him falling apart.
It took some time to calm down, but when he did, he pulled back with a shaky breath, trying to get himself back in control. "I don't...I don't think I can ever use my lightning against an ally ever again. At least... not for the foreseeable future." It was too risky.
A few more words of comfort, a grateful 'thank you' and promises to stay in touch, the Wild Thunder reluctantly left. He didn't want to stay in Torchline any longer and Hotaru needed to get back to her immediate family. As they parted, the Abandoned sent one last grateful look over his shoulder as the Demi-goddess left his line of sight. If she had abandoned him and torn him from her family, it probably would have broken him.
