Sah
Sah reluctantly let Tal sit up, the hand on the back of the courier's neck coming down to rest on the man's shoulders. He silently listened as Tal pieced together his story. With each word the courier spoke, the events of that night flashed through the Wild Thunder's imagination. Nearly endless darkness, a horrid knocking at the door. A monster, a woman, a threat. All leading up to blood and inevitable death. He had to work to keep his hold on Tal gentle even as that dark rage rose higher. The monster's face in his imagination was easily replaced with Dahlia's. Sah's jaw clenched as he surfaced from his thoughts and realized that Tal was refusing to meet his gaze. That wouldn't do.
Still gently rubbing Tal's back, the hybrid shook his head. His next words were firm, leaving no room for argument. "It's not your fault, Talyson. You were protecting your family." The hand on Tal's shoulder squeezed, "I wouldn't have done anything differently." In the heat of the moment and an active threat attempting to harm his family? Sah would have reacted in the same manner.

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