// day breaks sorrow //
Nodding, the butcher’s main focus is ensuring that Danta isn’t immediately going to panic. Already he can feel the increase of his lover’s thundering heart, the softness of the answer for the warning Asta gives. And when they come to a stop, his touch is gentle and it is delicate, as if ensuring that each and every touch he gives him is the complete and utter opposite of what the version of him before had to offer. “I understand, darling.” He does understand that it would possibly make him panic.
It isn’t unlike when Danta would become a gore crow. It isn’t unlike when he’d stumbled into this very room before they had admitted anything to each other and he’d spotted Moira completely unannounced and had his crisis after. The way even the sight of them were a cause for a muzzle to be worn if only to try and protect the Maverick and even that hadn’t worked completely.
“I promise you, love, that I will never use it on you again.” His voice is softer, gentler, while the hand that had been clasped in his lover’s loosens to brush against Danta’s cheek and I his hair. He doesn’t force him to look up at him, but it’s with that same tender care that Asta tries to prove via body language that he would not harm him, no matter what. “Those in the Dusklight have already seen a fraction of it. Do not be surprised if there is talk.”
