The voice from the bedroom answered his question and released the tension from his chest before it had time to build at his beloved's absence. He grinned to himself and straightened, glancing down at his flowers to make sure they were ready for delivery--
"Ouch! What the fu--?!" He gasped as something sharp pierced the skin of his arm, unprotected by his Vest. He jerked away, slapping at his skin as if to brush away a bug and then staggered as the purple haze washed from his vision. An odd noise escaped Boreal, somewhere between a strangled rumble and a whine as she scrambled back to his side while he sank to the floor. He looked--
Dazed. Confused. And then horror dawned across his expressive face, blooming as understanding rushed in to fill the now-empty spaces where the Void had pulsed beneath and between his thoughts. "Fuck... fuck. Alys? Alys are you... I didn't know... are you okay?" Lost, confused, torn between laughing and retching and tucked firmly into a growing hysteria he looked around for his partner as he hugged his dragon. Boreal pressed tightly against him, rumbling the same way she used to when Sascha was tiny and needed reassurance as he held on to her like she was a lifeline to his sanity.
