Oh, empty my heart
To stay where she was and not run over to the fighting males was possibly the hardest thing Seren had ever done. Umbra was bleeding, and her hands ached with the need to heal him. Sah was still tense, still hovering over her companion, and she wanted to soothe him too. Only the small, vulnerable pup in her arms kept Seren from interrupting, and the frantic, anxious tongue lapping her cheeks mirrored every sentiment within her.
Slitted pupils stared daggers at Sah. There was tension within the dragon still, uproar raging within a chest like thunder. He did not want to yield. Only Seren's pain and despair echoing between their joined minds kept him listening at all.
Please.
Navy nostrils flared, smoke trailing in hot, dark clouds as though a volcano lay at the heart if this creature.
Please. He is my friend, too.
Something in the bond-stealer's words caught the dragon's attention then. Never again, unless...?
Umbra blinked slowly. Scaled eyelids slid shut, then opened again. Weighing the young man that pinned him to the ground.
A question passed through the bond, from dragon to girl. Seren looked up, relieved even at this brief contact - it was the first real communication they had done for a while.
"He wants to know..." she began weakly, hesitating as she tried to interpret the dragon's thoughts in a way that made sense. "He asks if... you are a protector, too? No, sorry. If you too will protect... er, me." She managed to blush even now, embarrassed to have to say something so... But it seemed to be very important to Umbra, so Seren pushed the words out anyway, in a voice that barely carried.

I've got to make room for this feeling
