[se] there are brighter flames

Sah

Sah let out a heavy sigh, opening his mouth to attempt to explain his thoughts. He never got the chance however as Lilly reached over and sharply nipped his wrist. Her message was clear. Her bonded was being an idiot and she was done tolerating it. The wolf refused to allow him to dig an even deeper hole then he'd already made.

Sah eyed the wolf incredulously for a second, raising a brow at the onslaught of annoyance and exasperated fondness that seemed through their bond. Feeling both amused and irritated, Sah returned his attention to Deimos, "Seems I've been scrambling for some kind of solution when there isn't one yet." Being stuck in a circle of planning an inaction was wearing down his patience but Deimos was right. They needed something solid and not based on assumption.

Sah felt a sharp sting in his chest at Deimos' gaze and words, guilt piercing him deeply. "I know, I'm sorry." The two men had been one of the biggest sources of stability for the Outlander since coming to Caido, mentors and friends who had stepped up to help. They deserved better from him. He'd relied on them on numerous occasions and Sah needed to be someone that they could trust and rely on as well.
