Diable Rouge
>He lets Warrick's reply linger in the air for a moment. From the corner of his eye, he can see the winged man stare at him, but Diable Rouge cannot bring himself to look back. His emotions are too raw right now; they are ever-changing like the tide before them, and silently he wonders if the pain will ever subside. Maybe his heart was made to be broken.
No, He tells himself. That can't be...I wouldn't have found Aurora otherwise. He looks up to the sky, letting a puff of air exhale from his lungs. In the stars, he hopes Kaiode is running free with his own mother. He hopes they are happy, he hopes he's making them proud.
"I could never forget him," He speaks finally, two-toned hues reluctantly peeling away from the black night and towards the sea. "I think of him every day, Warrick. I just wish it wasn't as painful as it was the moment it happened." The burning, aching feeling in his chest never seemed to retreat, no matter what he did to comfort himself. His heart continued to lay shattered in his chest, and he wondered if it would ever dim, even just the slightest bit.
"...have you seen Solace lately?" The question pulls him out of his trance, and again that feeling of regret creeps up his spine. He closes his eyes now - why hadn't he done more? Why hadn't he said something to her?
"Despite the occasional Sylvan trespasser, Tephra has been well. I guard it with my life," His reply is quick, professional. It's almost as if has completely diverged from the heart-felt response he had given a moment earlier. "As for Solace..." His voice trails mid-sentence, a lump forming in his throat. "I...I haven't seen her." He finally meets his companion's gaze. "I'm sorry, Warrick."
in the eye of a hurricane, there is quiet.
