"I can't promise I won't get hurt again. If it means keeping you safe, I won't mind it." He knew that still wasn't fair. If injured or poisoned again, that left Cazan worrying about his recovery or worse; perhaps mourning his death. His declaration was selfish and meant to guard his own heart and he held up a hand to stall any rebuttals. "Wait, I know," he added as he scooped up Sir to move him to his lap, ignoring the hissing protest before the silly creature settled down again. With Sir out of the way, he urged Cazan to snuggle in a bit closer. They were both in need of the clinginess and comfort.
"I promise I'll do my best to keep us both from harm. Starting with the doors. We don't need those, right?" He smiled as he teased about blocking the doors to the halls but T'ryn was still seriously considering it. They both had dragons--though Cazan was struggling to simply walk some days so a dragon ride was likely out of the question--and most of their friends either had dragons or could visit in that manner as well. It really did seem like the most logical way to keep an intruder out.
However, what if it wasn't a human entering? He glanced down at Sir and then to Lady. A muffin and a flower were light enough for a firelizard to carry and drop off somewhere. Son of a bitch! "And we definitely only eat and touch things one of us verifies they brought in or made, deal?"
Flowers...
T'ryn couldn't help but stare at where Parella had fallen. The Healers took her and the flower but he could still see her lying there and he couldn't help. A hand started shaking and he clenched his fist. Whether that was from a side effect of the toxin or his emotions dipping from crying to anger and back again was hard to say. He burrowed his face against Cazan's hair and let tears silently fall again. He didn't want to see K'dar or any of their siblings and friends. Everyone would be mourning for Parella while trying to comfort him and T'ryn didn't want to deal with any of that. Not yet.
"I don't... I don't want to see K'dar or any of them, Zanny. Not yet. Is that bad? Selfish?"
