Aster was nothing short of grateful when Stahl finally closed the door behind her, leaving just the two alone at last.
The day had taken its toll on the weary young man, and the night had brought little more solace to him. He discovered he was a king to the dead... He was apparently going to have to fight the actual legendary beasts from the story he used to like... He was almost murdered by a bear, and he wasn’t even sure if he was angry at the beast about it... He was angry at his father, though.
Aster wasn’t so naïve to ever believe his father didn’t have the blood of his own people on his hands, but to hear something so cruel firsthand from one such victim? It made him unreasonably angry towards the panther that had raised him as his own.
The same panther he so desperately needed to know was still alright, even despite being the cause of all of the overwhelming heartache and frustration the bear had turned loose upon him.
To put it very lightly, Aster was more confused and angry than he had ever felt in his entire, inexperienced life. Nothing felt right at that moment. Nothing felt real... Nothing, except for his she-wolf.
Stahl softly walked up behind Aster, knowing he was trapped within the storm of chaos that was brewing inside of his mind. Aster was easy for her to read, and what she was reading from him in that moment was unfiltered turmoil.
She gently extended her right hand, carefully brushing against the human’s bicep with the backside of her fingers as she spoke down tenderly to him.
