He was spiralling toward insanity, toward madness. Normally he had a tinge of madness, a controlled insaniy but this was bordering on screaming, blubbering madness. He had left Phex with Cry and Gwen and ran off, he couldn't stand by her while she sobbed for his failure. He knew she had to grow up some day but he hadn't wanted it to be like this.
Yet...she had broken his trust. He had told her not to go wandering off alone and she had laughed it off. Then as soon as his back was turned she was gone. He had trusted her still, expecting her back quickly and by the time he realised she had ditched it had been too late. He knew she wasn't at fault for what happened but if she had only listened!
If he had only checked sooner.....A shout of anger left his maw as he shook his head, pausing to slam his forehead against a tree.
A low growl followed his head banging though it cut short when Morgan arrived. He first realised the man was there by scent, then by the concerned question asked. He slowly turned and faced the cowboy, the man he considered a friend. "You haven't spoken to cry then. It's Phex. Some Melonii man beat her up when she disobeyed me and ran off" he looked off toward the borders, fur bristling "I took too long to go after her" he admitted. "She needed to learn but not like this" he whispered that part, sounding pained.
Laroche stared blankly over Morgan's head unable to face the man or really anyone at this moment. He listened to his friend rage while his brain formulated all the different ways he would make the offender suffer while respecting Phex's plea to have mercy upon him. It was the moment that Morgan repeated the name of their group that it clicked in his mind. It seemed so long ago when he was trying to find a place to go, he had met Grezig and they had been chased out of their hopeful territory by a band of eerily cold wolves who had laid previous claim to it. He had ended up stumbling across their thug, a giant brute who he had beaten senseless and left unconscious though he had done the proper thing and made sure the fool didn't bleed out.
"They have no control over their members and what they do. I've had problems with them before" he growled as it dawned on him, eyes growing bright with a ferocious light.
"Cry wants us to meet up with him. To discuss this issue, he is going to talk to them" he said. He realised there was something else Morgan needed to know
"Phex is pregnant. She will be staying here, safe with Gwen, Minori and Takara" he sounded pained at this admittance. She was pregnant and he had let her slip away only to be beaten up.
so I'm gonna edit the rape part out and just put she was beaten
He didn't bother mentioning that they had taken a trip together to celebrate they're mateship, he didn't bother mentioning that it was too soon to be really sure if his little ray of sunshine was carrying his children. Instead he just gave a Curt nod to the cowboy and headed in the opposite direction, heading for Phex. Yes, he would assist in taking care of this issue that was the Melonii's but first came making sure Phex was alright. That's what mattered most to him, especially now that he had failed to ensure her safety and well-being once. He wanted to make sure he never made the same mistake, he wanted to feel worthy of being loved by someone so pure again instead of feeling like he had dragged his tainted life into hers and messed her world up.
