Sunbeam Lair No hope, no love, no glory

He had things to explain, apologies to utter, yet his mouth was occupied with the bark now. He chewed slowly, as to stretch time as far as possible to let him think. He had behaved poorly, he knew, but he found his reasoning to be quite a good one. Even more so now Asterr was pregnant, but he had not noticed that just yet. He had assumed the male she had brought with her was the "lucky" man, but he didn't feel jealous. He only felt bad for not having been able to protect her- to keep her untouched and happy. But even with his good intentions, he had done something traumatizing. He supposed he could have used words instead on forcing himself on her, but the scent of a female in heat and Vector in his head was not the best combination. 

He wondered how long he had to chew upon the bark, it feeling kind of weird and mushy in his mouth now, bits and pieces stuck between his teeth. He only let out a small Mhm... In response to her command, avoiding eye contact. The tone in which she spoke was enough to know it would take a long time-perhaps forever, before he would earn her trust back. Oh well, he supposed there were worse things; like a broken li- OH WAIT.

He sighed. Thanks... He spoke softly, a bit of chewed bark flying out of his mouth, but he cared little about table manners right now.
