Blackfeather Woods life is nothing without the pain

Looking both to Potema and Cicero Damien took a couple steps back. He had been taken by surprise, and things had been exposed to Potema. Damien could see it in her eyes, she was suspicious, and Damien simply did not know how to react to that. So with a stare charged with trouble, Damien turned and walked away from his Siblings. "Just bring him back," he ordered Potema, though, with guilt and embarrassment mixed up in his voice. Then he disappeared in the shadows, still worried, still fearful, but unable to withstand his brother's behavior, unable to come up with a way to justify his brother's approach to him to Potema. He could not allow the world to see a weakness in him embodied in Cicero.

It was easier avoiding the feelings.
