Shadewood Here in the ashes

Her silence was far too long and he immediately felt regret. She would've been better not seeing him so weak. Already the walk was tiring him out and the thought of food was so nauseating that he almost fetched but he wouldn't make her any sadder so instead he formed a sly smile "You're a snack" he said and teasingly attacked her neck with kisses and nibbles. It only lasted a few moments before his breathing was heavy and wheezy and he had to pull back and slow his step for a moment, then altogether lower his rear to the ground and breath slowly as he felt whoozy. He hadn't been able to eat much as of late and he had altogether stopped trying. The lack of food had weakened him quickly matched with the sickness and he felt disgusted with himself. "I'm sorry. Just give me a moment" he said and desperately tried to sit up only to blackout for a second and slump down. He was ashamed of himself and looked away, refusing to see the expressions of his children when they looked at him. Valour just went still and looked up questioningly at his mother and then back at his dad.
