Shadewood kicking rocks and breaking teeth

the fight didn’t last long, thankfully. deku still remained frozen in place after orochi had finished causing harm to the other pup. his shimmering silver gaze was filled to the brim with tears that he refused to release. the yelp that had been issued by valour was enough to cause the young starchaser to jump, startled by the sound and the pitch of it. he wanted them to stop. he wanted his brother to be nice. all of these things that he wished he could make happen, but deku was too afraid. the wrath that existed in orochi’s gaze was enough to halt him.
 
when the angry young boy turned away from them with a remark that stung deku, it seemed that the fight had died away. valour said something about deku not being stupid, but the young boy wasn’t sure if this was correct. after all, why would orochi tell him something if it wasn’t true? before he could ask, they both had disappeared from sight. the starchaser was left to think about his own weakness and inability.
