Neverwinter Forest I’m here on monkey business

@Caerus assuming he's sleeping rn. lmk if you want me to change anything!

Cupid hasn't been feeling all too great for awhile now. Caerus' great escape had made him more anxious than he'd ever been. Once again thoughts of doubt and worry clouded his mind. A good parent would never let their kid run off like that, no matter how slippery they may be. A good parent would've stopped their son before any harm could come of him. He could've died, he thought, chest clenching as that hit him. His eyes shifted towards the sleeping whelp. If Cupid had been just a few seconds late he probably wouldn't be here now. It's a horrific thought, one that brings tears to his eyes.

Hushed sobs are cut midway when footsteps draw closer. He inhaled sharply and shook his head. No one needed to see him like this. Just brush it off Cupid, brush it off. Take a deep breath, get up, and get out.

Cupid emerged from the den slowly. The sun was.. brighter than usual. How long had he stayed in the den? He had to blink before he could see things clearly.

Hey Mal, he said all nonchalantly, as if he wasn't just crying a few seconds ago. What do you need?
