Everything slowly washed away, it retreated from the forefront of his mind to the back as she broke down onto his shoulder. The raw emotional admittance captured his attention and settled the raging ocean, that drowned him, down to a tranquil lake. He could see, and hear, the pain in her voice as she spoke, it commanded the scene with gripping vehemence. As sobering as it was, it still left Rye with doubts there was any way he could fix or at minimum help things but it wasn't like him to let those in need fall by the wayside. His head dipped down over her shoulder and pulled her closer to him (if allowed) and remained there, his body trying to further shield her from the downpour. His embrace was partially selfish, he needed the hug just as much or possibly more than she did but that didn't stop him from letting both benefit from the vulnerability. Rye did not know what pestered her but he held every intention on being there, letting himself be her shoulder for as long as she needed. He refused to let himself make the same mistake again and with that thought he selfishly hugged harder, small tears pricking the edges of his eyes as the awfully familiar scene played behind shut eyes. Thank goodness the tears were camouflaged in the rain.
"It will be alright." He gingerly said after a few moments passed, a hidden promise in his words that he would not leave until she was okay. The males head lifted to view the female resting on his shoulder, gentle eyes searching for her ambers. "Let us move to cover and get you warm. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Rye reassured, referencing her heat. The corners of his mouth lifting into a gentle smile as he parted from her. He knew he could keep his composure much easier after everything. He decided to let her lead where she wanted. His warm den was not far and if she inquired he would tell her how to get there. It would provide her a safe space to warm herself and perhaps sleep if she could. Rye could always find things to occupy his time while she rested.
"If you lose yourself, your courage soon will follow.
So be strong tonight.
Remember who you are."
