Noctisardor Bypass He'd never upset you, never forget you

The guilt was crushing and so was the regret. But he didn't know what to do. He couldn't take it back. So he had to weather the high tide.

Etienne was not ridding himself of anyone, but himself. His own feelings and injustices. The feeling of inadequacy and pain. The grief and the heartbreak. And it was so unfair. He shouldn't have done it. And he knew Anselm would strike back and he'd strike true.

Etienne blinked and growled. A foreign sound from the gentle man.

Because you don't like it. You 'ate it w'en I ask. You get angry. So I don't ask. Instead i wait for you to tell me.

Etienne reeled further. If I didn't care about you I wouldn't be 'ere. Dat is not wut an adult is!


Etienne’s tail lashed and he stomped. I stay because I care! Because you asked me not to leave and i care about you enuff to keep my promise!! I stay because despite 'ow I feel i wouldn't leave anyone to fend for deyselves!
