Blacktail Deer Plateau We're gonna build a wall

Minori appeared flustered when he said that but admitted to feeling the same. That warm feeling in his chest returned upon hearing that she also missed him. She mentioned another man, Issun. It's good you had someone to be there for you, He said. While I wasn't, He added bitterly in the recesses of his mind. Corvus was overcome with unrivaled amounts of guilt. It gnawed at his bones and rattled his brain, not allowing him peace. He'd felt this before... once when his mother was killed, and again when his brother met the same fate. If only he'd made different choices in those moments, perhaps they'd still be alive. If only, if only, if only... but hindsight was 20/20, and Corvus could not go back in time. He tried his best, and that was all he could ever do. It didn't make him any less frustrated.

Issun? He asked, finding that jealousy was beginning to prick at him. Still, he managed to keep it out of his tone. She said he was a friend when she recruited him. How long had they known each other? Why did he care? At this point, Corvus had to admit he was quite attached to Minori; there was no denying that now. While glad that this 'Issun' had a positive effect on her, the jealousy persisted. He was starting to experience so many new emotions and sensations because of Minori, and he wasn't sure what that meant. The nosferatu was incapable of understanding the full extent of what he felt.

Corvus finally came out of his own thoughts at Minori's lack of a response, and he noticed her panicked expression. What's wrong? He asked, unable to pinpoint what caused such a reaction out of her.
