Hide shuddered in relief when Orochi assured him that he knew he hadn't left on purpose. He'd never, ever hurt him intentionally like that, and would aim to not even do it accidentally in the future. A head dropped down to his chest and Hide brushed his muzzle across Orochi's ears, rolling to the side so it'd be easier for the two of them to hold each other. 

"Uh, I don't... I think it was lightning?" Hide swallowed hard, his throat feeling dry at the memory. "It was just, really loud. Loud enough to make my ear bleed. And I didn't... I couldn't remember where I was, and I ran the wrong way, and I couldn't find my way back." His throat tightened to a point where it was impossible to speak, so he had to stop to breathe for a few moments before he could continue. "I got in a fight, after..." He didn't know how much of that he should share right now. It was too messy.
