Hector's face wrinkled, for an instant. He didn't think it was a good idea-it was too soon to last nights scare. He was surprised by this flare of protectiveness, and he didn't want to tell her she shouldn't. He was just a random dude. It would be presumptive to tell her not to-right?
Horius muttered “Xylo shot my shoulder up and gave me a few punches. Nothing too bad. I almost killed the two.”
Persepolis saw Hector's expression. She stopped cutting the tubers, setting down her machete and walking closer to him, within his reach. She said softly, "What do you think? You can tell me if you don't think I should." She held eye contact with him, a sign that she was okay with whatever he might say.
River blinked up at him, her loving expression not wavering. She opened her mouth to reply, but couldn`t think of any words to say so she closed her mouth and left it at that.
Lucas nodded, grabbed his knife, and began to skin the deer.
Xylo’s skin tingled every time she brought her hand to his face. His eyes were appreciative of her affection, meeting hers in soft unison. His family might’ve been dead, and so might hers, but at least they had each other now. His wings cranes down and touched hers softly as his gaze kept piercing hers.
(Lol I get it XD) Eva squinted some at the blood and flesh of the deer, but didn’t move. She had to get used to it all, she understood it was a part of her life now.
Horius nodded, answering “For the most part. Still hurts to move a bit, but all the bullets are out and nothings infected.”
