Temyc suddenly clung to her, like a scared child. "Devs was the only thing that truly gave my life meaning, and Chiara just was a great thing to add to that too. I have nothing now.....nothing." crying into her shoulder, his arms griping her tight, his yellow eyes now showing some redness in them from the tears. He was broken. He broke for this girl, whom he didn't even know.
Tsabe was scared at this rush of emotion. She'd never experienced anything like it. Her family had always treated her as if she were glass, never trusting her to do anything for herself. And now, with Temyc clutching her sobbing into her shoulder, she realized that as of that moment, she was all he had. She wrapped her arms around him and sang softly into his ear, a lullaby her mother sang to her many years ago... <span style='color:lightgreen'>Dy sy tlaag tui iyoj gjuiajt jats iyoj haup ogym ni thyolpaj.

Towards the songs end, the crying turned to gentle sobs, but he still held on her. Yet his grip was soft, weak, almost as though he were dough in her arm. He stared off blankly into space for a moment as he tried to gain his breath. After that silence, he whispered softly "You are a really good singer...", his reddened eyes looking up at her.
<span style='color:lightgreen'>Thank you</span> Tsabe breathed. <span style='color:lightgreen'>My mother used to sing it for me... I had a lot of nightmares growing up.</span> She released Temyc and stared into the distance. She shut her eyes and tried to imagine her brother. Tsabe sighed. <span style='color:lightgreen'>We're a pretty messed up duo,huh?</span>
Temyc looked at the ground as he kneeled there, his eyes focused on the ground, his body lightly leaning against hers. "Yeah, we are....". His long snout in a frown, just wishing something could make this moment better for himself, and this poor girl.
Her head drooped, and she leaned against Temyc lightly. She shut her eyes again, and breathing heavily, drifted off to sleep. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td>crappy post, i know. but i have no time right now. i found out my SAT score and i'm very happy as a Junior who didn't take any prep classes who got a 1570. show me the love!</td></tr></table>
Temyc lightly held her close, and scratched behind her ears lightly, to help relax her as they sat in the silence. His eyes felt like closing, but he was not tired. He did not wish to sleep, he wanted to sit there, and savor the silence of some sort of contentment for once in his life. He continued to scratch the back of her neck and ears as she slept so peacefully, in his arms.
Tsabe slept peacefully, her first uninterrupted sleep since Fronima knows when. (--_time_warp_--) She awoke some time later, feeling heavy headed and listless. She twisted her body to both sides and groaned as she heard her vertabrae crack. Tsabe rubbed her eyes lightly, and turned to Temyc. <span style='color:lightgreen'>How long was I asleep?</span> she asked, biting back a yawn.
Temyc's brow perked when the thill suddenly spoke, and he twitched with alittle bit of surprise. "Um...uh." he checked his watch then looked back at her. "About four and a half hours." He stretched his arms and leaned back against the tree. "I couldn't just leave you here, asleep, outside, all by yourself."
