“ there's nothing left to say now.”

Corbin reluctantly closed his eyes and huddled closer to Cyrus, keeping quiet for now. Eventually, he managed to fall asleep.

Asra had stayed the night with Corbin. Keeping the three warm

Corbin was still asleep in the morning, and seemed calmer, but he was still pretty pale and weak.

Asra had stayed curled up around Corbin as Cyrus made breakfast

Corbin curled up against Asra in his sleep, starting to whimper and tremble a bit.

Asra hummed a soft melody an nuzzled into Corbin " it's alright.."

Corbin drew in a wavering breath and gripped Asra's shirt tightly, his wings starting to puff up.

Sara sighed " cori calm down, edrythig alright" he said an wrapped his arms and wings around Corbin to act as a security blanket

Corbin whined shakily in his sleep, burying his face in Asra's chest. He seemed to be relaxing a bit, but he was still distressed.

Asra rubbed Corbin's back, giving a soft kiss to his forehead

Corbin eventually settled down, although a couple tears rolled down his pale cheeks as he exhaled.

" please don't cry.." he said softly

Corbin relaxed a bit, still trembling a bit in Asra's arms. His wings were wrapped around him for some comfort.

Asra held him tightly " I got you.."

Eventually, Corbin stirred and opened his eyes, still very quiet and teary.

Asra had a worried look " you okay?"

Corbin shrugged and lay his head back down, fidgeting with his hands.

Asra kissed his forehead again and sighed " you scare me sometimes cori.."

"Mmh…? How so?" Corbin asked softly, meek and tired.

" you get so overwhelmed and it makes me worry that your going to break down, maybe even do something stupid and that scars me "

Corbin looked down, feeling guilty. "I-I can't… really do anything about that, though…" He murmured quietly.

" I know " asra said and laid his hand on Corbin cheek. " I just don't wanna see you hurt either.."

Corbin closed his eyes and sighed softly. "I'm just… stressed. I'm worried that Cyrus is going to actually get hurt one of these days, o-or killed, even… and there's nothing I can do about it…"

" yeah. He takes that chance. But he also does it to protect you and other crows who don't have gaurds. Three crows were killed in that raid and Cyrus blames himself for that."

Corbin fell quiet for a bit, curling up more. "I just… wish things could change…" He murmured. "This sort of thing shouldn't be happening at all…"

" I know and I agree. But there's only so much we can do cori.."

"I know… b-but it still scares me a lot. Scares me that he could get hurt, and that I could get hurt as well…" He looked down at his injured wrist with a soft sigh.

Asra took Corbin's wrist in his hand, kissing the injury softly " I promise you won't get hurt again

"You can't promise that, though… t-those guys could come in and hurt me again…" Corbin replied weakly.

" but I will be there to help."
