Aya relaxed and removed her hands as she saw him calm down. 
"What do you mean 'supposed to save you'?" she frowned, feeling a nurturing instinct take over her. She scooped up his body and laid him on her lap, gently patting the fur between his ears. "What happened, Destin? Did someone try to hurt you?"

Destin's tail droops and he avoids looking at her, as much as he wanted to. "I wanted the river to take me Aya...I'm a horrible healer and now everyone's going to die because of me.." Tears form in his eyes as he buries his face in her shirt. "You should have just let me die Aya.." He whispers, squeezing his eyes shut.
