The words were like a knife to Aya's heart. A horrifying thought flashed through her mind. [i]Suicide! Destin was trying to commit suicide![/i] What had lead to this? In her days of studying how to heal people she'd of course looked into mental health, but it was really her forefront. What if he was depressed? What if he was delirious? Throughout the muddle of thoughts only one thing was clear to her. "Destin, I'd never let you die!" She pressed him closer to her and felt the uncertainty of her young age crash in. Although she wanted to be strong, she started to cry uncontrollably.

Destin whimpers as she begins to cry. "Hey now...I'm..." He sighs and nuzzles her face the best her can. "Aya don't cry. Please don't cry." He uncurls his paws from under him, wincing at the pain in his side, but he leans up and licks her cheeks and chin, nuzzling her. "I didn't mean to upset you. I would never mean to upset you..." He whispers that last part and then grows cold. [i]Does she even know how I feel about her?[/i]
