He held Skylark close, wanting to pick the both of them up when Skylark wailed out loud and Path couldn't help but smile at his son. Slepnir, in the meanwhile, had his eyes gone wide at the sight of Daddy lying so still. He was frozen in Father's arms for a few seconds before he rushed over to his brother and started to hit him with tiny curled up fists, bellowing angrily at him, "No! How could you!?"

 Path was quick to pick the both of them up, separating them as he brought them outside once more, "Hush..." He said softy to the sobbing Sleipnir, now crying into his arm. He sat on a chair and placed both of them on his lap, "Daddy is just sleeping, he's tired. Let him rest. Daddy still loves you both very much, but it was very wrong of you Skylark, even on my behalf, to hurt Daddy." He spoke, turning his head to stare at Skylark, golden eyes meeting violet. He kissed his forehead and ruffled his hair gently, "Don't do it again, young-un," he turned to Sleipnir now, "And no matter what, it isn't right to hurt your brother. Ever. Promise me, both of you, to be good."

 Sleipnir nodded solemnly, drying his tears and then turning on Father's lap to give his brother a hug, burying his face against his neck.
