Eclipse felt his heart rate increase as he stared at where their claws were intertwined between them before he looked back at Dreamseeker. He could feel a calming warmth from the tips of his claws to the edges of his wings; similar to getting a hug from Skua or his parents, but not quite the same. He nearly missed the first words Dreamseeker said as she looked up towards the canopy above them. [color=ed1c24][i]Tell the truth?[/i][/color] he wasn't sure he liked where this conversation was going but squeezed her claws in a way he hoped was reassuring without actually needing to say anything. 

As she began her explanation Eclipse felt his brow furrow in confusion. This was definitely not what he was expecting, what does that have to do with anything? He could see the faint tremors in the smaller dragon's limbs and felt fear and concern rear their ugly heads once again as he tried to remember anything that his mother had told him about the NightWings and full moons. [color=ed1c24][i]Mind reading and seeing the future.[/i][/color] He made the connection just as she said it out loud and felt his whole body freeze.

His mind was reeling as he tried to remember if he'd thought anything particularly embarrassing or damning in the time since he'd met her. He had no idea. All could could really think was that Skua would be livid if he found out, but he also wasn't sure it was a secret he could keep from the other hybrid. They were practically brothers and told each other everything. He heard the quaver in Dreamseeker's voice and realized he wasn't angry. Confused and maybe a little hurt that she didn't tell him sooner, but not angry. It made some things make a lot more sense. Like how she knew what Jaguar liked to eat.

He squeezed her claws again as he reined in his thoughts, now hyper aware of the fact that they might not be private, [color=ed1c24][b]"I'm not angry. It's a lot to take in and, uh, I definitely need to process it, but I'm not going to make you leave."[/b][/color] He took a deep breath and used the grip he had on her claws to pull her into a tight hug and wrap his wings around her smaller form. [color=ed1c24][b]"My mother told me stories, but to be honest I never thought they were true. I'm not sure the others will be as understanding, but I'm not going to let them force you away."[/b][/color]
