He held Edge firm, but gently at the same time, not allowing his mate to squirm away..He was worried now, staring at his mate intently. He waited silently, hoping for an answer of any sort or a sign, a twitch, a change in breathing..anything but the cold silence he was faced with now as Edge tried to pull away. He knew his mate was still thinking, could practically see the cogs and gears turning in his head. He knew not to interrupt when he was thinking, so he wouldn't derail Edge's thoughts. So he held on and waited. Watching him, he barely had a chance to react as Edge wrenched away from him, the sound of glass and metal shattering made him flinch and he attempted to reach for Edge again when his own wrist was grabbed and he was thrown back onto the bed. Edge towered over him, blocking out the light above, all Path saw was a dark shadow staring down at him with twinkling violet eyes as Edge spoke.

 His eyes widened at his words and unconsciously he bore his teeth and growled. Protect his offspring and mate. His instincts chorused. Even more so when Edge didnt smell like his mate anymore. The scent of his shiny new scales, slippery..sulfuric. .but rational thought took over and Path knew this was still Edge, his mate and soon to be father of his children..his gaze softened as Edge let him go. Sitting up, he watched him, still a little frozen after what had happened. He furrowed his eyebrows, not sure what to do. Danger. It flashed in his mind. Even with Edge warning him to stay away. So he didnt move, as painful as it was to watch Edge cry out in pain. It didnt last too long thankfully, before he was knocked back again and Edge was clutching onto him, crying. He numbly held him, feeling smooth skin instead of scales...He pulled Edge closer, rocked them both in silence as Edge sobbed. Silent when he spoke. Resting his head on thd other's shoulders. Thoughts completely in a disarray. Edge was....not okay. And that worried him, especially if he were to go to a week long sleep leaving the eggs in care of his mate. It wasn't that he didn't trust Edge, but from whst had just happened...he clenched his hands and held Edge closer. 

 "...I never learned much of the Hydras...what I know..it may not work,.even then, I do not know if such things still hold truth.." He murmured softly, avoiding tears. He wasnt gonna cry over this, "You wont me...I kniw you will not..."
