Path drew back his arms as Edge shouted and suddenly there was a deep sense of dread that gripped his heart. No he didnt want to be controlled again. He would have growled and fought back if he wasn't so weak and his throat so dry from the toxins above. Afterva moment of thought and he also didnt want to scare Sleipnir and Skylark. So he just stared up at Edge, diSkylarkeyes meeting fiery violet ones. He tensed, readied for nothing until the dagger was gone from Edge's eyes and he was once again held close and spoken too softly. It was relieving to knie though that Edge was being protective and not cruel when he had snapped at Path. Perhaps the both of them had yet to recognise the other as a mate....

 Letting Edge clean him, he held out his arms again, towards the crawling Skylark, taking his child ia tight embrace. Smoothing back his ruffled hair, Path managed a small smike as Skylark rambled, "Yes...Yes, Daddy gas a beautiful voice," He croaked, throat still dry. Then tucked Skylark's head under his chin rocking him gently "And I love you so very much Skylark, you and your pretty little eyes from Daddy. " He mumbled cheerfully.

 Sleipnir was more wary than his twin, feeling apprehensive towards the dirty man who made Daddy shout. As the blindfold was removed, he found that the man was cleaner but chose to cling to Daddy when his twin advanced. Even when Path took notice and stretched out a hand, having to coax Sleipnir into it, the infant had to literally been pushed by Daddy before he accepted the hand. Path curled his hand against Sleipnir's soft cheeks and in a quiet whisper, Sleipnir greets, "Mommy." Feeling 'home" wash over him. Mommy's touch familiar but not as warm as Daddy's.

 "Father loves you too Sleipnir very much..." Path said smilingly, leaning against Edge, sleep washing over him oncemore but he struggled not to fall. Watching Sleipnir crawl back to Edge's lap while he rocked Skylark.
