[center]As they neared the door, the blonde found his determination and courage fading. He wasn't easily frightened or really startled by much, though the concept of facing his sire and telling him what he'd done was frightening. His throat felt dry and he swallowed thickly, his feet pausing before the barrier between the man who'd saved him. 

How should he do this? 

Go inside and snarl it? Or demand he listen and then say it? Or should he- 

Without realizing it, Ryanair’s hand unconsciously opened the door. At Clara's words he offered a nod and stepped inside, his whole body tensing at the sight before him. Kieran was sitting up and had his head in his hands, the bandages covering his wounds were lightly stained with red. The blonde let go of Clara and moved forward with way and measured steps, until he was standing beside the nightstand. He set the plate down and swallowed to gather the courage he'd need, his hands curling into fists at his sides. 

“Oh- Ryanair? Clara? What do y-” Kieran began but Ryanair cut him off with a sharp shake of his head. He saw his sire's hand reach for him out of the corner of his eye, he jerked back and moved to the seats in front of the window. He took a moment to glance outside and will his heart to slow, turning to face his sire he offers a fake smile. 

“I wanted to talk to you about something.” He offered almost pleasantly, the only indication of his nerves was his hands that gripped the fabric of his shirt from behind. Kieran blinked and shifted slowly until he was cross-legged in the middle of his bed, Ryanair paused and scanned the bandages once more. Instinct had him wanting to check them, while his mind demanded he began speaking.  His sire didn't say anything except nod, the blonde bit his lip and lowered his gaze to the carpeted-ground. 

[i]How should I begin?[/i] His mind pleads and Ryanair finches on the inside at the child-like voice, his own voice. He willed the panic to fade and mentally counted to six, his mind slowly returning to the present and the task at hand.[/center]
