[center]“He never meant to throw you away.” Ryanair stated softly, his eyes focused on the beeping monitor. His shifted in the chair until he was cross-legged, his elbows resting on his knees as he inhaled deeply. He was exhausted but knew that his dreams would involve forgotten pain and terror that he'd blocked from his mind, he shifted his attention to Clara and felt his shoulders deflate. Kieran has told him the story, and the blonde remembered it with clarity as he parted his lips. “He told me what happened that night, and while I admit to feeling anger and confusion in a way I understand. He hadn't meant to bite you, he'd felt whole and at peace and had forgotten for a moment that he was a vampire. He simply lived for that moment. After he'd bitten you he'd felt regret as well as fear, he stayed with you and then fled because the hunters that had chased him had found him. He wanted to protect you, so he did the only thing his mind demanded he do. He ran and kept running even when the sun was high in the sky, he told me he went to see you. He kept his distance and never tapped into the bond for fear of angering you or failing you as a sire.” Ryanair fell silent after those words left his lips, his hands folding themselves into his lap. Some points were cloudy and really he wasn't the one that needed to say all of this. His head tipped backwards and a sigh echoed his lips, the smell of food was thankfully dulled due to the closed door. He sat up a moment later when the monitor skipped a beat, his eyes focusing on Kieran as it happened once more. He rose from his seat and moved to the tubes that connected them, his ears listening to the irregular heartbeats. He bit his bottom lip and turned to head for the door, he came to a halt when the sound of claws scratching the wood met his ears. Swiftly reaching the door he pulls it open and relaxes at who meets his gaze, Ynez chuffes at his softly and Ryanair moves aside to let her inside. The blonde moves to his seat after a moment Ynez jumps up on the bed and curls her body around Kieran, sitting down he arches a brow at the Alpha. She flicks her tail at him and sighs softly, Ryanair doesn't ask though he does relax when the monitor begins to beat normally once more. [/center] [@earlymorninstar]
