THE GENERAL
golden lung dragon & black panther w/ vitiligo & platinum silver fox. unknown age - ancient. bai 'pure' shi 'honest' lynn lingré. prefers lynn if close. they/them. blind. wind element & electric element. firstborn son of jerisidie lingré & current head of family/general. courting kydobi & idyllfields. marauder of the pitt. demiromantic gray-asexual.
exhaling softly, they curled tighter about him, reassuringly rubbing their cheek into his fur, tail curling underhis chin. "as any responsible parent would, kydobi. their circumstance of birth should not haunt them. you do owe them that, yes, especially as their father. aurum stops your attempts to reach them, doesn't he? you have a right to them. you just need to reach out to their mother." they murmured softly, pressing him closer in an awkward attempt to comfort him.
they knew he would not cry, not show weakness in front of anyone but once ... once they had been that close that he may have cried in their presence. resting their paw on his shoulder in an embrace, they finished grooming his wound and pushed their nose to his ear before giving a gentle yank if he would let them.
standing up and stepping away, they motioned him with a curl of their tail, "let's move somewhere more comfortable, and more private." they murmured gently, heading back towards the pitt's main camp, trailing through the market and square, walking at his side or briefly ahead of him, keeping their tail on his shoulder as a guide. heading towards their den, the panther halted just outside of the sandstone walls. tail twitching behind them, they considered the still-warm stone before vaulting themselves up it, paws finding cracks in the stone and wood, muscles flexing as they hauled themselves up the wall.
cresting the top, they stuck their head over the edge, and curled their tail as they called down, "weren't expecting that, were you? come up, there might be an easier way inside. nobody can disturb us here, and it's isolated. high up too."
blue eyes glinting, they pulled back from the edge, crossing the wooden beams back towards the section of the roof that still bore a large slab of stone, enough that two of them in dragon form could curl up. there in the corner, was the beginning of a nest, fresh and new. settling on the straw and branches, they stamped down a comfortable portion before tugging a fur over it. sitting in the rougher materials, they nudged their pearl, a giant gem the size of one of their eggs, into the nest and settled with a great yawn. this was a safe place, one that they alone knew of.
