I wish to fight.

{Because, damn it all, he knows battle. Relationships? Apparently he is a failure in that arena.}

Do not reply if you are weak.

[dragonrising]

I care for you too.

[Sitting across from him, he starts to gently heal the injuries with his energy, closing his eyes so he can concentrate on that.]

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Runyu's magic must work well with his own. Sesshomaru feels the coolness easing away his pain, but he is cautious about being greedy.}

That's enough. Thank you.

[dragonrising]

[He offers a little more just to be absolutely sure before lowering his energy. He feels drained but he looks steady at least.]

There. You're welcome, Sesshomaru.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Runyu will be pulled into Sesshomaru's arms whether he is steady or not.}

Rest. {He closes his eyes.} I cannot return to who I used to be. I must follow the path you and I have forged.

[dragonrising]

[He gasps softly in surprise to find himself suddenly cradled in those arms. But he gives in, too tired to resist in actuality.]

Finding a new light is never easy. You will manage though. I know that I did.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Caring for Runyu is part of this new path. It feels right and he smiles at the wisdom behind Runyu's words.}

You have a lot of faith in a pup.

[dragonrising]

You will because I can tell that you want to.

[Closing his eyes, he lets himself actually rest now. Awake but relaxed.]

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He encourages Runyu to sit with him, shifting his fur so the dragon can rest against it.}

I am not one to surrender.

[dragonrising]

It isn't surrender. Rather it's gaining strength by learning to change and adapt.

[Settling against the fur, he sighs gently. This is nice.]

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He considers adapting and, as Runyu rests against him, he decides it isn't so bad.}

For you. For myself. I will become someone new.

[dragonrising]

I think instead of someone new you'll just become a better version of who you are already.

[He smiles to himself.] And I like that.

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Laying a hand on Runyu's chest, he leans in and steals a soft kiss.}

You have exhausted yourself. Take my energy if you need it.

[dragonrising]

[He laughs softly and opens his eyes to look at him.]

I'm alright. I just need to rest. You're not the first I healed today. That's all.

[prince_of_the_moon]

Then rest with me. {He caresses Runyu's cheek.} Nothing will harm you.

[dragonrising]

Alright. I'll rest.

[Drawing in a deep breath, he closes his eyes again so he can nap for a moment. To regain his strength in the warmth and safety of the demon's arms.]

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He shoos even insects away, using his talons to cut them down mid-air. Now that he has made a decision, he feels at ease. If he is wanted, he will continue to visit his favorite dragon and no one will be able to stop him.}
