No matter how tough of an act she puts on, she’s still super sensitive and emotionally fragile. Zerik is her main source of comfort and will come to him when she doesn’t feel well.

Lota’s words cut into her like knives as she stormed off into the dead forest, her claws ripping into the ground as she moved. Fury and shock bubbled within her as she recalled her harsh words, and she grit her teeth trying to combat her own emotion. It felt as if a fire was lit in her chest and, with the initial fury and shock, her throat tightened with emotional pain that she dreaded. She should have never agreed to joining them. She should have never tried to help out. How could she have been so stupid. The vile thoughts of regret also began to swarm her mind and she let out a loud hiss, baring her teeth at the emptiness as lightning crackled around her. She let out an enraged shriek and blue flames shot from her maw, hitting a nearby tree and freezing it shortly before it shattered into brittle shards of bark. Despite her longing for destruction, it was best not to start a fire, no matter how satisfying it would be to set the world ablaze, so ice would have to do. She stood still, grey smoke swirling around her parted jaws as Lota’s words once again echoed through her mind. She snapped her jaws shut, her tail now curled between her legs as she felt the unpleasant and suffocating feeling of anxiety raise up inside her. She shakily walked over to where the tree once stood, curled up and began to sob, unable to take it anymore. It only seemed like a few minutes before the light beating of wings and a heavy thump disturbed her breakdown. Terrified, she shakily stood up, her teeth bared towards the sound and she prepared another shot. Out of the darkness, a large familiar male approached her, his coat mimicking the abyssal starry sky itself. “Zerik” she breathed, relieved to see him. “Ender, i’ve-“ he began only to stop suddenly, noticing Ender’s broken down state “what.. happened..?” He said gently, slowly walking towards his unstable counterpart. “Nothing! You know.. just a stressful day haha..” she laughed nervously, her voice cracking at her poor attempt to mask her emotion. “I.. somehow don’t believe you..” he murmured, half teasing as he looked her up and down. The negative energy that radiated from her made his fur rise. Ender stepped backwards, stumbling over her tail and legs as he approached her, his chest now only inches from hers. “look at me..” he said gently and she shyly looked up, her tired eyes meeting his. His gaze was warm and loving and it made her heart skip a beat. She lost her composure, her eyes welled up with tears and she bit her lip, fruitlessly trying to hold them back as they streamed down her cheeks once again. “I-i..” she choked and his hand met her face as he began to wipe away her tears. At this she gave in, melting into his arms and closing her eyes, drinking in the warmth and comfort he brought her. “It’s ok.. you can tell me when your ready..” he purred, his voice becoming as soft as silk. It had only been a couple minutes of being together and the pain and doubt seemed to just wash away. Desperately clinging to him, she stayed there for a moment before daring to look back up. Their eyes met and her heart fluttered once again. Such a warm expression...
