Both servant and Owner stood face to face, the cold rain trickling against Dim’s face as he peered up. They were located outside of the tower, enduring the weather nature had provided them for the morning. Normally, the rain was something to look forward to… But he was assuredly not ready for the news received. Reave has made the decision of breaking ties with the boy… Which means they must leave their separate ways, never to see each other again. Of course, this choice was not entirely one-sided… Dim had to pick the preferred path for his own future. Stay here… Or move on. The rational side of him did make sense of the situation, urging that he leave while he still has a chance… But at the same time, rationality sounded ludicrous. This was his life; there was no changing it now. It was far too late. Had he been given an opportunity like this years earlier, maybe he would have scrambled for freedom. The damage has been done. Leaving now would be considered suicide. Be it by knights claiming his life for glory,or by his own doing.Shaking his head in refusal, the guardian made his choice. It was better to stay than to leave… Not only to preserve his own life, but knowing this was the only life had he known. Reave is someone he literally cannot function without, and losing him would cost him dearly. He loved the Shakat dearly, despite everything he’s been through… Dim would never betray his loyalty, not even if given the choice. The boy embraced his Master to the best of his ability, burying his face within the ebony fur. He did his absolute best not to cry… Of course, it never ceases to fail.“…I-I will not depart… Not ever! I wish to stay here with you… I will die with you…”
