The thoughts of Marona being gone had affected Ash deeply, and although many of those fears were eased with her presence, they still managed to haunt him. Ash felt the treacherous tears threatening to escape from his eyes, tears that had been restrained for years and years. All of these events that had happened today shook him and now that he was here with Marona he was able to feel the full impact upon him.
He had been scared. Truly, utterly scared that maybe Marona wouldn’t come back, that she would end up like Haze and Jasmine. Those thoughts brought up memories, memories that were best left in the back of hid mind than brought forward like this. For these thoughts and memories were beginning to overwhelm him, and although he was not one to live in the past –the past were certainly impacting him in this moment. He felt tears attempting to escape his eyes.
When Marona looked at him, however, with tears still staining her cheeks and her shaky smile, he realized that he must push these tears back. He was her guardian, right? He couldn’t just go crying on her now – that would be letting her down. Besides, he had sworn off these tears years and years ago. Thus, no tears spilt when he looked back at her – rather a comforting smile as he held her.
Like Marona, he had glanced over to Yoruichi as she slipped into the shadows. So, she had helped them afterall. Although he was still wary of her, a lot of his former doubts towards the woman had disappeared just as she faded into the shadows. Hopefully, though, he would have a chance to thank her.
He turned his attention back to Marona moments later, listening to her as she spoke. She had been looking for him his whole time as well… Had she been looking for him ever since last night? That thought caused him a bit of guilt, even though he knew the circumstances that caused this were not under his control. For despite they were not controllable, he should have still been there for her.
Now, however, they were reunited – so he hoped he could somehow make this up to young girl.
“It’s alright, Marona,” He smiled softly as he attempted to calm Marona down, his hand moving behind her head to brush against it gently. “We’re together now, aren’t we?”
“And… I’m glad to have found you, too…”
(( OOC: It's alright! It was nice RPing with you~. As for the delay, no worries. I'm a slow RPer as it is. XP ))
