[Huvrye is still trying to catch his breath when his door slams open and Leo bolts through it, and instantly he's back on alert. Something's wrong- she's here- she can't be here- but something's wrong-]
[He tears the sheet off him and gets to his feet, and Leo- relaxes? What-]
[It should mean everything's fine- Leo wouldn't relax if they were in danger-]
[But he can't look at Leo without seeing blood on his face and his shell torn open- Leo's death rattle is still echoing in his ears-]

[He crosses the room quickly and wraps his arms around Leo, holding him tightly. He's okay. He's okay. But Huvrye needs to make sure-]
[He loosens his grip and runs a hand firmly and carefully over Leo's back. Even through his pajamas, it should be obvious he's checking Leo's shell for injury - for that monstrous crack that had become a gaping hole. He has to be okay.]
