Its the night Joey and Xef set off out of town. Its super late and you both are tired out. Deercat is tired too and takes you two to a nice little cave. nobody was around and it didn't look like anyone would.
You two were laying against deercat trying to sleep.
Joey pov~
Xef and i were trying to get cozy out here. i was, nearly asleep even but i heard something. Crying? Xefros was crying over his injuries. There wasn't much i could do sadly. I asked what i may though. What i got was him clinging to me, crying into my shirt. Poor kiddo.. I just carefully put my arm around him and kiss his forehead.
Xef pov~
Joey held me, i didnt expect that. I expected being pushed away and told to shut up. She kisses my forehead and its like the floodgates were opened because i cried even harder. I was heaving with these heavy tears soaking her shirt. "I'm sorry Joey.." She held me tighter when i say this as if to reassure me it's okay. I just cant stop.

I suppose i have reason to cry myself, i'm so far from home, from Jude.. He apologizes through his heavy crying and that does it in for me. I burst into tears and hold him closer. We have each other and i appreciate that.

They cry like this for a couple hours. Eventually they are so exhausted they peacefully fall asleep in one anothers embrace. Deercat curls around them and falls asleep as well. All is well for now. These two pure doves are safe momentarily from the raging storm around.
