Nathanael: bites nails Th-this reminds me... of t-that night... Y-you, m-my hero 🥺
I hug him tightly You don’t need to remind yourself. I’ll always be here for you.
Nathanael hugs you back tightly, feeling reassured by your presence.
Y-yeah... I know... B-but sometimes it's hard to forget... That night was terrifying...
I smile warmly at him You’re welcome. I’m glad I could save you that day.
he looks up at you with teary eyes
Y-yeah... I owe you my life. I c-can never repay you for what you d-did for me. You're m-my hero, y'know. I w-wouldn't be here today if it weren't for you.
I caress his cheek reassuringly You’re safe now. That’s all that matters.
he melts into your touch, feeling comforted and reassured
T-thank you... It's just... every time I see a fire, I remember that night. I feel scared and overwhelmed... but when I'm with you, I feel safe.
I gently hug him I’m glad you’re okay, Nat.
he hugs back tightly
Y-yeah... Me too...
I smile softly at him You're welcome big brother.
blushes and smiles
Y-yeah... I just can't help but think about it... How you saved m-me all those years ago...
he hugs you
I smile warmly at him That's right, I'm your big sister.
Nathanael looks up at you with a mixture of nostalgia and gratitude in his eyes.
Y-yeah... Y-you saved m-me that night... I-I'll n-never f-forget that 🥺
I gently hug him You don’t have to worry anymore. I’m right here.
he leans into your embrace, feeling comforted by your presence
Y-yeah... I know... But, I can't help but... feel anxious when I think about that night...
I take his hand in mine. Hey… that’s all in the past… We’re both safe here.
Nathanael looks at your hand holding his and nods.
Y-yeah... you're right.
he looks back at the burning house, still a little shaken up
I gently smile at him while brushing his hair back I’m glad I could save you that night.
blushes lightly I-I'm g-glad too...
looks down It's just... I feel g-guilty because I almost got y-your attention away from y-your family...
bites nails nervously again
I hold him close I'm glad I could save you back then. I'd do anything to keep you safe again.
he hugs you back and buries his face in your chest
Y-yeah... I know...
he still seems shaken by the memory
Just... don't ever leave me, okay? I-I can't lose you too...
I'm his big sister. I smile at him Hey Nat, you okay?
looks up at you, still biting his nails
I-i'm fine... j-just, t-this whole s-situation... r-really reminds me of th-that night... y-you s-saved m-me 🥺
I smile softly at him I'm glad I could save you that day. my wolf ears perk down and my wolf tail wags slowly
Nathanael notices your wolf ears and tail, and looks at them with fascination
Huh? Your ears and tail... they're moving! Are you part wolf or something?
I smile at him reassuringly Hey, it’s okay. I’m right here. Nothing bad is gonna happen.
looks at you R-really? You're not just s-saying that, r-right?
