[He's so glad to hear her say those words, that she would do her best and do whatever it took to stay alive and get through this together with him. He can see the tears threatening to spill out, but she's doing her best to be brave, to weather this storm they've found themselves in. His chest buzzes and fills with a warmth when she nuzzles into his palm, and he couldn't be happier to nod his head back at her when she asks for him to stay with her.
Of course he would. She didn't need to ask- he'd do everything in his power to ensure he stood by her side through thick and thin.
And that's when the unexpected happens.
Dark thoughts swirl inside of his head, and words bubble up inside that have been branded onto his mind that were not removed during that short moment of salvation. They echo in his head, and the world seems to go quiet once again.
Just remember... listen to my voice alone. Drown out anyone else.
Ajax's pupils reduce into small pinpoints in his eyes as he looks at Yoimiya, as more words play in his head, spoken to him from his master.
Alnair. Don't forget about me. I love you more than she ever could. That wench has always been so selfish, always so focused on her feelings. It's not fair that you're always forced to comfort her.
It's not fair. He has done a bit of comforting for her, and yet nothing has changed. But Seraphina's love is eternal, and he wouldn't dare forget about her. Ajax sways back and forth just slightly as his thoughts are suddenly engulfed by Seraphina's will, listening to her voice, continuing to nod at Yoimiya, yet these acknowledgements aren't for her. But whatever distance between them allows her influence to not be as strong, and his own pure thoughts penetrate the cloud of darkness over his mind.
No. He needs to be there for Yoimiya, whenever she needs him.]
I promise, Yoimiya. I'll do everything to stay alive and stand by you, no matter what.
