Isoke x Belial Response:
Isoke watched as her closest friend, so much a brother to her, paced restlessly back and forth. Things were very strained among the little family. Isoke's presence while providing physical assistance in the form of an extra set of claws for hunting and gathering had done little thus far to sooth the trouble Rennoa.
Sick of watching him, the antlered ulaya stood up and strode directly into his path, "You have to talk to her," she said firmly. "I don't know what's going on with her, but she needs to talk it out and darn it Bel you're the only one to do it."
Belial stopped short surprised by Isoke's sudden interruption. He'd been so caught up in his own thoughts as he paced that he hadn't even realized his sister was watching. He huffed and turned around but didn't continue pacing. "I know something is eating away at her... I... have my suspicions, but I ..." he sat down and sighed. "I just don't know if it'll make it worse if I even try to talk it out with her. If her demon side decides to flare on me it might hurt the children...."
"The way things are going now, they already are in danger," Isoke replied bluntly, as she sat beside him. Usually cheerful, it was taking everything in her to keep smiling as she tried to help keep the home burrow clean and beef up the food reserves. "Bel, it's time. You can't wait any longer."
She was right of course, Belial knew that. Ren was tearing herself up inside and, "Yes, it's time..." he looked Isoke in the eye all his feelings plain on his face the love and the fears.... "I don't know how this is going to go. You might not want to be too close, just in case...."
"I'll just range a bit for some hunting. I'll still be in the territory so if you need me I won't be too hard to find." She nuzzled him reassuringly. "She loves you and those children growing within her. Trust in that and your love for her and them." She waited for him to nod before beginning to trot away. She turned back once, "Love you, bro," and then she dashed off into the trees.
Belial sat for a while watching where his sister disappeared and gathered his thoughts. He'd put this off for way too long. Finally he stood and walked to the newly completed lower entrance to their cave/burrow. It was well hidden and Bel made extra sure to make sure the cover outside was just right after he passed through it. The tunnel came out on the cool end near the water supply, the spot where they stored the food. As he emerged he called out. "Ren, love... where are you dear?" With her dark coat she could easily hide in shadows when she wished so he looked around and waited for her reply before approaching...

Belial x Ren Response:
She had run away. Running to the forest, her body blazing now with fire from her tails and paws. Her hormones had drove her wild in one way, but the repressed demon inside her began to flare from her secret. Her deepest. Darkest. Secret. She couldn't hold it anymore, and her demon form took to manifesting her anger. As she flew through the forest in which she lived, she scorched the ground and made a path straight through. Trees that she touched or pushed against began to crackle and crunch beneath the touch of her fires.
All the way to the meadows- the clearing... Where she opened her mouth of elongated fangs and roared fire through her maw. Screaming and yelling the pain she repressed for so long. Could this hurt the babies? Her mind couldn't wrap her head around their safety.
Finally she had become selfish, but she was drowning in her own sorrow and guilt. beneath her, the earth was now barren of the flowers that one flowed with the gentle winds. Now, burned without a shred of existence...
Shivers ran through Belial as he realized Rennoa was not in the den. He tried to remain calm, he had come in the back door after all. He went out the upper opening prepared to call out for her gently again when he caught the scent of smoke. He lifted his gaze toward the surrounding trees and saw the scorch marks that clearly showed her path through the trees. Driven by fear he followed the path not caring that as he got closer the trail burned his paws. With every stride he panted her name until it was a scream full of his growing terror for his mate and the lives growing within her... "Ren... Ren.... Oh my love.... Rennoa... RENNOA!!!!"
He came to a halt at the edge of the meadow and just stared at his flaming mate and the scortched emptiness that surrounded her. Was it the sense of her pain, his own pain or the smoke that cause his eyes to well with tears?
"Oh love, am I too late?" he said softly to himself before gathering his love and strength to approach her. "Ren... love... It's Belial, I'm here... Please talk to me..."
