Ears would come forward as she flicked those hazel eyes back to him, she looked; drunk. High on the bliss of this moment, he studied her face his own warming if only by a fraction. Looking down at her coiled around them. He welcomed her weight as she pressed it into him cradling her allowing her to rest. "Tired," he nodded slightly waiting for her to expand expectantly. "but... I'll be fine." he wasn't certain how convinced he was, but she did seem well enough. Silver eyes followed her movements, watching the way she tenderly brushed over them, affectionate and delicate, considerate of their fragility. The soldier's toes would curl slightly, unease rolling through him, could he be so...soft? But maybe that wasn't his role, he was the protector, as he would be for them.
He snapped out of his thoughts when her movements changed, watching as she plucked one of the boys from her breast. "Hexx— " his eyes fell upon their boy. "this one, his breathing. It isn't right." Golde tried, her fear beginning to consume her, "I don't know what to do, Hexx..." her voice shook him to his core, and he snapped into a mindset of his past. ❝ Give him to me, ❞ it was order, released harsher than he'd meant and he didn't wait. Scooping the boy gently from Golde to between his own forelegs.
Ears pressed forward tightly with concentration he tried to move carefully, pushing the boys head back to extend his neck and open his airways before pressing his large head to the boys chest. ❝ He's not choking, ❞ if he were he wouldn't have been able to get milk down.
Not knowing what was wrong with him Hexx tried only to sooth his breathing and make it easier, he began gently licking up his neck in a repetitive and calming motion. If he could calm his breathing maybe the pup wouldn't be straining so hard. ❝ I think he'll be ok for now, but we should consult a healer, ❞
