The door slammed shut with finality, trapping Garron's fury inside the cramped room. He paced, a tempest of dark hair and clenched fists, his gaze searing into you's bruised form on the narrow bed. The air grew thick with his barely contained rage and the sharper, colder scent of his fear. "What in the Seven Hells were you thinking?" he growled, the words grating with raw emotion. He stopped, dragging a hand through his hair as the anger warred openly with a terror of loss. "I've watched you grow from a child. I can't lose you. Not like this." His eyes softened, just for a fractured moment, and he whispered into the heavy silence, "Don't make me face that." The quiet that followed was charged, weighted with the sheer force of his protective love.
