It was a cold night with dark, charged clouds, where on the horizon lightning were coming out of them. In Jade's Palace the climate was not much different, where a cold gale swept the hero's hall while a certain feline watched the movement of his master's meditation pool. The young master seemed tired and dejected, her tail hardly stirring and was spilled on the cold floor along with her limbs.
Gradually her state changed, to a shrinking of legs and tail, hugging herself as she continued to stare at the small pool. It was not long before a certain panda noticed the cat's absence at the dinner table and began to search for her, and when he find her, his eyes didn't stop watching her. With every little movement the panda made the cat's ears trembled, and by the kind of sound he, she didn't have to turn back to know who it was.
"Po," she said softly, her tail swinging but drawn. The cat let a few tears escape her eyes before continuing to speak in a painful voice: "I'm sorry!" - her tears becoming more evident to him. Po hastened to sit beside the cat, hold her in his arms and then let her cry on his chest.
"Tigress, what's the matter?" The panda asked with a worried look as he carefully held the cat's face, staring at his features, solitary tears masking the striped and orange, which were now disheveled and dimly lit. So much had happened to him in those moments, but what worried to him more was the fact that she didn't speak.
With a heavy heart, Po tried to encourage the cat to stand up and tell him what would have happened, but she resisted her companion's encouragement and shook her head, denying any help.
"Tigress, please! I want to help you! "Exclaimed the panda in distress as he held one of the cat's hands in his. Tigress sighed and finally said through tears, "I ... I lost," She said in her trembling voice.
Facing her with his eyes wide open and mouth half-open; Po, without the slightest intention, let out a faint, almost inaudible, "What?" That the cat just stared at him in anguish.
With the knot in her throat preventing her from continuing, the feline only had one option to make her mate better understand the situation. Unannounced, Tigresa took one of the panda's hands and led him directly on her belly, causing the panda to turn its attention to the spot and back to her face, whose eyes were dripping with more tears. Po finally understood the situation. The tightness in his chest of worry, loosened to give way to a sense of distress and tribulation. He hugged her tightly as his own tears trickled down and met the feline's fur.
"I'm sorry," she sobbed as more tears streamed from her eyes and her face sank into the panda's fur. Po just held her more and silenced her with a light kiss on her forehead. "You weren't to blame, you don't have to apologize," he replied, looking at her affectionately. "I should have helped you more ..." continued the panda as he watched the cat tremble in his arms.
"I ... I felt so much pain ... I just wanted it to end soon" - said the cat as more tears flowed. "I had no idea what was happening ..." continued Tigress as she felt the hand of her husband to comforting.
"I'm sure you tried hard to this ... Didn't happen," Po said quietly as he gently smoothed her head. "I didn't know that ... It was so delicate ... I should have been more attentive," he remarked as he touched his wife's hand. Tigress didn't respond, only settled himself to the panda's chest as she let a long, painful sigh out of his mouth, as if she were still in pain, and then close her eyes, feeling the comfort of his panda.
After a few minutes, Tigresa seemed to have regained his breath and seemed to be calmer, Po realized that and signaled her. "Are you feeling better? I've prepared a special dinner for us if you'd like ..." - the panda was cut off by the sudden movement of the cat, trying to get up. "Sorry... I just want to go to bed * Sigh* and rest. "With that said, the cat got up, sore, her bent back and her hand on the abdomen signaled that she was still in pain. Po quickly got up and followed her.
"Are you sure you don't need anything? If you wanted to, I can ..." - again the panda was silenced, this time by a strong grunt coming from the tiger. She watched him through some shelves and finally said, "Leave me alone ... Please." Po kept in his place, not sure what to say, his heart told him to protect her, to take care of her, but his mind forced him to stand in his place and obey.
"Maybe she just needs time," he thought as he watched her walk down the stairs to the stalls.
