Al knew what he was saying. But Edmund's thoughts echoed his so perfectly that it was hard not to read his intention differently. He could feel the misery radiating off Edmund, twin to his own, and it was so clear. They couldn't withstand more of this.
"I will. When you're recovered, I'll go. It's better that way." They wouldn't encounter each other as often. Maybe he'd be able to put Edmund from his mind, and focus on rebuilding. Starting a pride of his own. A family.
He couldn't see another way for them, even as he curled tighter around Edmund, nuzzling his side gently. This wasn't working. They just kept hurting each other, over and over.
