Ricky had spent the day helping the Lieutenant he was under fill out a bit of paper work, mainly the routes some of the squad members beneath him were to patrol and their times in which they were to patrol them. It'd been the easy work that while tedious made Ricky glad he didn't have to go out into Zeltiva, because ever since the Ivysess incident that happened he really didn't want to go out and patrol again so soon. It wasn't because he feared that he may have made new enemies, quite the contrary he felt the opposite in fact. No... its because he still found himself questioning his duties which in turn led him to hold onto one thing, the one thing he'd been staring at this whole day as he thought he might make it finalized. His resignation.

Yet it just didn't feel right yet, for some reason he just wasn't ready to let it go. He needed more time to think about it, before he went through with this decision and started to make his own individual choices again. Everything he's done up to this point has been more so based on the fact he was a guard, a protector of the city that had to set an example for those he would recruit and train. Now he wasn't sure what he wanted, deep down he felt it best to quit and go back to his fisherman days, but at the same time he felt that now really wasn't the time to go about handing in such a form so soon. And then he suddenly learned why. One of the lower ranking guards stopped by requesting a moment of his time, and when he granted it freely he'd learned that Hannah had arrived to see him immediately. He wasn't sure what sort of crisis could occur but considering it was Hannah, he believed anything at this point had to be possible. Yet when he'd returned to the front office to meet with her, she'd brought Martin with him as Ricky learned the most disturbing news.

Telion had an accident.

Location: The Infirmary, Zeltiva's University

With Martin left to be watched by his Godmother, Ricky had already sped off in the direction to the University. He didn't rest even when his lungs felt tired and his legs wobbly from so much running, but when he finally arrived to see which room she was admitted in the nurse brought him down the hall, already aware of how urgent Ricky wanted to see his wife. When they reached the room and she allowed him in Ricky entered to find that Telion rested on the bed, her back against the frame and the wall as she had been watching the outside world through her window. She had already had tears fallen down her face, and now that her husband had finally come to see her she definitely looked ready to break down. "Ricky... I..."

He didn't wait to hastily approach her and sit at the bedside, as he then leaned over to hold her close with great concern, as he'd feared the worst possible outcome might've happened and she'd been badly injured. Yet she looked fine at first, there was no bruises or injuries to see at first glance, yet even so that didn't stop Ricky from holding her close as both relief and worry developed in his core. "Dammit Tel, Oi feared de worst when Oi 'eard yew were 'ere." He finally drew back some but kept his arms locked around her, sincere eyes cast into her own as she still looked somberly at him. "What happened? What's wrong love?"

"I wanted to tell you... I was going to once I got better... but now..." She looked down at her belly area and brought her hand over it, a soft rub over the abdomen area as she then looked to Ricky once more. "I lost it Rick. I lost our baby."

Ricky's own heart dropped as well as his jaw did too, his own hand slowly hovered over to Telion's as he layered it onto her's. He sighed as he used his other hand to bring her head towards his, the two leaned in together with foreheads rested on one another as Telion started to sob once again.

At this point the both of them had found a comfortable position to where Ricky was the one who sat against the wall, while Telion leaned against him with his arms around her as the two finally had a brief period of mourning. There was a lot of misplaced blame from each other as somehow Ricky blamed himself for not knowing anything sooner, even when there would've been little he could do to begin with to help make her pregnancy easier. While that went on Telion blamed herself because she was the one who carried the child, and granted that she was still in the early stages of development she should've known to take it a little bit easier on herself than usual. Yet even then that wasn't what should've caused her to miscarry, because there was only so much she could do to begin with while the rest of it was up to the development of the child. Yet Telion she blamed it on herself, on the fact it was her fault because it was her own body, all because it was by the grace of the Gods that she wasn't ready to bear another child.

"I'm sorry..."

"Stop it," He gave a gentle nudge to shake her for a moment, "It isn't yer fault Tel! It's not! T'ese t'ings... t'ey just 'appen y' know." He brushed her arms with his hands gently as she sighed after hearing him repeat that same sentence once more, as though what he said was by all means evidence to the contrary. He held onto his breath for a moment as he tried to think of something that would work, something that would help her feel at least a little better and see the light of reason. That's when it finally hit him, the very thing he could do to try and bring his point across. Granted he'd never thought to use it before, in fact he'd practically forgotten about it this whole time. Up until now...

He hadn't expected it to come so naturally to him either, but when Ricky brought his hand up with the palm facing them, he felt the connection to his mark strength as it glimmered upon activation. Within his palm a sudden flash appeared as a ball of light flickered about, bringing a stronger sense of hope within him as he attempted to share that same hope with Telion. "Ricky?! What in the?" She definitely seemed surprised by its sudden appearance, yet even after seeing it activated for the first time she found herself entranced by it.

"See dat? Dat lil' light? Dat be us, our future toget'er." He whispered softly in her ear. "Life's gonna be tough an' we'll be dealin' wit' some pretty hard shyke, just like we're doin' so now. Yew especially. But no matter what may happen, no matter what obstacles we come t' face, we'll pull t'rough toget'er and Oi'll always make sure t' help yew do so. Because ye've done de same fer me, an' dat's why Oi've been given dis gift 'ere." He explained hopeful that she might be feeling the same, granted that the small light before them seemed to help some. For a little while Telion remained motionless as she continued to watch the light, her expression unchanged as she remained lost in the thought she caught herself in.

For a little while the two remained quite as Telion gazed into the light, her thoughts quiet for the longest time as she kept to herself more than anything in that moment. Ricky practically found himself counting the number of times she breathed really since that was the only way he could read into her, and granted her breaths were long and deep he could guess that she started to try and come to terms with accepting the loss. Of course no such thing was easy and granted this had to be the first time she's come to miscarry a child, it no doubt had to be a bit devastating to handle deep down on the inside. He already knew good and well she practically blamed herself for it all together, which is why he tried so hard to make sure she saw things from a different perspective.

Finally she gave a short single chuckle as she brought a hand up to hover over the light, in that particular moment she hesitated before she lowered her hand. Which in turn met with the small glowing orb of light, and caused it to dissipate as her hand continued to lower down into Ricky's own hand. "You may be right..." Though it wasn't a strong indication it proved that he did well enough get it through to her, now all that remained was the idea of coming to terms with this and in turn looking forward. "Thank you Rick. I... don't know what to expect, but so long as we're together the obstacle in our future shouldn't matter." She agreed with a sigh, her head leaned back into shoulder as she rested into him.

"Dat's roi," He murmured as he grasped her hand affectionately, "no matter what happens Oi'll always be 'ere t' pick yew back up." He reassured her as they bundled up together in a more cozy form. There really wasn't any more words exchanged then as there was hardly a need, really they just spent the rest of her visit with Ricky holding her close as she fell asleep in his arms, while Ricky spent more thought on how difficult it was going to be for Telion to cope with this. In turn he figured he'd find ways to make it easier for her, to ease her pain somehow and lighten the burden on her shoulders. He knew he wasn't going to be alone in this either, as Martin would surely play in part a very important role in all of this. It was all going to happen in due time, all accordingly with Telion's ability to accept and move on from this. She was strong and both the father and child knew this, now it would time for them to show her just how strong she really was.
