Zen felt as Lithe started to shake uncontrollably in his arm.
He imagined that Lithe was inner turmoil and still struggling with the pain and hurt caused by Ash's betrayal.
Lithe struggled to control his breathing as he held unto Zen for support during this ordeal.
As a fair warning Zen gave Lithe a firm squeeze to remind him to get a hold of himself and contain his emotions.
Should Lithe freak out his vanilla scented pheromones would leak out and alert the bickering couple to their presence in the closet.
There was a niggling worry in the back of Zen's mind that instead of crying Lithe would become enraged at Ash's words and storm out of the closet to confront the bastard.
It was not the first time that Lithe acted irrational whenever his emotions ran amok.
So Zen had no idea what was running through Lithe's mind right now.
Given the nature of their current predicament, Lithe might do anything in the heat of the moment.
