Summary
Stolas awoke to a sharp cramping sensation that flared at his lower abdomen and radiated to his lower back. A pain he had known intimately for the past three days.
A groan pulled itself from the back of his throat, running a tired hand down the side of his face. Another pointless attempt at sleep, the exhaustion clinging to his bones as he pried himself from the bed.
He could already feel the irritation seeping into his very being, emotions running high, he felt all out of whack, frustrated and confused as to why exactly he was feeling that way.
He was hurt, devastated by how things had ended with Blitzo, unsure of how to move on. Terrified that he would never be able to.
But
The frustration he had been feeling was bubbling up from somewhere else, over little things in everyday life.
Perhaps he was just at his wits end.

Summary
Things had been improving. Which of course means that due to the fundamentals of all the fuckery in Blitzo life, that meant it had to come to a screeching fucking halt at some point and he felt that point was soon.
It’s a pity that whenever the cogs of normalcy stop spinning, he ends up taking everyone down with him. Intentionally or not.
After the trial, after watching as Stolas’s heart was wrenched from his chest and obliterated in front of everyone. After seeing his relationship with his daughter crumble to nothing.
Well, the open love and compassion Blitzo had bottled up for years came pouring out of him, the intensity of it nearly drowning himself and Stolas in the process. He was worried that the last drops of it would be spilt and he’d revert back to his old bitter self.
That never happened, what did happen however was the overwhelming anxiety and protectiveness culminated into an ugly kind of stress that began to weigh on him. Every little oddity coming from the owl, every sign that screamed Stolas was not coping had him on high alert.
It was setting the both of them on edge.
