Damian is caught in a state of breathless shock. His eyes take in Richard and Anita, and the echo of the marks between them help him to know that they are well, that Richard's arm is recovering, and that it's over.
It's over.
That single thought ricochets off the walls of his mind again and again as he holds onto Nathaniel, blindly following the wereleopard's lead. He looks down at Nathaniel while they make their way down the stairs to his coffin and the small wardrobe pushed against the wall.
"Nathaniel... Are you all right? Did I harm you?" He doesn't think to use the marks to answer his own questions, which shows how shocked he is by it all. "She... she's gone."
