He wondered if maybe he had over reacted.

A small wince crossed the young god's face as he curled up at the base of the large tree he had been calling home for the past few days, gingerly pulling his injured arm onto his lap. He would've felt a great deal more at ease higher up in the branches, but he lacked both the power and the motivation to

Horus gave another small yelp when he was jerked off balance. He stumbled back into the older god, turned, and lashed out with his free arm, gritting his teeth as the injury practically screamed in protest.

"Leave me alone!" he snapped, attempted to quickly twist out of Apollo's grip.
