N was crying.
He didn't know why, but there he was, the pale, green fur of his muzzle soaked with tears as he silently wept. He was happy Zekrom was sleeping so he wouldn't have to see. He felt so fragile, so confused and frustrated, he just didn't know what to do with himself. First had come the insomnia. Then he'd left home. And since then, he felt every part of him aching to stop. His mind dulled, he felt it harder to complete simple equations every day. His fur was unkempt, his eyes were dull with exhaustion, his paws ached. But the worst thing of all, he didn't know why. He panicked when he didn't know something, couldn't work something out through numbers and logic, and now he was especially bothered by it. Was it because he was alone? Because he was without a proper place to sleep at night, without someone to guide him to one such place? He'd always been a loner. He'd always been homeless. His father had been abusive, after all, and his mother... Who was to say where she was, or ever had been. He had his sisters for a while, but they disappeared. He'd always really been alone. Why did it bother him now?
He hurt from crying, and the tears subsided. Relieved, he rubbed the drops from his eyes and attempted to clean up his face. The unusually coloured fox looked so ragged. His fur had always been a little messy, but he didn't like it this bad. Taking off the black and white baseball cap he always sported, he tiredly cleaned himself up, then sat next to the dozing dragonling, placing the hat snugly back on his head. Weary eyes turned to the sky, which was still bright and blue. He saw the clouds rolling in, though. He approximated it'd be three hours until rain started coming down.
It was probably for the better if he didn't realize he'd miscounted.
