How does it stop? Xion was so often like a child, not understanding the most basic things and like a child, sometimes her questions cut.

He looked at her gently. "I'll try... I can't promise, but I'll try and stop it from hurting you, I don't know how... this bond between us. I don't know how it works exactly but if I control how I'm feeling, you may feel it less."

Because as much as he wanted to let the sadness swallow him, he couldn't do that to her. It wasn't something she should feel, the pain of a kirin without their king.
