He was soothed almost immediately by her words, cradling her gently in his paws as he kissed her crown. “It’s alright, my love. I’m sorry, I know how much remembering about your queen can be painful.” He said, remembering the panic attacks she had had when she had first joined. She hadn’t had one of those for a long time, actually, had she? He must be good for her. He rocked her gently, as if she were a child, and nuzzled his nose into her cheek.

She looked tired, and he realised he must have worn her out. “Sleep, dear heart. I have you, you're safe in my arms.” He promised her. His voice full of love and affection. “We can talk when you're awake, if you wish.”

Ignita felt his demeanor soften as he was immediately soothed and couldn't help but wonder if what she had said was true. The words had just fallen out of her mouth as a form of excuse without truly thinking. She was dazed as he kissed the crown of her head, unsure now of what had actually happened just now.

She had distressed him somehow. She laid her head over his shoulder while he rocked her. The movement soothing to her worn overworked mind. She closed her eyes as she felt his warm arms around her. It was already late in the day and the puppies would be coming soon to settle in for bed. Might as well catch some shut-eye before they start the evening routine. She tucked her nose into his arm and quickly fell asleep without another word, too fatigued to mention much of anything else.
