Prologue (Pt.2)

Her answer was much like it had been before. And it brought the same warmth to his soul that it had before. Their prior meeting had been a wonderful one. But it had been disrupted by the events that had surrounded them. Things where different now. They where both older, stronger, wiser. They would not be so easily disrupted this time around. When she embraced him though, those three words would fall from her lips. They didn't surprise him. He'd known. He'd known sense the first time they had met really. She was an individual much like him. He could remember the words he'd used. She'd been lost, like him. And there was still company to be found even when you where lost. It was found in those who where lost with you. They where still the same in that they had finally found themselves after so long. It had taken both of them a really long time to do so. But better late than never.

As she embraced him, he would simply reply with two soft words. "I know." That was all he needed to say. He felt the same. Deep down in his chest, behind all the reservations and caution, it was there. It was always difficult for him to say such things aloud, though this was partly in do to the fact that Newol had always been a physical creature. Words didn't exist any any dialect to properly explain his emotions. Allowing her her moment's embrace. But the brute had waited and lost enough. He wasn't going to waste any more time this time around. Stepping back from her, he would look her in the eyes with a very particular look. His eyes shining in the dim light, the corners of his maw held up ever so faintly in a passionate, serious smile. He stood before her, chest broad, head high. Standing in a way as to show off the well defined muscles in his shoulders and legs. No trace of fat to be found under his shorter, finer fur. His pelt was actually quite short in comparison to her. Do very likely to his desert upbringing. He met her gaze in a manor as to make his intent plainly known. If she was not in agreement, of course she merely had to say so. He would not force himself should she be unwilling.

Stepping forward, he would press his nose against hers, green gaze not leaving her amber eyes for a moment. as he pressed his lips to hers. His movements where slow, fluid, and direct. Showing no hesitation or second thoughts. All he'd ever wanted in the first place, oh so long ago, was this. Someone to stand beside him. Someone to share his life and his world with. Someone to weather the world along side. He'd gotten that in the way of his family, be this was something much more direct. This was a matter of sharing your soul with someone. Both of them had been here once before, but that had only been a fleeting moment of young passion. This was something much, much different.

Stepping into her, he would press his chest against hers, pressing his snout into the top of her neck, taking another deep breath of her scent as he placed his paw once again atop hers. Savoring the feel of her long, fluffy fur under his touch. She was warm to the touch in this colder cave. They where more than safe from the elements, but the Sun's warmth was to be found down here. He would lift his head and lick one of her ears as he waited for her signal to continue.
