I Just Want to Fly
The gentle nuzzle against her scruff gave her the comfort she was looking for, but not all of it. She still felt worried for his mothers, his brothers, and for him. She really needed to know if he was doing okay, and if she could help in any way possible. Having him depressed and sad all the time would break her heart all over again. But to her relief, he explained that his family members often wandered off, and that he had a good reason to stay. Was she his reason? Being the broad-headed girl she was, she pondered on the thought for a bit. However it dissipated within minutes as her friend began to speak once more. "You help me so much by being here," She moved her head so she could look at him, and she smiled, her tail slowly wavering back and forth behind her. That was her line. Tiburtius was all she had left right now. Her mother and father were gone, she lacked close siblings, and her friends were scattered like stars. He kept her stationed here in Fiori, which was a home to her distant friends but not family, even though she'd do anything to be with Aslan and his mother. But...over all, Tiburtius was her first priority. She loved him and she would never make the mistake of trying to leave again. Well...not without him. Arivae huffed and leaned her head into his, shutting her eyes and thinking about the way his mothers sparkled whenever she met them together. She hasn't seen them lately, with everything going on...they must be dull, blank. How horrible. "Your mothers are really amazing, especially when they're together." She explained with a gentle smile, kissing his nose. "I can tell they share something extraordinary. I'm sure they'll be fine, as long as they have each other." She finished. She wasn't sure that was she said was necessarily true, but she was 99% sure that was the case. They did raise all four of the boys together, after all. Arivae laughed quietly. She wondered how they bonded as pups. Maybe they were so wonderful and sweet because they had two mothers instead of the usual married couple? Arivae rolled her shoulders forward and slipped her head back beneath his chin, her tail swaying back and forth. "Hey...thank you so much for being there for me. I don't know what I'd do without you." She whispered, pressing herself closer to him, searching for the comfort of his warmth. "Talk" "You" Think |
