Remember Me, Remember You

Akemi blinked, surprise as she heard a voice. It was both familiar and yet... As she turned her head to look at the male, there was a look of confusion within her gaze. Who... Who was he? But Tiny knew immediately who the black and white furred male was, and with a delighted squeak he started to bounced up and down upon Akemi’s head. “Mama it’s papa! It’s papa!” The little creature scurried towards the end of the female’s muzzle, not that it was very far, as he looked upon Ravine with his beady black eyes.

“Papa! Mama had an accident! She was hunting... She doesn’t remember anything!” He squeaked out, hoping the man might be able to piece what had happened from that. Akemi’s single red orb was still fixed upon him, slowly edging closer to the brute. She looked at him both with wonder and a sense of sadness... Why did he look so hurt? How long had she been gone?

“This is your papa, huh Tiny?” She whispered softly, gazing into Ravine’s blue orbs. “I’m sorry... According to Tiny I suffered a blow to my head while hunting. I got rather lost... But he has helped me come back here.” She furrowed her brow a bit deeper. “Everything’s so fuzzy but... I...” His name... “R-Ravine...?” She asked softly, and though she didn’t quite grasp what caused the tears to form yet they began to appear in her eye.

“You... You’re my... Oh Ravine I’m so sorry...” There seemed to be a spark of recognition in her eyes now as she let her gaze linger upon him. He had been the key to spark some of her memories back in place. Tiny remained quiet for now, looking from his mother to his father, whiskers twitching. Would Ravine understand? Would he accept Akemi again?
