Give Me Everything Tonight

A gentle and warming smile appeared on Thane's maw as she said that she would like to join Valhalla. Then apologizing for the painful memories that her story had brought up. He sat there...taking in each word and listened to her patiently still. She then said she needed to start over, and said that this would be the best place to do it. His warming and calm smile never ceased as he looked at her. Then she said something about horrid memories her sister had told her.

Sympathy was what was in the brute's aqua blue eyes. His gaze softened as he looked back at Kai. Thane sat there contemplating his words before he spoke.

"If I got a second chance I'm sure you can. Personally, when I got here a year or two ago I was all alone with no family. All of them dead; but then I met a beautiful dame one night...that changed everything" he said with a smile

"And look at me now. I have a beloved mate, three children. And a new rank so that I may contribute my time and myself to Valhalla. I'm sure that you will prosper Kai...so i welcome you to Valhalla." he said with a smile and the wag of his tail.

Thane then thought for a few more moments before speaking again.

"You know...I've learned that it isn't bad to accept what has happened and move on. In a way it all makes us stronger and we learn from it. I myself am wise beyond my years if I may say so." he said with a small chuckle.

"But I hope you'll be happy here as I am and many others. You're a part of our family now...so I welcome you as if you were a lost family member." he said before lightly reaching over and touching his nose to her shoulder in a friendly gesture before withdrawing.

Thane then stood up and took two steps into the border before turning around and giving Kai a smile.

"Are you ready to come home Kai?" he asked in a friendly tone with his never ceasing smile.

Thane's aqua blue eyes were bright with joy and happiness for Kai. He was happy that she was happy. And Thane loved it when others were happy. Maybe on his way home he would catch his children something new to try. Maybe they should have their first taste of a mouse. White lined ears perked up as it began to snow. The white flakes landed on his black pelt as it felt.

The male loved winter, this was as close to his first home as it would ever be. But this place now was truly his home...and he loved it here with all his heart.
