Everything was falling into place, and rather quickly too. Merely a season ago, she had been lost, fumbling for anything familiar to remind her of who she was and what her purpose in life was. Thrust into a position of power that she hadn't been ready for, that she hadn't expected to receive. And yet just as quickly, everything had fallen flawlessly into place. It was unquestionable that the woman was happy -- the genuine expression on her face was unable to be doubted, even by the most cynical of creatures.. She was glad as he joined her, grinning over at him with a quick wag of her tail. It would be worth it to get a bit dirty to dig out their future home. Perhaps it would be more rewarding than simply happening along a larger one? Even still, they could easily take a dip in a stream or river and get washed up -- and the frigid ice water was a good excuse to cuddle to keep warm, once they were finished bathing. "Well, a slightly smaller family will be taking their place." He remarked, and she laughed lightly as he leaned over to grab her tail gently with his teeth. Truthfully, she was not yet thinking about the possibility of children -- she was physically ready, but mentally she was much more inclined to focus herself for awhile. Perhaps someday children would be an option, but certainly not this winter. "Isn't it?" she said in reply, another soft laugh falling from delicate lips. Maverick's mere presence delighted her -- she could hardly keep the expression off her face, even as she began to dig once more, one white-furred paw following a rusty red hued one, clawing at the dirt 'til it crumbled and gave way, then pushing it behind her and out of the way of their excavation. She was content to dig mostly in silence, not feeling terribly overwhelmed by their sudden and surprising union. They would have so many moments to talk -- days, seasons. No, years. An entire lifetime lay ahead of them both. But as she dug, minutes passing in quiet concentration, she spoke up. "I hope that the wolves of Seracia like me," she said after a moment, pausing from digging to gaze over at Maverick. Never was she typically a self-conscious woman, no, she was rather confident overall... and yet the possibility of Seracia as a whole disapproving of her was nerve-wracking. What if some young woman wanted to challenge for her position as Princess? Did the pack even work that way, like Valhalla did? What if she failed them, failed Maverick? No... she couldn't fail, not so long as he stood beside her. |
