How could he have ever guessed that he and Silent would find one other again? Not in a thousand years would he have expected such an outcome. Always had he envisioned dying at her side, surrounded by her comforting presence; but never had he thought it'd be an actuality. Now he found himself slightly stunned, confused as to how she would fit into his life again. The last time they had reunited, he had changed everything instantaneously to be by her side -- but he had slipped off in the middle of the night, abandoning her and Alione for fears that he would grow distant, even angry around them. The mere possibility of growing violent around the woman he loved the most had been unbearable, and so he had fled, never once looking back. She leaned in to sniff his pelt, and he took the opportunity to inhale some of her own scent. How deliciously familiar it was, so soothing to his tired soul. If only the afterlife consisted of nothing but soft black fur and Silent's sweet aroma, he would be a content man. She spoke then -- implying it was a good morning indeed -- and he couldn't stop the grin that threatened to engulf his normally serious features. It was then that she pulled herself away from him and fully upright, gazing down the beach. With a soft huff, he rolled over and pulled himself onto all fours beside her. The beach was certainly a beautiful sight in the summer, despite the frigid cold air. "I suppose I could eat," he mused softly. His voice was deep and serious -- he was not a small male, and he often ate more than her to maintain his bulky size. Luckily, his muscles had not yet begun to fully degenerate. He felt fatigued much more often than he had seasons ago, but he supposed that was the normal progression of things. "What were you thinking we eat today, Silent?" There was still the elephant in the room, the untouched territory between them -- they were not yet mates, no, simply lovers who had been reunited. Still he resided in Seracia, and she was merely a rogue -- and he was unwilling to take her there quite yet. He still found himself caring for Loccian as she returned to her former self, though he'd been slacking quite a bit on the mental care side of things. Ah well, there was only so much he could do, and had the patience and sanity for, and catering to the emotional needs of two women was not something he was able to do. |
