give me forever for a while[PACK CHALLENGE]

The petite woman felt as though she were on pins and needles during the entire fight. She had very little experience with these sorts of things, so as she watched it was very hard for her to tell who had the upper hand. But then, almost as quickly as it had begun, it was all over and the winner became clear. The opponent fell away, leaving Regulus victorious, and Solveiga couldn't fight back the grin that came to her face. She waved her cream colored tail high in the air as her chest swelled with even more pride. He had done it. He had won, and had secured a safe future for Celestial in the process. Heavens above, she was proud of him. She wanted to leap for joy, hug him and congratulate him.

But, apparently, he had the same idea.

Their eyes met, and hers widened as he closed the distance between them. He came to her before anyone else, and he embraced her. She was so touched by the gesture that she didn't care in the slightest that he was dirtied by blood and grime. She melted into the embrace, closed her eyes and smiled. Her eyes were filled with more light than before, and she watched him as he pulled away and addressed the others. When again Regulus looked down at the little healer, her heart did a strange little flip at his words. Home.
He wanted her to come home.

Solveiga liked the sound of that, but at the moment it was too soon. She still hadn't given herself the proper time to grieve and return to her old self again. Or whatever self she was going to be after all of this. So she looked up into those sapphire eyes and smiled a bit, saying, "I'll be there soon. Get lots of rest, Regulus, you were amazing today." Then, after a nod at the others, she walked back in the direction she had come. Not quite the direction of Celestial. But she'd be on her way home soon enough.
