Second chances

Solaris could tell that his reply was disappointing to the smaller woman. He hadn't really expected anything less, but it still saddened him to see her worried and disappointed like this. He hardly knew this woman, but he was all too familiar with heartache and sadness. Solaris had been through his fair share in the past few years. First his twin's disappearance and then the rest of his family, Serefina's death, Lillian's death... He had been through just about as much heartache as he could stand. He felt a bit better though when he noticed the small smile that touched her face. Perhaps he could brighten her day a bit then and distract her from the worries that were bothering her for a while. It seemed like they both needed a bit of company. To her question he motioned with his muzzle to the direction off to his right where he had just come from. "Over that direction a short ways. They're napping so I figured it was as good a time as any to explore this area a bit and catch my breath." It was hard to describe how tiring it was to keep up with three pups on his own. He had always been very much the introvert, keeping to himself and spending lots of time with his own thoughts. Having a mate and children to spend all of his time with had never been something he had really considered doing until it happened. Now he had three voices constantly around and crowding out his own thoughts. |
