What Happened?

She quickly followed him, all the way to his den. She would always do so, because she'd always be there for him, and with zero hesitation. So when he hopped up on the stone covering, she hopped up too, laying down next to him and leaning her weight against his side in a gesture to say that he wasn't alone. She waited for him to speak, patient; she knew whatever he remembered wasn't good. Not... not if it had that sort of reaction. She grimaced a little before he started speaking, sympathy and her own pain at seeing the ones she cared for hurting already in her eyes.
When he started speaking, it only grew, and she wordless pressed her muzzle into his neck. Ah. Yes. It was one of the few things that made Vali angry, ever, and once again she felt the hot flash of anger resonating through her body. Once again, she was struck with thoughts of violence, and wondering how on earth anyone could ever betray someone they loved to that extent. Or... how someone could have even pretended to love that much, because how can one care so much and yet... do that? It was unfathomable to Vali.
She moved her muzzle from his neck to rest it on top of his paws. She truthfully didn't know what to say. To remember the emotions he had back then, when he was with his former mate - another flash of anger - and his children when they were born. When they were born... an idea pricked in her mind, and she lifted her head to nose at Bass. "Spend time with these puppies. Replace the bad memories with her," her voice dropped to a near growl then, "with Storm's pups. Use their love. Be their 'father' figure, since they have no father. And remember the happiness you felt, without the pain." The words were whispered, were quiet, with a hint of her own wistful sorrow in them, but also a fierceness too.
