Where It All Started
Just knowing that big smile was on his face because of her was enough to make Solveiga grin from ear to ear too. His happiness was contagious, and so was the passion he had for his beloved pack. When he spoke of Kalliope perhaps needing some friends, Solveiga didn't hesitate for even a second. She quickly nodded, making a mental note to seek the woman out. By the sounds of things, the two of them would get along well. If all else failed, the two could bond over healing. "Well then, I'll have to find her and get to know her," Solveiga said.
But it was Regulus's next words that really took her by surprise. Of course he would be sweet and complimentary. That was just his way. But somehow the little healer could tell that his words were sincere, and he really did believe that she would be a wonderful mother someday. And that... that really touched her. Solveiga wasn't exactly used to others having confidence in her like that. "Thank you..." she whispered, looking down at her paws as if that would help her hide the fact that she was smiling. "But it... it may never happen. It takes two to make a family, after all, and look at me. You're my closest friend, Regulus, I'm not exactly the most social type. I may never find someone to create a family with me." She shrugged her little shoulders in what was probably a failed attempt to appear casual and unaffected by this. She might end up alone forever. She could handle that, right? Or maybe not.
The cream colored woman cleared her throat as her eyes found the ground again, but after another moment she looked back up, her features composed once more. And of course there was no way to keep from giggling as Regulus poked fun at himself. "You? Sneaking around? Now that would be an entertaining sight..." Solveiga laughed. |
