took our love and filled it up with novocaine [agria]

The soft hymn ended just as quietly as it began. It was remarkable that Kaine even remembered them. It had been so long since the elder clan members had mumbled them under their breath to the pups. Their own mother might have sung to them all, but Kaine didn't remember that. Not a second later, their lover stirred. Stretched her aching spine, wordlessly lamented her irritation. The beast lifted their chiseled crown, gazing down at her as she awoke. "What are you doin?" she questioned dubiously.

There was no answer for that which the little pixie would not mock. They went for the truth. "I was singing a lullaby to the children, my love." they rumbled softly, gaze downcast. Was that embarrassment making their cheeks burn? Why, yes it was. "An old lullaby that my family would sing from time to time, to the very young. Does it bother you?" They were worried that their ministrations were overwhelming to the little pixie. Did she have regrets? Was she uncomfortable seeing this side of them? Fallen One, she probably did. Kaine, you fool.
