A gentle chuckle would rumble past their dark lips. "That sounds perfect." They said, continuing their onslaught of affection upon her face. Her responding giggles and broad grins brought more light into their den than the sun could have ever dreamt to. It was only once they dared to cease that she spoke again. "Sometimes," she began hesitantly, her eyes not finding theirs. Concern bubbled up in their chest. If they hadn't known her so well by now, they might have missed the ever so slight change in her smile. "it just doesn't work out that way."

Once she was on the move, the giant trailed slowly behind her. The amethyst doll was much slower on her feet lately. Kaine assumed it was because she would be ready to give birth fairly soon. That prospect always brought them excitement. Right now, there was no time for gazing into the future. Something was bothering their lover, and they wouldn't rest until they discovered what it was.

"What do you mean, my love?" They questioned softly, keeping pace by her side. They remained on the flank which had been the most unsteady beforehand, worried that she might still be off balance. Concern knitted their brows, fretful gaze seeking comfort in her familiar visage.
