Fairy Dust

The moon dusted woman couldn't detect the worry that lingered in Gaios' mind. He sounded genuine in his acceptance of her company and she felt herself smile and flush. The dim moonlight kept the redness of her cheeks from showing through. He might have been worried about keeping her safe but she felt like she could take care of herself. She may have been a captive most of her life but that didn't mean she hadn't picked up on a few things. Tongues were looser when the ones around you weren't worth much more than the dirt they rested on. Though she'd only mock sparred with her fellow walking-wombs she had a confidence in her that surpassed much experience. 

She took up her complicated step once again, vaguely remembering her mother teaching her as a small pup. Much of the memories of the she wolf were gone from her now, but those steps were of muscle memory. Vira felt like she might never forget that lesson. Her eyes lit up as Gaios continued to follow her lead, she smile playfully as her breath continued to come with more difficulty. Her partner would feel the same strain but she couldn't bring herself to stop. 

"I'd like to see them all," She answered his offer to show her the land he had been born to. "You know I haven't been able to travel near as much as you have in my life, I'm looking forward to the adventure." She'd continue breathlessly as she danced on.
