Little sister growing up

Vail took a seat opposite him, also in front of Rhythm. He suppose she would soon be his Aunt-in-law - indeed, he would soon be gaining a lot of in-laws as his family. His own family was virtually gone, his parents, gone, his sister.. Who knew where. He would always miss Viridian, but in truth, she was just a distant memory these days. Vail was all he needed and wanted in this life.

Then of course, Rhythm would ask them for words, and Solor would still. words no one had mentioned words! He kept his breathing calm, when all he wanted to do was hyperventilate. Before he could properly panic, Vail was already speaking, and he found himself latching on to her words.

A gentle chuckle escaped him, as she told him how he was her knight against sunlight and bramble bushes. Once she finished speaking, Solor found, that perhaps he did have words in his heart, unspoken, that had been sitting there all along. “You are my Winter Rose, the mark of color and wonder in my otherwise dreary life. You are the one aspect of my world my eyes will always seek for, my heart will always yearn to see. My Winter Rose, I will gladly guard you against bramble bushes, and fight the sun for you. Your clumsiness tripped you into my heart, where you now will always remain. I love you, I love you more than a silly old man like me had ever realised a wolf can love, and I will all you mine for the rest of our lives.” his voice was soft, and he found himself leaning in, looking into the red-blue of her eyes as he spoke the words from his heart.
