Ara adjusted her position as best as she could, content to spend a long moment gazing into Novel's eyes. Even after being apart for years, falling back into her love with her had felt effortless - and truthfully Ara wasn't sure she'd ever fallen out of love with her to begin with. Despite all they had gone through she had already decided she'd live her life a thousand times over, if only it meant seeing Novel for the rest of time. However, she knew they were talking about the somber truth of reality now, rather than whimsical fancies. She was comforted by her mate's admission and nodded slowly, understanding. "I'm glad you agree," Ara said quietly. If Novel pressed her to live the rest of her natural days even after she had passed, Novel would do just that, no matter how hard the burden of grief was to carry.. but she understood, and said she'd do the same. She breathed a quiet sigh of relief, feeling tears prick at her eyes that she'd been struggling to hold back, finding it much harder now. Being strong for Novel always seemed so important to her, but then all at once it felt like too much to bear, and she breathed a quiet sob as she felt the tears fall. "Let's rest here for awhile, my love," she suggested, shifting yet again to curl her head against Novel's side and bury her nose in her fur, focusing on the scent of budding plants that enveloped them, washed over them by the warm spring winds. - exit Ara via sleep?- |
