What goes up..

No matter what could be said about Kai, no one could say he wasn't an honest man - especially when it came to those dear to him. He wasn't the type to hide how he felt about anything, and he'd never lie to Tyranis - he couldn't imagine being anything but honest. He couldn't help but wonder if Ty felt quite the same.. for all the time they'd known each other, somehow they'd avoided really discussing the terms of their relationship. But the question burned on his tongue and he couldn't help but ask, pulling back slightly to eye him and listen carefully to his words.

He began to explain, slowly at first, and he couldn't help but notice that he looked uncomfortable all the while. They'd met in Winter, during Ty's struggles, when his children had been stolen. He'd had another litter - with her. He felt his heart soar with delight at the news, though he held his tongue and let Ty speak, as curious about her reaction as he was eager to share his own. She was his mate - and likely lived here with him now, based on his words.

If it was jealousy or anger he anticipated on his behalf, he'd definitely misjudged Kai. He couldn't help but feel his lips quirk into a slow grin at Ty's words. Had they ever really admitted their love out loud? Said that they truly loved one another? Kai was used to displaying his feelings physically rather than verbally, but he felt his heart flutter in his chest at the admission. Perhaps words were useful, once in awhile. "And I love you, Tyranis," he breathed, his grin remaining despite his effort to dampen his expression.

The way he transitioned from answering his question into a declaration of love told Kai all he needed to know. His heart was torn - but it didn't need to be - and the way he suddenly held him tight was as if he feared Kai might slip away from him was obvious. Kai relaxed into his touch, feeling his heart beating loud, ringing in his ears. "And.. it sounds like you love her, too," he suggested, finally pulling slightly away from him. His gaze was probing, but mostly just curious, and that faint smile threatened to return. "You're allowed to have both, you know. Love.. it isn't some.. finite resource. It isn't lessened simply because you're giving it to someone else. Perhaps that only makes it grow," he assured him, leaning to nip a little roughly at his chest. Kai seemed far from upset - if anything the honesty seemed as though it had sparked a fire within him.

He'd been raised to think of love, and companionship, in a far more free-spirited way than most wolves in this land tended to.. and for a moment he wondered if Ty could really grasp what he was saying. "Does she know about me? I wouldn't mind meeting her. And these kids of yours," he added, though his voice had a touch of wariness to it. Perhaps he was being too forward? He didn't know this Paradise and couldn't begin to imagine how she would feel of her so-called mate stealing off in the night with him, let alone how she'd view her children meeting a man who had little respect for their pack's borders. He reminded himself that he was definitely trespassing, and that his presence here might not be quite as welcomed as he hoped. He had to remember that. "If.. that's what you want. If you truly want to spend eternity with me," Kai teased in a more wicked tone, letting a chuckle fall from his lips.
