Thunderstorm Thunderstorm Go Away

Zee remained settled beside him, and no longer responded to the storm raging outside the walls of his den. He had achieved.. whatever it was he had sought to by bringing her here and burying her in coat and company.

He wasn’t sure what changes this might bring to their friendship, or the hardships it might lead him to. As he had said, it was enough for the moment that she was here and safe, he could make no guarantees for the future.

“Good night, little one” The titan said softly, and listened to the sound of her breathing as it soothed and slipped into the patterns of sleep. He lay awake for a long time, unaccustomed to the presence of another so close to him, and the fear that he would roll onto the smaller wolf. He still dreamed occasionally of the attack that had almost killed him, and had thrashed in his sleep more then once as the dream overtook him.

Instead, he stayed awake the entire night, and in the very early hours of morning, long before the first rays of the sun could touch him he rose as quietly as he was able. He moved the coat so it covered her in the places they had touched, so they would not chill in his absence. With that, he left the den and made his way into a world that was no longer ravaged by storms.
