can we hurt together

Iroh wanted to distract her from her loss and chase away her loneliness. Her smile did his heart good and her closeness grounded him. With so much uncertainty it felt good to think that they could be certain in each other. She held tightly to him as well, and as he breathed in the scent of her soft fur she placed a few grooming kisses upon his dark head. She spoke of her familiarity of his form, many others shared his markings in her pack. He shouldn’t be surprised to hear about more Abraxas in te world, and he wondered if it was Archon she spoke of. Pyrrhic hadn’t much mentioned him, and Iroh didn’t have much of an opinion on him but Malleus had been unhappy with him.

”My mother wouldn’t lay with another Abraxas,” he told her confidently. That wasn’t the way of god. His words were soft, he didn’t want to discourage her suggestions. She yawned and nuzzled into his fur. ”I think I would like that.” He agreed, finding an odd nervousness in his gut about finding his father. He smiled as he made herself even more comfortable wrapped up in his arms. ”Go to sleep, Banshee.” Iroh enjoyed having her name on his lips. ”I’ll keep watch.” He assured her, nuzzling her cheek once more.
