Forgiveness in a Small Package

He accepted her touch and even went so far as to embrace her in return. The tension and pain within Iolaire lessened at that. It seemed as though he forgave her. For their argument, at least. The giant spoke and Iolaire sighed softly into his ruff. She pulled back and looked to his face, her gold and green eyes hiding nothing. "She needed me, Sirius. Honestly needed me." The woman gave a shake of her skull. "She was so sad that night. I offered her companionship but she needed something more. In the morning, she was changed. She smiled. Genuinely smiled. A weight had been lifted from her." How could she explain that she hadn't done it to hurt him? It hadn't even been her plan. Again she would apologize. "I'm sorry if this hurts you, but I'm not sorry for what I did. She's... something special. I'm glad that I could be the one to help her begin to live again." She was also glad that she had been the one and Belle hadn't been thrust into the arms of some lustful brute. Io knew how it was sometimes when you felt that itch. Any hole in a pinch, as they said.

Pulling back from Sirius, Iolaire sighed and kneaded the area between her brows. She hadn't been sleeping again and it was beginning to show. The woman was a little thinner. Her eyes held a strange glaze. When the whites showed, they were bloodshot. Like him, she wasn't a fan of sleeping droughts and so she rarely took anything for her insomnia. She would live though. Always did.

"How is your leg feeling?" If he had been resting, it shouldn't take him terribly long to heal. At least to heal enough to walk upon the leg. The bone would not be back to its rightful strength for some time and he would have to take care not to injure it further. Nosing into her pack, she brought him a gift. On her way to him, she'd happened upon a pair of sparring rabbits. Both of which were now dead and waiting to be eaten. Placing the larger of the rabbits before him, she took the second and placed it between her own front paws though, at the moment she'd rather use it as a pillow than eat it.
