can we hurt together

”No, I shouldn’t have fallen asleep,” he assured her as he watched her lashes flutter over bright blue eyes. She could wake him up ten more times and he was sure he wouldn’t be upset. She returned his affections, nuzzling him softly before the both of them made it to their paws.

Banshee seemed as uncomfortable with the distance as he did, she bumped her shoulder against him and he leaned back towards her. Iroh couldn’t help but to keep a smile while he was around her. He’d mostly forgotten about anything but her until she mentioned returning home. ”Yeah, I’ll.. I’ll be alright.” There was a lot of uncertainty in his life, but he knew somehow that he’d pull through.

He aimed to reach over and nuzzle into her scruff assuredly as she made sure he knew that she was willing to revisit him as long as he called for her. Iroh felt his own dark features grow flush. ”Yeah, I’ll make sure to remember.” He didn’t want to bother her, but even the though of having her presence whenever he asked.. The thought led to having her beside him always. It was a bit too much so he tried to steer himself in a different direction. ”Maybe we can spar when you’re feeling better.”
