when can i see you again

Iolaire had her own regrets about her past, that much was obvious in the way she spoke about the child she was. Belle didn’t think it appropriate to point out that she was little more than a pup, and had every right to believe those things. No matter how untrue Deathbelle would learn they were. She whined softly in sympathy as she told her about the murder of her brothers. The details were glossed over, but she couldn’t imagine what kind of demented soul he had to be to kill his own offspring. ”Io,” Belle breathed her name, only just stopping herself from touching the woman in front of her.

With all of the horrors Iolaire spoke about Deathbelle wondered if the good times near made up for the atrocities she suffered. ”Charming creature, indeed.” She agreed, an excited shiver racing over her skin at Io’s bright grin. Io admitted her once love, and inability to conceive. She felt a bit of Sirius well up in her chest, the Empress pulled back her teeth an growled protectively as she described his treatment of her afterwards. The thought made her sick, the sweet little healer literally thrown to ravenous wolves.. The sudden strong emotion startled her as well, did she already feel so strongly for the Armada she wolf?

She smoothed her fur, Io did not dwell on that bit of her past and Deathbelle would not either, though she did wanted to wrap the delicate woman up in her arms and promise she wouldn’t allow anything so terrible to happen to her again. She was caught up again at how strong her response was. Io made sure that she knew that she finally found a place she could call her home, with Seer and with her. Belle felt her heart thud heavily against her chest.

Silently she invited the exhausted she wolf back to her side, her heart beat nervously as she explored the emotions that Iolaire caused. Was she falling for the small woman? The thought was both frightening and exciting but would also continue to complicate her mess of a life. However much she adored said complication. ”I..” Io made her stutter like no other, it was quite the talent. ”I’m glad I... could make you feel at home.” She finished quietly, her heart near beating out of her chest now.

The dark woman’s ability to make her feel nervous was uncanny, it was a good nervous though. Her breath caught and her stomach was filled with busy butterflies. She felt light despite the heavy topics discussed. Iolaire did something to her that was hard to replicate, and Deathbelle found it hard to deny the craving.
