Absolution

Iolaire grinned and eagerly took the offer of close proximity. With little prompting Io returned to Deathbelle’s side, but offered a warning instead of agreement. Belle smiled in return, knowing she was right, not that she didn’t wish she could keep Io in their secret retreat forever. She wasn’t sure she could get bored of their time together. The Klein Empress purred softly as Io’s teeth grazed her chin teasingly. She apologized for upsetting her, she hadn’t intentionally meant to cause strife.

”The worry made it clear how much you mean to me.” Deathbelle nuzzled the tiny woman in return, shifting to place a paw over Iolaire’s snowy toes. ”There isn’t much I wouldn’t do for you.” Belle admitted softly as she nibbled her lover’s ear. Her heart beat heavily at her chest, but it wasn’t out of worry and anxiety anymore. Deathbelle relaxed against Io’s tiny form, Io made easy the path to peace. Something the Empress had precious little of.
