Until There Is No Anything

After they discussed intentions it seemed a blanket of ease would fall over the pair of them. Natural and easy. He could smile again, even with the feeling of Dapple’s death hanging over him. Roan would have to heal quickly, he didn’t intend to allow the bear that took her to live any longer than he had to. For now he could focus on Iolaire and her acceptance of his invitation. He had no qualms eating the offered meal raw. Io hadn’t cooked for him yet either.

She picked at it at least and he could say he enjoyed it with her. He would happily eat the rest of it and as intended chew on the bone later. After his belly filled the wounded warrior was helped outside to relieve himself and as soon as he settled back onto Io’s furs he fell back asleep. After moving and eating he was out and Iolaire went about her business. He slept a lot, but he also didn’t miss a few times of the woman checking in on him.

He was never forced to leave her den, and as he stirred at her arrival. The thought of sharing the den with her didn’t bother him at all. Knowing he wouldn’t have to be alone brought peace to him. With a woman like Iolaire looking after him he knew that his time recovering would end all too quickly.
