once upon a dream

Iolaire returned her affection with a gentle nuzzle and a shy kiss on her cheek. Deathbelle’s lilac gaze sparkled with love for the tiny woman. She knew that she would forever have a special place with her. Maybe they couldn’t be the others one and only but their love would be forever. Io was obviously happy with her Roan, and that fact helped her to be happy with their arrangement. The Armada healer was happy to see her, knowing the both of them were busy with the coming of the next season. Deathbelle had her young children and Io had to preserve her medicines and plants for the dead season.

Io continued her work and Belle wouldn’t be offended, the Empress easily made herself at home and got comfortable in a corner with a few furs. ”I’ll remember to bother you more often.” She chuckled and offered her sweet friend an amused wink. ”Well enough, every litter has its complications. I think Chimera and Siren have vision issues.” Admitting that her children were not perfect was difficult, but Deathbelle had never been one to shy away from the truth no matter the difficulty. ”Beyond physically being able to see as well. Siren says she sees auras. And Chimera…” She wasn’t sure about the boy, he wasn’t very open with her. Of the three he was the most distant, and she wondered if she had done something wrong during his short life. ”I worry about him.” She looked away from Io, not that the woman’s gold green eyes would be on her anyway.
