what id give to not be alone

Sipping at her tea, ears perked as Belle asked her for a distraction. Good news. Hmm... "Well, spring is almost here. Roan and I will be leaving for a season." To her, this was great news. She was determined to get to the bottom of this fertility business. Hopefully, by the time they returned him, Iolaire would be pregnant. Though she wouldn't be terribly unhappy to keep trying until they were successful. Roan was eager to please and she was just as eager to please in return.

"The snow will be gone soon. Travel will be easier once more. Maybe you should take a vacation. Give Venom a test run of handling things while you're gone." Her young pups were weaned and could be watched by another while Deathbelle was away. If she wanted to wait until summer, Io would watch them herself while Belle took a breather. She suggested as much. "I can watch them for a time when Roan and I get back. It'll be good practice for me, eh?" The smaller woman grinned. Her paw still rested upon that of her friend and hadn't left the whole time.
