There Is Only Reflection

Just the act of venting was making him feel better, not to mention being doted on by a gorgeous man. He really wanted to nibble on those scrumptious ears but it probably wasn't the best time. He winced as he shifted, Eliphas asking how much pain he had. "A lot, more than I want. It's worst when I put weight on it or try to move, it's better just laying here but the painful throbbing just will not go away." In many ways it was like insult to injury. He couldn't very well patrol the borders limping along like he was. Outside threats might see his limp and think the pack was vulnerable. Which in some ways it was while the wolves recovered from their injuries. He knew it would take awhile to heal.

Eliphas laid a gentle kiss upon him before further examining his wound. As that graceful head bowed to look further at his paw, Aureus leaned forward, seeking to gently lick the top of Eliphas' head. "I've missed you too. Have you been well? Surely better than me, I hope." He chuckled.
