Plague nodded and smiled softly as Void spoke of his siblings being shy, but similarly determined. His assumption that Void's family was more even keeled and subdued than his own seemed to be on the right track - though he wasn't surprised. He actually appreciated the juxtaposition. He had already experienced how much balance Void brought to his life so he could only hope that he would be able to continue feeding off of that energy. At one point in his life he would have thought of this softer side of himself, the side that can admit to loving someone and dedicating himself to them, as weak. Void completely turned that around for him and showed him that was actually one of his biggest strengths. He had no doubt that anyone related to the kind hearted, genuine wolf beside him would be sweet. He just hoped that they would welcoming to him in the end. He knew that his ultimate goal was to have Void join him and his family, but he wanted to he a part of their family as well. Anyone that meant this much to the man he loved clearly deserved his time and attention as well. When the Destruction man mentioned his hope that they would find happiness as well, Plague brought his gaze over to Void's again, adoration shining through in his eyes and smile. "All I can ever hope for is to make you happy." He brushed his side against Void's for a moment, pressing his cheek into the man's neck affectionately. It was a simple wish, but nothing brought him more joy than to know that the starry sky man was happy in his presence. They continued to make their way toward the camp slowly, both of them seemingly to be in no rush to make it to where they would spend the night. Every minute together felt precious and the thought of wasting them sleeping seemed like a disservice to those rare, wonderful moments together. Another thought crossed his mind as his mind continued to wander across their futures together. His life with his family and Ashen would intersect with his life with Void sooner or later so he felt like he wanted to include him in his decisions for everything he did with them as well. "When I get back to Ashen," he began, bringing his emerald eyes back to Void again, "I plan on challenging for one of the top ranks in the pack. It's something I've been training to accomplish for a long time, but... I think now is the right time." He smiled faintly, feeling proud in his decision, but wanting deeply to make Void proud as well. He knew he had to do everything he could to make his mark in Ashen and carve out a place for both of them there and this felt like the perfect way to do just that. |
