I got this feeling that I can't go back

Elise listened quietly as he explained his reasons for staying despite everything that had happened and how he felt about it. Deep down, she fully understood. Family had always been the priority in everything her parents taught her and it had been one of the things that had attracted her to Iroh in the first place. In that regard they were very similar. Even though all of her siblings had scattered to the wind long ago and her parents had passed away so she didn't currently have any ties of her own to speak of, but she knew that if any of her siblings ever showed up she would do anything to help support them in anyway they needed. But... at the same time, she also had limits. If she did that again and again only to not have her efforts appreciated or get any kind of thanks in return, she probably would reach the end of her rope - family or not.

She smiled softly and brought her muzzle to his to give him a gentle kiss. "I understand... But... whatever you decide to do, whether its now, in the future, or otherwise, I'll support whatever you decide to do. My family might be gone now, but... You're my family now. I just want you to be happy." Whether his happiness kept them here or took them somewhere else, she didn't care either way. She would eventually figure out a way to be content with whatever life he chose for them. She had never thought that she would dedicate her life to one wolf like she had done for Iroh, but she had to regrets over the decision. he made her feel loved and cared for - what else could she ask for?

Elise brought her lips to his again, but didn't slip away right away this time, instead lingering in the affection and letting her eyes close as she pressed deeper into their kiss with a contented murr. It didn't seem to matter how many kisses they shared, they still made her heart flutter in her chest every time. She couldn't get over how obsessed she was with this man and still couldn't quite believe that he was hers. After several long moments of letting that single kiss develop into several more and eventually into making out with her mate, her forelegs slipped away from his neck so that her paws could follow the line of his shoulders and chest, savoring all of him as she was thinking to herself how grateful she was to have been chosen to be his. She blinked her eyes open once more as their lips parted again, finding his gaze with a grin that pulled at her lips. "I love you," she breathed quietly, throughly enjoying this quiet time together as they hid away from the cold and the world outside.
