Dreams don't always come true - I hope

Elise returned his kiss with a soft smile, relaxing more as he held her tightly and snuggled into their bedding with her. Everything was fine. Just a bad dream. She wasn't even pregnant - not for lack of them trying - so she didn't know why that nightmare had even snuck up on her in the first place. All her thoughts of the future with her hopes and dreams for their relationship just just started getting to her in ways she didn't like, she supposed. She tucked herself into his neck as he held her close and rocked her gently, soothing the last of her anxiety and fears away with his warmth and gentle words. "I always worry, you know this," she teased softly in return, tipping her muzzle up to give his throat a gentle kiss.

As she came back to reality she remembered what they had planned today and she grinned, lifting her head so that she could find his gaze. "Patrol day!" she said with a chuckle, leaving another kiss on his lips, the nightmare clearly pushed aside. She didn't quite forget it - it felt too real for her to do that just yet - but his comforting and her excitement to try this new task with him made it a little easier to focus on something else. Elise gave him another kiss, lingering a little longer and more tenderly this time, before she finally pulled away and made herself slip out of his embrace before she was too tempted to just steal him away and stay in bed for the remainder of the morning. She'd just have to give them something to look forward to when they got done with their patrol instead.
