For a little while after he'd finished talking, Tamsyn was quiet. Kane could see her eyes moving as the thoughts jumped about in her head, considering and weighing what he had said to her. She seemed to be making some sort of mental connections in the privacy of her mind. It wasn't until she mentioned how she knew Resin wouldn't want that for her did he understand. Resin had explicitly told Tamsyn to learn to move on and love others after her passing. Her late mate had been cognizant enough to realize her inevitable demise and had done her best to prepare her loved ones for the eventuality of what was to come. Tamsyn was still struggling with that part, but who could blame her? Her mate, the only wolf she had ever loved, had been so unjustly ripped from her life and her heart was shattered. Grief, sorrow, pain, and uncertainty were to be expected. "It sounds like she loved you very much and knew how you are," he noted. "She knew you well enough to keep you from being alone."

Kane kept his gaze focused on Tamsyn throughout their heart to heart conversation, watching while she studied him with this little smile on her face. He couldn't tell what was going on behind those mint eyes, but he supposed it didn't really matter, so long as she was smiling. She wore a smile so naturally that anything else just felt out of place. His hazel eyes left hers only to take in her striking features, the accents of white against otherwise endless black, mint-green jewels that looked out at the world with kindness. Her smaller, slender form tucked up perfectly against his, and despite her size, no part of her felt delicate or fragile, but was still distinctly feminine and flawless. Even her scars only enhanced her natural beauty, not blemishes but stories of triumph over the odds and survival, from the collection of cuts across her foreleg to the bites across her face. Tamsyn was the epitome of tenacity, and she was all the more beautiful and radiant for it.

She lifted her muzzle and caught his lips with her own, an action that he was fast becoming familiar with for all the right reasons, and was eager to kiss her back with the same tender affection she showed him. His heart raced, but whether it was from the physical touch or something stronger pulling at his soul, he couldn't tell. It was still too soon to say, and they were both coming from a place of pain, helping each other out of the dark and into the light. She thanked him, and he returned her smile with one of his own. "You're welcome, Tamsyn," he replied, leaning closer to place another soft kiss on the end of her nose. "I never knew how to handle grief or loss until I faced it either. In a lot of ways, I still don't. But I use what I know and what I feel to be the truth to help me through it. I'm just happy it cam bring you some peace too." His smile widened while he gazed into her eyes for a beat longer, then looked around their surroundings with a wider grin. "And thank you for bringing me out here. It means more to me than you know."
