From Time to Time

He knew this must be hard for her. He'd faced his own trials throughout his life, though his hadn't fallen in such quick succession as hers had. She'd only just got over her brother's death when the child was stripped from her. That had to be undeniably painful. He waited for an answer, wondering if she would even be able to give him one - he'd unknowingly probably brought her mood down severely. Finally it came, in the affirmative. There was more information, Maverick had helped her. He would have to remember to praise his son for doing such a thing. Some wolves didn't even think about taking over with burials, but it was obvious his son wasn't one of those wolves. I am glad he could assist you, it must have been difficult. The empathy was evident in his face and his lyrics, though he knew that empathy and sympathy were not what she needed. Loccian needed someone to remind her of the good things in life. She needed a distraction. As their eyes met he found himself at a loss for words. He assumed she would break their stare, but it seemed she was content to gaze into his eyes for a while. Anxiety strickened his chest, had she noticed something he had not? Was she remembering what a monster he had shown himself to be? Was she judging him in a way he wasn't aware of? Finally she pulled her vision away, those storm grey eyes leaving imprints on his very mind. She spoke again, telling him she was coping this time - unlike the last time when she'd harmed herself. You had me worried then, but I didn't want to force my presence on you so I kept my distance. He hoped that was a fair enough explanation for his lack of presence during such a rough time. He had wanted to be there for her, but Bronze assured him he was taking care of it - and now he was with another woman. Amethyst eyes fluttered to her leg, noting the lack of new scars. She was telling the truth - at least for now. There was no telling if she would be able to keep from harming herself days or weeks from now. She told him about having nightmares in her den. He remembered where it was, a stall in the barn. Gerhardt heaved a sigh. You're not alone. I've become a bit of an insomniac since the.. since the challenge. We could find somewhere together if you like.. might do us some good to have a bit of company. Granted, it would make things more difficult for him to keep his mind from wandering due to her heat, but it would be marvelous to not have to go to an empty den with only his thoughts to plague him. At one time he might have cared how it would look for them to share a den, but the former-King could care less now. Let the rumors spread if they needed to, the Ambassador only wanted - neigh, needed - a friend. Speech, |
